“Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was brutally mocked online on Tuesday after her “Green New Deal” failed to garner a single vote of support in the U.S. Senate, which led to the 29-year-old former bartender accusing people of not taking their jobs seriously.
Ocasio-Cortez’s proposal had 57 votes against it — with several Democrats even voting against it — while the remaining 43 Democrat Senators voted “present” because they did not want to on record for having supported the extremist proposal, which is estimated to cost $93 trillion.
Following the disastrous vote for Ocasio-Cortez, the young socialist took to Twitter to try to save face, declaring that she told her Democratic colleagues to not vote for the proposal.
“Because I encouraged them to vote present, along w/ others,” Ocasio-Cortez responded to Senator who asked why no Democrats voted for the proposal. “McConnell tried to rush the #GreenNewDeal straight to the floor without a hearing.”
