Ocasio-Cortez recants with insult: I Was Joking About World Ending In 12 Years, and you’re an idiot if you believed me
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said that she was joking around when she claimed the world was going to end in 12 years if we do not take serious action against Climate Change, a declaration she’s been widely criticized over. The 29-year-old socialist mocked the Republican Party for taking her claim about the end of the world seriously, which she suggested was a combination of “dry humor + sarcasm.”
AOC in a tweet published on Mother’s Day:
She looked dead serious to me when she first said it:

To be fair to AOC, the truth is that she said we have only about 12 years left TO GET SERIOUS about climate or we are doomed.
Still batsh!t crazy…but she did not say the end of the world was only 12 years away.
Always remember you can add “We’re all gonna die!” to any string of true statements and not change not change the truth value of the combined statement. If people infer a relationship within the statements that’s not my fault.
“The Climate is changing! We’re all gonna die!” “The Sky is Blue! We’re All Gonna Die!” AOC is a member of Congress. We’re all gonna die!” etc.
See all true statements.
So the GND was a joke too, right?
Just like climate alarmism?
The world ending in 12 years is a joke no matter who says it. Some people don’t get it and you have to explain it to them. Like AOC and Greta. You can’t protect these people from themselves.
In AOC’s defense, I always did take that “12 year” comment as a rhetorical flourish, not a serious forecast.
Having said that, she is rather loose with these rhetorical flourishes, and it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. Or perhaps there is no wheat in her comments at all. I’m thinking she made a bet with a friend a few years ago, and her political career is all just one big goof.
The insults heaped upon AOC (however bad her insights and policy ideas) here is on a par with what I get on climate activist’s blogs with their rants against “denialists”.
I’m disappointed!
Another faux concern troll raises it’s mangy head. It’s too common to be a disappointment!
Another unjustified insult. Thus you sink to the same level as the likes of climate activists who can/will not debate issues but try to silence dissenting views by insult and suppression of voices.
It’s not an insult when it’s true. Your concern trolling is entirely transparent and isn’t anything this site hasn’t seen before. But do keep on concern trolling, it’s always good for a laugh.
I’ll let you have the last word.
Any one caring to read this exchange may judge whose behavior is more troll like.
Gasp. That moment when AOC realized how stupid she sounded.
AOC’s (and many others) sayings and doings are proof that totally braindead doesn’t necessary mean that one is dead…
I shouldn’t throw rocks, sitting in a glass house – living in Sweden – but one has to question from where do all these morons come from? And why the f**k do they get attention in media? Sweden IS going down the drain in a pace one cannot believe and yet ‘our’ politicians repeatedly ‘guarantee’ that everything is ok…
Skip Your poss. plans of coming to this country for (at least) the next 2-4 decades, we’re heading for some extremely tough/rough times.

The take away from this is, AOC is not cut out for the stand up comedy circuit.
Report from Berlin (German Association of Employers) – no-one believes in the Great Energy Transformation, but only behind closed-doors because of MSM attacks. This is after major damage done!
AOC must have heard something.
Recanting is one thing , accountability is quite another!
Over at NTZ, full report.
I wonder what other “dry humor” pronouncements AOC has made … GND ?
Other instances of jokes going bad:
What did you expect from the Late Night Comedy Party.
I think she owes Greta Thunberg an apology for calling her a fool.
Am I the only one who thought about the case ofthe cult lwader, who led his followers upon a hill top, where they would be rescued by space aliens?
If only the rest of the climate crusades and play time socialism could be resolved and admitted this fast. The policy world and media would be a safer place.
I am with Mr. Watts. I saw her proposal of the Green New Deal as a real platform for her. However, I can also see the other side.That is, by AOC making her own “deplorable” statement like this, she shows that she is the joke and those that vote for her are the punch line.
It was a “joke ” ? No it was an audition for CNN .
The Democrats don’t think her mouthing off is a joke .
No other person , except communist fan Bernie , has inflicted so much damage on the Democrats .
Keep talking and “joking” AOC . The best campaign money the Republicans never spent .
Isn’t everything she says a joke ? She will be on CNN as a Madcow replacement soon .
So now the imbecile claims it was humor, huh? Well, she said it in numerous video interviews and each time she was serious as a heart attack. So not only is she a moron, she’s a liar too.
I heard AOC is giving up on dry humor…

In the socialist world :
Global warming becomes Climate Change and bald face lying becomes joking .
Watching her rant it didn’t seem anyone got her “joke ” .
If only Amazon was smart enough to know AOC has such a wicked sense of humor .
Actually, she’s the joke!
