ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ/BERNIE SANDERS/CLIMATE CHANGE/ENVIRONMENT/GREEN NEW DEAL/JOE BIDEN: “Joe Biden put AOC, a young woman — not talented, in many ways — in charge of his energy plan and the environment. Essentially, her and Bernie Sanders — who ran a lot of times for President, never made it. Good base, but that’s about it. In other words, he wants to impose the Green New Deal on our country.
When I first saw the Green New Deal, I thought it was a joke. I said, ‘This will never go anywhere.’ Now they’re trying to impose it. This will destroy our country and make us noncompetitive with other countries.”
