Ocasio-Cortez Walks Back Claim on World Ending in 12 years

“Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like: The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?” Ocasio-Cortez said. “This is the war — this is our World War II.”

 

WFB: Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) on Sunday attempted to downplay her claim that the world will end in 12 years unless Congress acts on climate change by mocking Republicans and saying, “You’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal.”

“This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and ‘fact check it,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Like the ‘world ending in 12 years’ thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal.”  more here

  1. this is the ‘excuse de jour’ (or excuse detour) for the democrats. First it was kim foxx in chicago, in the smullet case, who said she was ‘speaking colloquially’ when she said she recused herself. Then comey implied that excuse last week, and now casio cortex trots it out. Biden’s turn next, I bet, as he explains his recently revealed positional/campaign videos from his previous failed attempts.
    She just likes scaring little kids.

    I’ve got a sponge on a stick in the bathroom that, if you put big eyes and horse teeth on it, you could argue it is her smarter twin.

  2. Wasn’t she justifying the Green New Deal when she said this? You have to have the mind of a sea sponge to use “dry-humor and sarcasm” to roll out something as big and important and absolutely necessary as she says the GND is

  3. didn’t robbie orourke raise the ante and say it was only 10 years? I don’t think he was joking, as desperate as he is getting. Sponge boy believed her and tried to do her one better. Idiot.
    Is she going to explain it to all the school kids that played hookey to protest? She probably won’t as she likely wants them to be little socialist sponges themselves.

    Can anyone name one, single environmental catathphic prediction that has come true in the last 50 years?

  4. She’s got it all twisted around in her silly head. We don’t take “the world will end in 12 years” literally. Most conservatives do not believe in anything as down-right dumb as that.

    That’s the entire point of ridiculing the stupid twit for her stupid comment, which I think she literally believed when she said it.

  5. This simple minded plebeian is a perfect example of the product produced by todays schools. A degree in economics? She couldn’t operate a cash register if the stroke keys didn’t have pictures.

  6. Sweety, when it takes you three months to think of an excuse to justify and explain your idiotic words and this is the best you can come up with then we know our suspisions are confirmed….youre as vacuous as the day is long.

  7. Okay, so we don’t have to worry anymore now that the libtards admitted they were just joking on the world ending in twelve years, men being women and vice versa, climate change being real, Medicare for all is smart, beneficial and affordable, college is free, student loans don’t have to be paid back, babies are just clumps of cells with no humanity, women aren’t equal in pay, jobs or brains and Democrats are honest, upstanding and honest!

  8. Sure, tootsie pop. Whatever makes you feel more intelligent.
    Btw. If it was a joke or satire or something then why WAIT this long and have not only your opponents but your constituents take you seriously?

    What a bald faced lie.
