Ocasio-Cortez slams critics for 'privileged and removed-from-reality attitude' on climate change
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared in a MSNBC town hall on Friday and forcefully defended her Green New Deal and called climate change"our greatest existential threat."
Even some Democrats in Congress have sought to distance themselves from the Green New Deal. Republicans, meantime, are trying to turn the progressive plan into a wedge issue in the 2020 elections. According to Ocasio-Cortez, if the American voters end up making the plan a priority or show overwhelming support for it, then there's"political room to pass it."
"This issue is not just about our climate," said the 29-year-old lawmaker. She said there's"runaway income equality" and the economy isn't producing and innovating like it needs to be for the American people.
