Nancy Pelosi wasted little time in mocking the “Green New Deal,” one of the major policy platforms touted by New York socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The so-called Green New Deal has been the crown jewel of Ocasio-Cortez’ radical new plan that will impose costly environmental regulations to the detriment of Americans businesses.
While the Democrat has been working for months on this signature effort, hoping against hope to prove she’s got the skill as a lawmaker to back up her empty-headed rhetoric, it took Pelosi all of two sentences to dismiss it as … empty-headed rhetoric.
The House Speaker tossed it on a pile of other proposals that the chamber may or may not get to someday, then mocked its name and those who support it.
“It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive,” Pelosi told Politico on Wednesday. “The green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it right?”
‘The Green Dream’ sounds more like a comic book superhero than an environmental platform.

The Green Dream
The only word missing from Pelosi’s insult would be ‘pipe,’ since Ocasio-Cortez’ plan amounts to little more than a ‘green pipe dream.’
Fox News reports that “the measure is currently in a form of a non-binding resolution — meaning even if it passes it won’t do anything.”
The plan itself also struggles from an inability to adhere to reality.
The Green Pipe Dream seeks to attain a goal of “net-zero greenhouse gas emissions through a fair and just transition for all communities and workers,” while allegedly focusing on an ill-defined impact on job creation, infrastructure investment, guarantees of clean water, healthy food and sustainable environment, along with a vague reference to “access to nature.”
Cost estimates for the proposal currently range in the trillions.
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, a possible independent candidate for president in 2020, has slammed Ocasio-Cortez’s proposals as borderline un-American.
Ocasio-Cortez is Super-Duper Excited
Despite Pelosi and a good portion of America snickering at Ocasio-Cortez and her little pipe dreams, the New York socialist remained upbeat about a resolution that won’t see the light of day.
Calling the reveal of her proposal a “big day,” Ocasio-Cortez could hardly contain herself.
“I’m so excited,” she said, before referencing the Green Pipe Dream as “a watershed moment” and “a new national social, industrial and economic mobilization on a scale not seen since World War II and the New Deal.”
The darling of the far-left has frequently referenced the need to address global warming – which she predicts will end the world in 12 years – as being akin to America fighting in World War II.
With that excitement in mind, Pelosi would later follow up her mockery of the deal by trying to walk the comments back.
“Quite frankly, I haven’t seen it, but I do know it’s enthusiastic and we welcome all the enthusiasm that is out there.”
This Green Deal was the brain ? child of 6 new graduates. But of course Occasional Cortex claims it for her own.
Sounds like Nazi-Nancy had a sanity attack; a moment where the fog of dementia was lifted to reveal a truth to her. I’m sure she’ll be back to her abnormal self before she changes her mind about funding for a wall. As for AOC: so stupid I cannot watch her. Every time she opens her mouth I anticipate a cringe-worthy moment and switch to a different news story. Usually, not less than an hour, later someone has sounded the alarm with a tweet or video that confirms I’ve dodged a bullet stemming from the absurdity that oft flows from mouth of the one and only, Asinine-Occasional-Cortex.
Just two prima donna’s trying to shove each other off the stage. May it continue. PC humour is an oxymoron.
AOC might be right on the 12 years time line. At the rate the U.S. is going, including allowing the killing of babies, especially at the time they could be or have been born, God might close the final chapter. He didn’t tolerate sacrificing babies to Molech so why should he condone the sacrificing of unborn, and now in some cases, born babies to “A Woman’s Right to Choose”.
How seriously low on the food chair are you if Nancy Pelosi is giving you a dose of reality?
12 years to the end of the world? Oh Boy, I hope I can get tickets to that!
Let’s give AOC the moron of the year award. Just call it (THE STUPID 💩AWARD)
Lets give this little spat between OC and Pelosi. Pelosi’s experience tells her America will never stand for such a dim witted plan. IQ wise they are still neck and neck.
Even Pelosi knows this will make things bad in 2020 for the rats.
If Cortez hair was blonde, I would most assuredly understand. I have always tried to understand federal government common sense, but the statements about eliminating commercial flights and the balance of the rest of her socialist fancies, one quickly reassesses the moment. These are people that are suppose to represent us. And it is really questionable. Hold on to your money–it will be redistributed very fast.
That is a the socialist programme. What’s new ?
OH BOY!!! Cat fight in the playground.
finally Pelosi got a set of man hood against her own, what will she do to the ones that are for the border barrier???
You really can’t help but wonder – how much better off the Democrat Party would be without both of these idiots – and Schemer – Warren – Waters -Schiff – Harris – and and and ………
The demorats could greatly benefit from removing all of the idiots and the socialist.
You have to be pretty bad, for piglosi to slam you.
