AOC faults 'fossil fuel execs' for waist-high flooding in New York subway

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday faulted "fossil fuel execs" for waist-high flooding in a New York City subway station after a thunderstorm ripped through the boroughs.

Heavy rains and winds whipped through the tri-state area, initiating flash floods and bringing down trees in suburban neighborhoods.
The inclement weather hit the Northeast prior to the arrival of Tropical Storm Elsa, which previously battered Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and other East Coast states with winds that were between 45 and 65 mph. Elsa, downgraded from a Category 1 Hurricane on Tuesday, is projected to make landfall in parts of the Empire State on Friday morning.

Ocasio-Cortez used the weather emergency to promote her Green New Deal, a climate proposal that has been criticized as wasteful by conservatives and hailed by liberal lawmakers.

"'The Green New Deal, which is a blueprint to create millions of good jobs rebuilding infrastructure to stem climate change & protect vulnerable communities, is unrealistic,'" she wrote in response to a video of a woman wading through murky waters in a subway station. “'Instead we will do the adult thing, which is take orders from fossil fuel execs &make you swim to work.'"

Complete bullshit.  The subway flooded because the MTA is still coddling all those workers who want to stay home because they're all weepy about COVID-19.  No staff, nobody to jump in and get the pumps going, and nobody to drive the extra trains needed if one breaks down.  MTA maintenance is a joke even in the best of times.

This is due to union-supported grifters and AOC-type-leftist management, not fossil fuel executives.

How about blaming the guy in charge of the subway?  Maybe if he spent less time thinking about pizza, the subway wouldn't be flooded.

She knows it's BS, but she also knows her fanbois eat this s___ up.

I blame AOC's existence and stupidity on Global Worming!

Just another reason to get rid of cows that fart too much. Someone needs to blow in AOC's ear and give her a new set of brains.

If you are going to refresh her brains, she's gonna need those cows.

Sooner or later she has to run low...

AOC represents a kind of weapons-grade idiocy married to power lust.

Historically, it seems to emerge when a nation's dominant culture is no longer invested in reality, or interested in truth.

Oil companies have lifted many millions out of poverty around the world to enjoy a new standard of living.

And AOC wants to criminalize them for some New Yorkers wading through high water during a hurricane.

I do not think she understands how stupid she really sounds.

Remember....   this is the wench who touted epidemiological credentials because she won a High School Science Fair.

When democrats take over the spending goes through the roof, and the needless crisis-es due to government malfeasance goes through the roof too.  Remember Texas and the wind generator collapses last winter?

[txradioguy]

Squeaky Spice is what happens when you have low voter turnout in a deep blue congressional district in NYC.

That tends to make me think the state of science education is even worse than I had previously believed.

She should be asked if she feels so strongly about fossil fuels, blaming execs is just ecolunatic babble, has she eschewed the use of any product or conveyance that uses or relies on the use fossil fuels? If she's not willing to set an example by putting her money where her enormously large oral orifice is then it's just the typical braying of an ass. Speaking of which, I found a publicity shot of AOC and her squad mates. Not surprisingly none of them could keep their mouth shut long enough to take a picture.

   She doesn't look the type that would wear pantyhose anyway choosing instead to go commando. 

   O/T Ya think I could get away with a Poll Question 'Do you wear panties?'

[LegalAmerican]

Why does anyone, even post her idiocy?  Don't give her press.

[LMAO]

Because this isn't some has been celebrity trying to get noticed.  This is someone who now controls the direction of one of the two major parties

She's one of the flyers which determines the size of the grouping. With that, anything halfway to the bullseye can be seen as "reasonable" and a "compromise".

It's a tactic the GOP could have long been using, if it didn't spend its time purging itself of its more Constitutionally oriented members. Instead, it has traditionally eschewed its more "radical" members and dealt from moderate positions, guaranteeing it will give ground on on the status quo in any compromise.

It might be embarrassing for some of the men.

Really? Yeah I guess that would be better then 'Only when I feel really sexy'.
