Sen. Markey Claims McConnell is Trying to “Sabotage” and “Silence” the Green New Deal
He’s so mad, he’s opposing voting for his own bill…
Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) is not happy about Majority Leader McConnell’s decision to bring the Green New Deal up for a vote. Markey co-authored the Green New Deal, which was introduced last week. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is the House sponsor of the “bill.”
Via his official Twitter account, Markey accused Republicans of “sabotaging” the “movement” he’s working to build by rushing a vote on the legislation.
To the tweets:
Don’t let Mitch McConnell fool you: this is nothing but an attempt to sabotage the movement we are building. He wants to silence your voice so Republicans don’t have to explain why they are climate change deniers. McConnell wants this to be the end, this is just the beginning. https://t.co/GUxJ5HG2jb

This isn't a new Republican trick. By rushing a vote on the #GreenNewDeal resolution, Republicans want to avoid a true national debate & kill our efforts to organize. We’re having the first national conversation on climate change in a decade. We can’t let Republicans sabotage it.

Not sure where Markey’s been, but the Green New Deal has done nothing to further serious discourse on climate change, quite the opposite. The tenets of the bill are so absurd, it’s been roundly and rightly mocked. And so has Markey for fussing over the fact that his ridiculous piece of “legislation” is getting airtime on the Senate floor at all.
Basically:
#CocaineMitch is a genius!
He got @SenMarkey to oppose his own Green New Deal bill ???? https://t.co/Flps95DjNc pic.twitter.com/ivForgTbUp

Still chuckling over McConnell’s little grin when he announced the Senate would be bringing the Green New Deal up for a vote.

The advocates of the Green New Deal should welcome this vote because it’s their opportunity to convince people to support the bill. Seems like they want to use this bill to mobilize the core of the progressive fascist part.
They know that they are about to be tar and feathered with their bill. They committed a major screw up with this.
AOC’s Green New Deal vs. Elon Musk’s Mars Colony.
Which one is more realistic and why?
A Mars colony is at least technically feasible. The GND requires bending the laws of physics.
Cocaine Mitch: Watermellon killer par excellence. Lol
Wow, that Markey sure is slick. Kick off a “national conversation” over a Stalinist plan by calling anyone who doesn’t approve a climate change “denier”. He is one silver-tongued devil, for sure.
Markey is really one of the dumbest people I have ever heard orate.
Another embarrassment for my home state. Dumb as a rock.
His co-sponsorship of the bill was designed to prevent his being Capuano’d in MA (uber lefty MA Congressman Mike Capuano, an older white guy, was primaried by Ayana Pressley, a younger African American woman, this past election).
Fast Eddie isn’t bright enough to have thought through the ramifications of his sponsorship of the GND.
Malarkey isn’t co-sponsoring the bill. He’s the Senate sponsor and Occasionally-Competent is the House sponsor of the bill.
Most sponsors of bills are thrilled to see their measure put up for a vote. Unless they were bluffing to begin with. Perhaps McConnell is calling Markey’s bluff.
Bingo!
Obviously the GND is a steaming pile of crap, make these morons own it.
Own it? Make them EAT it!
The “New Green Ripoff” is not looking so great after reading the FAQ. Actually it never looked great. It is dumb beyond belief so McConnell is right in trying to get the Dems on record. Can’t believe all the idiot Dem Presidential candidates who helped Trump out by embracing this fiasco.
What you are hearing from Markey–aka the Moron from Massachusetts is a squeal of pain. AOC’s office botched the rollout–and Markey feels like she stomped on his dick. That has to smart a bit.
Malarkey has proven himself perfectly capable of doing that himself. Stepping on it, that is.
Brer Mitch strikes again. Instead of the briar patch, Mitch got a clean kill on the DemocRATs again.
“He’s so mad, he’s opposing voting for his own bill… ”
Love that sub-head!! Laughed out loud and long.
Markey THOUGHT that pandering to the loony left tree-huggers would be beneficial. But, then AOC [aka Dumber Than A Box Of Rocks] shot everyone in the foot with her stupid, yet truthful, FAQ. Thanks to DTABOR, Markey is made to look like a fool. And, that is all that it is.
People keep talking about this GND resolution as though it is a final bill which will actually impose something on the nation. Whether the resolution passes or not, does absolutely nothing concrete. Bills can be introduced anytime in the future to actually implement any measures that the Congress wants, such as guaranteed income programs for people who do not want to work or to eliminate hydrocarbon fuel use.
He’s so unnerved that he’s conducting improvised damage control through shared responsibility.

Nothing kills democrat party-backed policy quicker than light of day.
Markey is as Delusional at AOC ,,, I hope those that voted for him see it. The LSM , Lame Stream Media , spews their Lies & Deceit and the sheep breath it in. Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoziALuwbtg
Markey should have worn a leisure suit. A real disco-era relic.
Malarkey and Pocahontas, perfect together. Perhaps Trump should start calling him Malarkey. The Pocahontas name has really stuck and this bill earns Markey his own nickname. For every action there is is an equal and opposite reaction. Malarkey seem shocked by opposition. He thinks he is entitled to start a “movement” without push back. He certainly doesn’t seem to recognize that those who do not accept the man made “climate change” theory (a label substituted for “global warming” after the data for that was challenged) as God given truth have any right to oppose the man caused climate change theory as unproven. The climate models these guys use are no better than their assumptions and ten years ago they were saying that NYC would be under water by now. Climate is not something you can determine on a short sample, it is a concept that requires many thousands of years. Short term stuff is weather subject to natural variability. We only have a bit over a century of data and not all of it is reliable.
