Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Chief of Staff Admits: Green New Deal About Socialism, Not Climate
Saikat Chakrabarti, the chief of staff and former campaign mastermind for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), reportedly admitted that the “Green New Deal†was not originally about climate change, but changing the economy.
That claim comes from Sam Ricketts, who directs climate change policy for for Washington Governor Jay Inslee, one of the two dozen candidates for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. Ricketts met with Chakrabarti this spring to make acquaintances after Ocasio-Cortez called Inslee’s climate change plan the “gold standard†in policy.
The Washington Post reported Wednesday:
Chakrabarti had an unexpected disclosure. “The interesting thing about the Green New Deal,†he said, “is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all.†Ricketts greeted this startling notion with an attentive poker face. “Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?†Chakrabarti continued. “Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.â€
Now, you might be thinking that this was Ricketts making it up or getting the quotes wrong, but, in fact, the Washington Post’s David Montgomery was there during that meeting, and was recording it all. This is all exactly as we’ve said: using ‘climate change’ as a front to change everything to Modern Socialism.
Of course not, at heart it is always about power and control.
What exactly is “modern socialism”? Is that how the American left under Hispanic (AOC) and Mohammadan (Ilhan Omar) rule is repackaging the most economically destructive and human killing social idea of the 19th century? Just call it communism and quit lying about it already.
Trump 2020 Make the left speak plain English!
Which everybody except gullible liberals already knew.
