U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., defended the Green New Deal
after the recent rollout of the New York Democrat's policy proposal got a
lot of attention over “farting cows.”

In an appearance Thursday night on the premiere of Showtime's late-night
“Desus & Mero" show, the comedy pair hosts of the program asked the
freshman congresswoman why she thought the initial reaction focused on
"cow farts."

“In the deal, what we talk about, and it’s true, is that we need to take a
look at factory farming, you know? Period. It’s wild,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“And so it’s not to say you get rid of agriculture, it’s not to say we’re
gonna force everybody to go vegan or anything crazy like that. But it’s to
say, ‘Listen, we gotta address factory farming. Maybe we shouldn’t be
eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Like, let’s keep it
real.”

"Listen, we gotta address factory farming. Maybe we shouldn’t be eating a
hamburger for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Like, let’s keep it real."

GREEN NEW DEAL'S INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN COULD COST TRILLIONS

“Slow down,” co-host Desus Nice joked.

“But we have to take a look at everything," Ocasio-Cortez continued, "and
what we need to realize about climate change is about every choice that we
make in our lives, you know?"

Green New Deal's problematic proposal for agricultureVideo
On the original FAQ page for the Green New Deal's rollout, Ocasio-Cortez
and other Democrats backing the plan had explained why the proposal
included the goal of “net zero” greenhouse gases in 10 years.

“We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years
because we aren't sure that we'll be able to fully get rid of farting cows
and airplanes that fast,” the page said.

But after the FAQ page was widely mocked, the Democratic lawmakers took it
down.

Also on Thursday's show, the Democratic socialist also defended her call
for a 70 percent marginal tax rate on incomes over $10 million, which she
said represented a “pretty good year.”

“It really comes down to the question of, ‘Isn’t $10 million enough?’
Like, when does it stop?” she asked. “At what point is it amoral that
we’re building Jeff Bezos a helipad when we have the most amount of
homeless people in New York City?”

Like Ocasio-Cortez, Desus Nice (aka Daniel Baker) and partner The Kid Mero
(aka Joel Martinez) hail from the Bronx, N.Y.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
