One side of Ocasio-Cortez’s office doesn’t know what the other side is doing.
The story behind the comedic and unsuccessful rollout of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal demonstrates a congressional office in utter chaos with no one — or everyone — in charge.
The document appeared on Ocasio-Cortez’s webpage on February 7 and by nightfall had been unceremoniously deleted. This was after a day of mockery and outrage at some of the more unrealistic, even silly proposals the document detailed.
The “explanations” offered by her staff ran the gamut from the document being a “draft” to charges by one of her main advisers that Republicans had planted the document to make her look stupid.
Seriously? After a few weeks in the public eye, it should be obvious that Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t need the GOP to look stupid.
The communications staff has so far not responded to an inquiry about the now-missing blog post.
But on Saturday morning, chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti tweeted that the FAQ page was indeed posted by the Ocasio-Cortez staff but was done so in error. He called the page “an early draft of a FAQ that was clearly unfinished and that doesn’t represent the GND resolution got published to the website by mistake (idea was to wait for launch, monitor q’s, and rewrite that FAQ before publishing).”
What is Mr. Chakrabarti doing still working for the congressman? That level of stupidity and incompetence would have cost any other chief of staff on the Hill his job. Chakrabarti is listed as one of the founders of the Justice Democrats organization, who played a key role in electing Ocasio-Cortez. His Hill administrative experience is apparently lacking. more here
LOL … McConnell to Set Up Vote on Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, ‘Give Everybody an Opportunity to Go on Record’

….So if every man in Congress renames their johnson “the green new deal” she’ll yank it?….
Slartibartfast should’ve stuck to fjords.

This is an arrogant and dangerously naive’ assessment of Chakrabarti. If the writer had done their homework on him, the first speculation would be about his mendacity — certainly not his intelligence.
To wit: “The guy in the green T-shirt is Saikat Chakrabarti a co-founder of Justice Democrats. He graduated from Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
He spent about 10 years in Silicon Valley where he co-founded Mockingbird (hmm Mockingbird), a web design tool, and then built up the product team at the payment processor Stripe.
He then left to work on the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign as director for
organizing technology. It is believed that most of Sanders’ momentum during the 2016 campaign occurred after Chakrabarti started launching social media campaigns. It should be remembered that in early 2015, Clinton held a 60-point lead over Sanders. Then Bernie pretty much closed the entire gap.”

The only thing Chakrabarti can really be accused of, it seems to me, is lying about it being mistakenly posted.
How many times must we be reminded that the Left elects figureheads. Their “staffers” are the radical activists who drive legislation and radical initiatives behind the scenes. The reason Cortez can’t answer any questions about this thing is because she’s the one who is ignorant of the details.
And she’s just got started!
Little Willy, Willy – you made my day
He did Uncle Al. He never expected Arthur Dent to show up.
“….charges by one of her main advisers that Republicans had planted the document…”
Republicans…seriously? Even Hillary knew to blame the alt-right for alleged exploits like this. The only thing Republicans can do is pounce.
I… want… my… E… Z… chaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrr… 😆
Spot On, Abigail!
He doesn’t work for her. She works for him!
Another Open Cunt can propose all she wants, whatever she wants, no matter how stupid.
She’s otherwise meaningless. The democraps already used up their, “vote on it to see it” card, nobody will fall for that shit again.
She posts some weird ass shit on her Twitter. Today she posted something to the effect that “The People” shouldn’t fear law makers if they Yada yada. Who the hell does she think she is? That’s the second foreign born appointed official that thinks we should fear them. I personally think that’s a big problem.
Not only is she a dumbass, but the liberal laboratory of California just admitted hare-brained ideas from the likes this idiot are, well, hare-brained.
Sad that it cost the taxpayers of California 77 BILLION DOLLARS!!!!!
77 BILLION dollars later, California pulls the plug on high speed train:

This is what learning to take advantage of opportunity looks like. The e Republicans are kinda slow on the uptake, but better late than never.
Well, California had to pull the plug on the Choo Choo so we could provide all of Mexico with free health care.
They tried to fix stupid.
Stupid’s still in DC.
The posted photo is a French train wreck.
The below is a Bronx train wreck…

That line could have been a train AOC took, oh, once in awhile, on her ‘ways’ back and forth from Yorktown THROUGH the South Bronx to get into Manhattan as fast as she could.
Oh, it turns out at the BX accident? The engineer ‘fell asleep at the wheel’…and we get a derailed train as a result, just.like.her.

“The Republicans are kinda slow on the uptake, but better late than never….”
Don’t confuse “slow” with “corrupt.”
“… got published to the website by mistake (idea was to wait for launch…”
“…idea was to wait for launch…”
Launch?!!?! I thought it said lunch!
It could be that simple, with these dimwits.
Corrupt. That too.
She ought to give up any dreams of serving the country from the HR, Senate, or White House. Serving liquor at those locations would be more likely. For her own good, she should maintain her bartending certificate.

Democrat Senators: “We love the Green New Deal!… It’s what America needs!”
McConnell: “Okay, let’s take a vote on it.”
Democrat Senators: “Fuck you, Mitch!”
Someone should tell her BF Riley Roberts that he hasn’t been pounding her often enough lately. If she got some more at home, maybe she’d shut up for a day or two.
If you think Mitch-the-Bitch is taking a vote to stick it to the Socialists, you’re not paying attention. It’s likely designed to take the Green Shit Deal off the front page and let the dumpster fire go out.
If it’s not an issue in the 2020 Elections, the USAsylum will be truly fcuked. Trust me on this.
They yanked it because it was AOC’s first draft and hard to read, because it was written in various shades of green crayon.
Her staff is trying to graduate her writing skills to usage of pre school pencil, with little success.
