AOC Demands: No Climate Change Money in Spending Package ‘We Will Tank’ Infrastructure Bill

Penny Starr 16 Jul 2021

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Thursday if Democrats do not pass a reconciliation spending packing that includes far-left provisions like money for fighting so-called climate change, she and other “progressives” will “tank” the Democrat infrastructure bill.

It is not clear if Ocasio-Cortez’s pledge is necessary given that, to date, no legislation has been introduced for either proposal.

It is also not clear that the infrastructure bill is bipartisan since no Republican has yet committed to unseen legislation.

Ocasio-Cortez also said it is necessary to use reconciliation to cram the spending package through the Senate without GOP support.

“House progressives are standing up,” Ocasio-Cortez said, according to a Bloomberg News report on a town hall she attended. “We will tank the bipartisan infrastructure bill unless we will also pass the reconciliation bill.”
