During a press conference at the National Mall discussing a relaunch of the leftist Green New Deal, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tried to make the case that climate change contributed to racial injustice in America.
“The Green New Deal also importantly recognizes the systemic cause of climate change,” AOC said, “because while climate change is a planetary crisis… it does not have a random or environmental genesis. It’s not just human caused, it’s societally caused.”
“The climate crisis is a crisis born of injustice and it is a crisis born of the pursuit of profit of any and all ecological cost,” she continued, adding, “which means that we must recognize in legislation that the trampling of indigenous rights is a cause of climate change. The trampling of racial justice is a cause of climate change.”
Elsewhere in her speech, AOC admitted a goal of the Green New Deal would be to produce a “100% carbon-free economy,” which would move the country away from oil and gas at a price tag of approximately $93 TRILLION — roughly equal $600K per household.
Ocasio-Cortez’s promotion of the Marxist utopia comes as she was spotted digging through a trash bin in a DC park maskless, despite her promotion of face masks on social media.
