President Donald Trump mocked freshmen Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during an event with Republican lawmakers on Tuesday night.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump mocked freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during an event with Republican lawmakers on Tuesday, telling the crowd that Democrats appear to be"petrified of her."
Trump continued by mocking the bill, which was defeated last week in the Senate, sarcastically calling it"a wonderful thing." Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., unveiled the Green New Deal in February after a government report warning of the drastic consequences of climate change. The proposal called not only for combating climate change by eliminating carbon emissions caused by fossil fuels and shifting the economy to one powered by renewable fuels but also prescribes a broad platform supporting free housing, medical coverage and higher education for all Americans.
