Adviser to AOC admits he lied to Tucker Carlson

A top adviser of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez  [aka AOC; aka Alexandria Obvioso-Communista] the congresswoman from New York, finally admitted that he lied about the Green New Deal.

Robert Hockett originally said that the GND did not promise an income for those "unwilling" to work, but in fact it did. He finally admitted that an official "Green New Deal" document posted by Ocasio-Cortez's office contained a guarantee of economic security even for those "unwilling to work" -- but not before he went viral in progressive circles for claiming the exact opposite, repeatedly, in an interview with Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

Cornell University Law School Professor Robert Hockett, who counsels Ocasio-Cortez on environmental initiatives, and needs to retake an ethics course, challenged Carlson when he quoted from an outline and list of "frequently asked questions" (FAQ) that had been posted on Ocasio-Cortez's official website. The FAQ was also shared with NPR. 

[You can see the Tucker Carlson video on the first link I post above.]

The FAQ stated that the program will provide "Economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work," and also noted, "We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast."

How fast? That fast. Flatulent cows? Farting cows. How many trees? Lots of trees. Where would you place charging stations for electric cars once you get rid of the gas-driven cars? All over.

Stepford wives
This is the kind of wording you'd expect in a junior high school.

The FAQ, which is still available on NPR's website, also stated, "This is a massive transformation of our society with clear goals and timeline." In another section, the FAQ said that it had set a goal of net-zero, rather than zero, national emissions in 10 years “because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.”

Over the weekend, Saikat Chakrabarti, AOC's chief of staff, seemingly confirmed that the FAQ shared with NPR and posted on her website was genuine. Metadata from the document posted by NPR confirmed that Chakrabarti was listed as one of the authors of the FAQ. His language skills only rival the economic insights of AOC.

So now along with babies, cows will also be eliminated. Delightful.

“It appears there was more than one document being discussed yesterday, only one of which I had heard about with any definiteness by last evening after a long day of media appearances – namely, the one referred to by the Congresswoman in her tweet,” Hockett wrote. “I regret that we seem unknowingly to have ended up speaking about different documents for a minute during our longer and otherwise ‘on-the-same-page’ conversation last night.”

Bull crap--he knows exactly what happened--he lied.

For her part, Alexandria Obviosa-Communista blamed Republicans for attacking her. She plays the part of the victim almost as well as Cory Booker plays Spartacus.


I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
