Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says the “Farting Cows” blunder was not her fault.
AOC blames aide for ‘farting cows’ Green New Deal document
by Jerry Dunleavy
March 30, 2019 03:53 PMRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blamed an unnamed aide for the document that was sent out to the media and posted on her congressional website during the disastrous February rollout of her Green New Deal climate plan.

"I definitely had a staffer that had a very bad day at work," @AOC said in response to a question about her controversial #GreenNewDeal FAQ that mentioned "farting cows"

She labeled it a "working draft" that was released too early by said staffer.https://t.co/ea17ZG48nx pic.twitter.com/vLoHFt9faABut the rollout hit an immediate snag: a confusing six-page Green New Deal FAQ document that had also been sent to the media by Ocasio-Cortez’s office and posted on her website.
Among other things, it proposed providing “economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work” and called for “a full transition off fossil fuels and zero greenhouse gases.”
“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 Green New Deal FAQ document read.

Apparently proofreading isn’t a skill that progressive messiahs need bother learning otherwise the All Out Crazy one would have noticed she skipped a few words in that sentence
“One of these days, AOC,………..”
(Anybody else out there remember “The Honeymooners”?)
Heh, when I was making that post I was tempted to word it “To the moon, Alice!”

It is reasonable that she blamed others. She had very little to do with the write up of the grand green new deal resolution … others put together and handed it to her.
She Guevara … just a face. When she fails in politics maybe she will find other handlers and go off into the jungle and start murdering people.
Hmm … so is she saying that one of her interns (or higher) wasn’t worth $15 an hour?

Anonymous Staffer is a hero. (S)he should get a raise and a promotion. Hell – AOC should abdicate and Anonymous Staffer should replace AOC.
When all else fails, blame the minions, … until the TRUTH comes out. Ops.
Old V. Lenin and other socialist/commies once said: “A lie repeated enough will
eventually become the truth.”
A socialist is a communist with patience. The goal of socialism is communism.
It doesn’t get much simpler that that. Are you ready for the USSA ?!?! I’m NOT.
ammo up.
