DC: Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday she was not snubbed for a spot on the House Climate Crisis Committee and that she voluntarily turned down an offer to serve on it.
The New York representative rolled out her non-binding climate change resolution – the Green New Deal – outside the Capitol Thursday shortly after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi named the lawmakers serving on the House’s new climate change investigatory committee. Ocasio-Cortez was not on the roster.
“Speak Pelosi and I have spoken at length about climate. We share this priority. She did, in fact, invite me to be on this committee, so I don’t think that this is a snub,” Ocasio-Cortez said when asked why she was not named to the committee.
Ocasio-Cortez turned down the chance to serve on the Climate Crisis Committee because of her other committee assignments and need to focus on the Green New Deal resolution.
“I’m on four subcommittees. We’re doing [the Green New Deal],” she said. “Additionally, the select committee is an investigatory body. … So they’re tackling the investigative piece and right now we’re tackling the legislative piece.”
Recent news reports suggest that Ocasio-Cortez’s resolution does not have the support of Pelosi, which could determine its success in the lower chamber of Congress. more here
h/t Bad_Brad.
Maybe it was you running your big fat piehole…. huh?
She pretty much said, “I’m too busy anyway.” lol
Who is the complete moron who gave a fictitious name to that committee to make it sound important? The reality is all they would do is shuffling papers by renowned climatologist Al Gore.
She just took down her Looney Tunes climate FAQ page on her web site. (Che.com) Probably doesn’t want anybody stealing her ideas.
OK, whatever you say. You keep telling yourself that.
She doesn’t “think” it was a snub, but she’s not sure. It all depends on what the meaning of ‘snub’ is. Was it a ‘snub-snub?’ Or only a ‘snub?’
Not only is everything going to be free, but also check this out, if you missed it:
in other words, if you don’t want to work you’ll get UBI in addition to everything free.
What a great thing she’s got going on – FREE FREE FREE and you don’t even have to work!!!! That’s “True Free!”
*gag*
he actual resolution that outlines the Green New Deal does not include the “unwilling to work” part, but the overview document, released by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s office, does include the “unwilling” language.
WHO THE FLYING FUCK DOES THIS SNOWFLAKE MILLENIAL BARFLY THINKS SHE IS? Somebody take out to woodshed and let her know she’s out in 2020. 🖕
The $10 million+ earners are morally wrong for making so much money,
but she can’t pay for it without them.

No, Brad. But can anyone say Latino with an American accent? Why does everyone have to say latino with a latino accent like they are a freaking latino? Isn’t that appropriating?
My car is 15-1/2 years old and I’ll be damned if this bitch is going to pry it from my hands within 12 years. I’m driving it to my grave.
Did Liz let her have some of her beer? Dammit, Liz!
“Speaker Pelosi and I have spoken at length about climate.”
That must have been some interesting conversation. How long can you continue a conversation about the weather?
My question is, how this Green Deal will work with the free trucks Selena Montgomery hinted about on her reBUTTal?
ONLY KOTEX
Is a nothing
She tries to be an Eva Peron
But Evita was able to manipulate the
Dictator of Argentina
OC can’t manipulate anyone of greater seniority in DC
The ONLY reason she has any exposure
Because the manipulative MSM gives her that
They also gave Cindy Sheehan that
Until she was no longer useful
The time will come when OC is longer useful
“her non-binding climate change resolution”
I don’t believe this moron came up with this on her own – there’s a puppeteer running the strings.
