What, she didn’t clap back? Has the media finally given up on that meme?
‘Out of context’: AOC backtracks on claim climate change will end world in 12 years
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Sen. Rand Paul after he claimed she said the world would end in 12 years if nothing is done about climate change.
“Hey Senator! Would you like me to also take your comments out of context and pose them as your earnest position, as you have chosen to do with me?” the New York Democrat wrote Wednesday. “I assume the answer is yes, especially given that the GOP climate agenda is about as fictional as Spaceballs anyway.”

But, um, see, she did kinda say it
For some reason GOP seems to think this is a gaffe, but it’s actually a generational difference.
Young people understand that climate change is an existential threat: 3,000 Americans died in Hurricane María.

Wasn’t this why she released her Green New Deal with Senator Ed Markey? Yet, has failed to demand a vote on it in the House, and freaked when Mitch McConnell put it up for a vote in the Senate (forgetting that Markey submitted it to the Senate).
So far, Rand hasn’t bothered replying, but, then, what’s that old saying about “never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
3,000 Americans died in Hurricane MarÃa.
NO they did not. 3000 people might have died on the island in the weeks and months AFTER the hurricane but 3000 people DID NOT DIE IN>>IN>>>>IN Hurricane Maria.
Context matters.
The UN says we’ve got 12 years left to fix it:
Ocasio-Cortez told Coates:
“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 gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change, and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?â€
FIVE MONTHS LATER:
She tweeted over the weekend, “This is a technique of the GOP (Good Old Party), to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and â€fact-check†it. Like the â€world ending in 12 years†thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal. But the GOP is basically Dwight from â€The Office†so who knows.â€
AOC is Donald Trumps Love Child. I wonder if she gets an allowance? I mean her mere existence adds 5 points to Trumps popularity.
you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge
AOC once again proves her lack of intelligence and what a waste of time it was for her to go to college.
Does she even realize the SEA SPONGE SAVE EARTH?
A large, shallow water sponge found in the Caribbean has been discovered to generate compounds used in AZT which is used to fight AIDS.
How life survived Snowball Earth, the planet’s most severe ice age
CNN)Around 700 million years ago, the world is thought to have experienced its most severe ice age — a period evocatively described by scientists as Snowball Earth.
It threatened the survival of much of the planet’s primitive living things, like oxygen-dependent marine life — including the earliest animals, such as simple sponges.
YET is was the sponges which survived snowball earth. A period in which the entire planet was covered in GLACIERS. SPONGES SAVED EARTH.
Ridiculing Sponges is the stupidest thing a politician could do. Perhaps in the future she could replace sponges with Brillo pads since she owes her very LIFE to the hardiness of SPONGES which survived snowball earth and oxygenated the waters and filtered out the crap and kept our oceans clean and habitable.
Frankly, I think AOC owes her very life to a defective condom.
She’s a jerk.
One of the interesting ploys being used by progressives is the concept of picking off a dozen RED seats every year. The gop is clueless. They are more interested in killing Muslim terrorists than in defending their house seats and working to get Americans the help and care they need.
The ESTABLISHMENT GOP would rather spend a TRILLION FUKING DOLLARS ON THE MIDDLE EAST than a Trillion dollars fixing up America.
Lets borrow a trillion. Lets let our roads, bridges, schools, streets, highways, sewer systems, water systems and power grid go to hell.
BUT LETS BLOW THE FUK UP ALL KINDS OF SHIT BECAUSE THE MIC WANTS US TOO!!!!!!!!!
The man on the street. Independents and progressives and the new GOP party is against all these damn wars in the Middle East.
Pull us back…NOT OUT. Saudia Arabia, Kuwait, Diego Garcia and fleets in the gulf is enough presence to protect our interests. Let Turkey deal with Syria and norther Iraq. Let Russia Deal with Afghanistan. Let America FIX our own country, Take care of our true allies, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudia Arabia, Egypt and Israel in the region and let the rest of this cesspool go to hell.
FIX AMERICA. FIX IT. FIX IT. Infrastructure will get Trump a billion votes and the democrats know it. Thats why the refuse to fix America and keep the plantations in good working order so they can harvest votes for power.
AOC = “Always Out of Context”
AOC
Is a freshman House Rep whose words seem to have Teach somewhat obsessed with for some reason
Teach nothing she can ever say will ever be as significant to Trump’s whoppers like “Mexico will pay for the wallâ€
“It will be impenetrable made of harden concrete “
@John
You do realize Trump has a wall in place right?
You do realize that MEXICO has called out the army on their northern and southern border and is keeping Illegals out of the USA at an astounding pace right?
You do realize it would have been cheaper for Mexico to PAY for the wall than to call out their army to keep out illegals and protect America from your kin?
Right.
You do realize that your a bad troll right?
You do realize that even the left agrees that Trump has cut immigration to this country so drastically that it is now below authorized levels even with the few that manage to sneak into the USA?
You do realize this right?
For Context.
