The Biden White House recruited socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to campaign with the 81-year-old puppet president in Virginia, where the two were seen holding hands and chumming it up in the woods.

Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) also joined Biden and AOC for an Earth Day commemoration on Monday at the Prince William Forest Park in Triangle.

“This president is overseeing the single biggest federal investment in tackling the climate crisis in our nation’s history,” Ocasio-Cortez said ahead of Biden’s remarks.

Biden unveiled $7 billion in new grants for solar projects and urged young people to sign up for the American Climate Corps, a new program aimed at training enrollees for work in green energy jobs.

“Today’s announcement builds upon an unprecedented historic action we’ve already taken to tackle the climate crisis, to live environmental justice, and build a clean energy future,” he said.

Following their speeches, AOC and Biden were seen strolling through the park holding hands in a bizarre political display of comradery.
