Cat Fight! Ocasio-Cortez Takes Shot at Sen. Feinstein, Says Her Policies Are “Going to Kill Us”
“Climate delayers are the new climate deniers”
In a bizarre Instagram live, presumably filmed from her kitchen, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez prattled on about climate change, took a couple pot shots at Senator Diane Feinstein, and said climate change is killing thousands of people.
From WaEx:
While cooking chili and addressing supporters during an Instagram live stream Sunday evening, Ocasio-Cortez took aim at Feinstein’s viral rebuttal to a group of kids urging her to support the the [sic] freshman congresswoman’s environmental resolution.
“The issue has gotten worse. So I don’t think that working on an issue for 30 years alone is what qualifies as — as what makes someone qualified to solve an issue,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a clear swipe at Feinstein.
“That said, there are a lot of people that have been doing this work for decades that have proposed ambitious solutions for years and have not been listened to,” she added. “So it’s not just, ‘I’ve been doing this for 30 years,’ so we need to listen to them because frankly people have been failing at the same things for 30 or 40 years. What we need to do is say, ‘What solutions have not been tried yet? And what ambitious scale have we not shot at yet.’ And let’s do it.”
During the live stream, Ocasio-Cortez also questioned whether people should still have children because of climate change and further warned that “we have one shot” as “thousands” of people are dying due to its onslaught. The 29-year-old Democratic Socialist said “climate delayers are the new climate deniers” and politicians who seek to “fix” climate change with a carbon tax alone are “part of the problem,” arguing a real solution has to match the magnitude of the problem.
Progressives envisioning a Green New Deal have turned away from carbon pricing in favor of government mandates to transition the U.S. to entirely renewable energy.
A group of children confronted Feinstein on Friday morning, demanding she vote for the Green New Deal. However, the senator wasn’t having it.
“You know what’s interesting about this group? I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I know what I’m doing. You come in here, and you say, ‘It has to be my way or the highway.’ I don’t respond to that. I’ve gotten elected. I just ran. I was elected by almost a million-vote plurality, and I know what I’m doing. Maybe people should listen a little bit,” Feinstein said in a video of the encounter outside the Democrat’s San Francisco office shared on social media by the Sunrise Movement, a progressive climate advocacy group.

This is shaping up to be one fabulous fight between old blood Democrats and their younger, wildly radical counterparts and I am so here for it.

Sandy O’s entire incoherent education seems to consist of every muttering she heard from her under-the-influence customers in her bar maid days.
Perhaps. But, she will be a multi-millionaire before she finishes her freshman year in Congress.
If she isn’t found Fostered on a park bench somewhere first.
Does anyone really care what that Honky O-C says?
Oh maybe Hillary?
Snark.
She seems to understand some old tricks …
Apparently, no one knows where AOC lives in NYC. The address she used to register in her district is her dead father’s flat, but no one in that building who a reporter talked to knew who she is. They said mail would pile up for a month before someone would come by and get it. I’m wondering if bloodhounds aren’t on her trail for election fraud, i.e., not actually living in the district that elected her.
Whoever wrote this gets a giant bzzzzt for the idea that not living in her district would be election fraud. There is no requirement whatsoever for her to live there.
Downvoting won’t change the facts. This is not a matter of opinion, so you’re not entitled to your own.
She already has a multi-million dollar book deal.
Age this gal thirty years, and you can see an old, lonely, depressed cat lady muttering into the void from her kitchen.
No, age this gal 50 years and you have Dianne Feinstein.
With a mustache, an enormous gut, and back boobs.
International Relations major, Economics minor, climatologist. Illiterate in all. BU must be so proud of this blivet.
Finger slipped on my tablet. Sorry Tunkmaster.
Economic degree?
You mean the degree choice of Journalist Majors
………….when they flunk out of journalism school?
Actually, that’s true. For many years, college students who weren’t there for something relatively specific—physics, organic chemistry, chemical engineering, architecture, Latin, blah blah—tended to end up officially as “economics” or “psychology” majors. Of course a few of those were actually there for some serious study of economics or psychology, but most, not so much.
#SandyFromTheSuburbs makes the schizo vagrants in the local grocery store parking lot seem sane.
Chief Wiggum,
Ralphie, you stay here in the car while daddy tries to talk some sense into this raving derelict.
Chili farts are as bad a cow farts.
You have to wonder if that is a meatless chili she is making. In AOC’s case, I would even have to wonder if her definition of “making chili” means opening up a can of store-bought chili and spooning it out.
“Chili farts are as bad a cow farts.”
Eeeewwwweeee…those refried beans can be as ozone depleting as brussels sprouts.
Speaking of which…what happened to the hole in the ozone layer that was suppose to kill us all a few years ago? Don’t hear much about it now days. New year…new crisis.
The Naive… Green New Deal.
Trump’s 2020 campaign is writing itself.
Still long popcorn and shovels.
Nice condo. What’s the rent?
It’s not in her District – what a phoney!
She’s one big phoney, but there’s nothing phoney about having a place to live in DC. That’s normal, and now that she’s being paid she can afford it.
Guess she’s Slumming…..
…….away from her Park Slope Mansion to make the Stinky Non-Green Chili??????
What Park Slope mansion? When did she ever live in Park Slope?
Oh, the Internet will not forget this.
I is not just the Internet which will not forget, she has alienated a lot of people in the Hill.
Look at all those fossil fuels she is consuming. Does she realize she is destroying the planet every day of her existence? She seems blissfully unaware as she is lecturing us.
I think she is aware. The ruling class is exempt from the controls they impose on the serfs. The ruling class knows all of this climate nonsense is BS to be used to control the little people. It is all a variation that goes back to the fallout shelter panic I remember as a kid (which morphed every few years into a new crises).
In the United States, the working class are Democrats.
The middle class are Republicans.
The upper class are Communists.”

As long as the Dem Central Committee stays silent…. I think they hope she burns herself out before they have to take action. The Stalinists have another Trotsky on their hands.
She introduces one non-binding resolution and she goes off thinking she is in charge.
Pelosi has a leash on her.
The leash needs to be accompanied by a muzzle.
The Green New Deal is not New and not Green. It is another plan to force big government socialism on America using the so called “global warming” as the “new” excuse or “cause”.
Nor is it a deal.
Estimated cost of this “deal” is up to $93 trillion dollars, or $65,000 per American household.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-25/group-sees-ocasio-cortez-s-green-new-deal-costing-93-trillion
But don’t worry about how we’re supposed to pay for it! We can just get the money from the same magic money tree that AOC thought NYC was going to pluck $3 billion from to pay for Amazon’s tax breaks!
No problem. There’s a lot of Monopoly Money that can be printed to cover the $93 Trillion. Besdies, in the kind of “Utopia” that Crazy Bernie and Alexandria Occasional Cortex want to bring to America, we don’t need no stinkin money; just “Chits” like they had in the former Soviet Union.
Green is Obscene.
The ngd is the same kind as my father used to describe our neighbor’s car…goat-vomit-green.
Only in the desert.
This isn’t quite tugging on Superman’s cape or spitting into the wind, but watch out AOC. You could be rendered a one-term wonder if you keep flapping your trap.
Fingers crossed.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the old guard would set her up for ouster.
Using a large chef’s knife forged in a carbon-belching steel factory (does she really need a chef’s knife that large? How come no one’s asked the control freak this important question?), has a gas stove, I guarantee you that her kitchen lights are not powered by wind or solar, I see no free electrical outlets because their all being used by an appliance powered by non-wind and non-solar. Her horse teeth aren’t chattering, presumably because the heat is on, etc.
GFY, hypocrite.
If only she could. She is trying to do it to us.
How ’bout the chemicals in the cabinet finish – ozone depletion – likelihood of formaldehyde in the wood composites – stainless appliances … petrochemicals in the clothing, bottles in the fridge, plastic bag in that cereal box to choke sea otters … if the sweater is animal products was the animal treated humanely and free-ranged? Glasses frames produced by sweat-shop 3rd world labor …
She’s not the boss for having the idea – but might have some persuasive influence if she cleaned up her own house to meet the GND standard … that ought to keep her busy for the next 4 years …
if you have a couple of hours you want to waste, you might consider watching the movie, if you can find it “Wild in the Streets”, it what happens when 16yr olds get the vote. NY already elected an air head
If she had respect for her elders she would never have challenged Joe Crowley in the first place.
It would be a mistake to underestimate this woman. She’s knows her audience and its not us.
I sure hope they know, love, and take her advice not to breed. Then hopefully we can be done with this stupidity in a couple of generations. At least my great grandchildren can survive.
The time for this silliness was ten years ago. Leftoid House, Senate, White House, NASA, NOAA, UN, and far too much of the “science” biz . . . if they were going to stampede us into embracing Soviet America, that was the time to do it. Now of course we have ten years’ more data demonstrating that AGW is all a load of rubbish, and a growing portion of the population knows it perfectly well.
All Pelosi, Feinstein, and the other D’rats have to do is keep the silly kids from getting the car keys, and we should be OK.
The Socialist Nitwit From the Bronx has an intellect just slightly greater than that of a hard-boiled egg, with apologies to hard-boiled eggs.
Nonetheless, a perfect progressive leftist – all emotion, no facts, knows exactly what everyone else should/must do.
I’m dropping AOC in favor of SNFTB.
It’s a plot. AOC is saying all this crazy stuff to just make the rest of the Democrat party look sane.
Now that’s believable……
As she stabs vegetables in the heart. She definitely should not reproduce. Hopefully, other Dems will make it a priority to make AOC a one-term Congresswoman.
Democrats. A choice between “policies that are going to kill us” or policies that are going to bankrupt us.
“”Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez prattled on about climate change, took a couple pot shots at Senator Diane Feinstein, and said climate change is killing thousands of people.””
I thought that she’s been saying that population reduction is a good thing. She should be four-square behind DiFi if she actually believes what she’s been saying.
Mutual Destruction is often used to describe what would have happened in the political arena, were one side to have attacked the other using verbal weapons, causing the other side to retaliate, ensuring the complete obliteration of most of the Democrat Party.
Since the inception of this fiasco called aoc A great FORREST moment “STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES”. WUTADOLT suits her from new YAARK.
Progressives envisioning a Green New Deal have turned away from carbon pricing in favor of government mandates
Yes! Force the Brave New World by government coercion! In case no one else has done, I nominate AOC for Fascist of the Year. Democracy is so last century…
But it’s hard not to notice that the above personal slurs on AOC at middle-school level are nothing but counter-productive on this supposedly educated website. How many are trolls from the other side?
If saturday night live was a comedy show instead of a propaganda machine for the democrat party, the show would be having a field day with this dumbbell.
Imagine: as she’s cooking while blabbing on about nonsense, the food starts burning, then the lights and gas start to go off because there are no fossil fuels being delivered. Once she gets the flashlight on, special guest Fauxcahontas could walk on, wearing a miner’s cap with a light on the front:
Gidget: “Well look who’s here – Elizabeth Warren!”
Fauxcahontas: (Swiling a beer) “BURRRRRRP!……”
AOC doesn’t want to have children because she’s afraid of having twins — she doesn’t want to be pregnant for 18 months!
