During a Bernie Sanders rally in Coralville, Iowa, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), took to the stage to introduce Sanders before his remarks, and was sure quick to paint a broad brush over millions of Americans who disagree with her trillion-dollar ideas like the “Green New Deal.”
Cortez, when arguing for such proposals claimed that Americans “value war” more than they value radical socialist policies like tackling the fictitious “climate change” conspiracy theory, socialized medicine or “Medicare for all,” and free college for Americans and criminal aliens.
“It’s funny to me that when we talk about a green new deal, and people say to me ‘this is too ambitious. This is too big.’ It’s almost as if they can’t imagine doing anything else in our budget than war. It’s that they can’t imagine an America that values education as much as it values war, that values saving our planet as much as it values war. That — it’s almost like they can’t imagine a country that values saving our planet is more valuable than a Wall Street bank.”
Hilariously, it seems AOC seems to “value war” more than she’d like to admit, especially recently, where she lambasted President Trump for removing troops in northern Syria (which is the definition of withdrawing from foreign wars, which Trump actually campaigned on).
So, who is the real warmonger? Someone angry that troops are being removed from warzones, or someone who is actually ending endless wars?
