Democratic-Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised eyebrows across the country Monday morning; bizarrely posting recipes for “Cocktails for the Revolution” on social media.
“Cocktails for the Revolution: – World w/o a #GreenNewDeal: a Bitter Dark n’ Stormy – Clean transport: an Aviation, but hold the crème de violette – Bridges, Not Walls: a Mezcal Greyhound – Paid Parental Leave: Mocktail margarita – Policy Failure: anything w/ Goldschläger,” she wrote on social media.
Cocktails for the Revolution:
– World w/o a #GreenNewDeal: a Bitter Dark n’ Stormy
– Clean transport: an Aviation, but hold the crème de violette
– Bridges, Not Walls: a Mezcal Greyhound
– Paid Parental Leave: Mocktail margarita
– Policy Failure: anything w/ Goldschläger— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) February 11, 2019
Cortez’ post comes days after her ‘Green New Deal’ came under fire from Republicans and some Democrats; saying her proposal for universal healthcare, affordable housing, and economic “security” would cost the country trillions of dollars.
BOOKER GOES BERSERK: Explodes, Says ‘Green New Deal’ Same as FIGHTING NAZIS
Sen. Cory Booker doubled-down on Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’ ‘Green New Deal’ Friday; telling a crowd of supporters the fight against climate change is the same as those who fought against Nazi Germany during World War II.
“We have to deal with this, our planet is in peril. We need to be bold, that’s why I co-sponsored the resolution for the Green New Deal,” said Booker.
“We are a nation that has done impossible things before. We need to be bold again in America. When the planet has been imperiled in the past, who came forward to save earth from the scourge of Nazism? We came forward,” he added.
You can’t make this up.

CLIMATE CONFUSION: Sen. Warren Says ‘Green New Deal’ Will Prevent Future ‘Polar Vortexes’
Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren touted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ Green New Deal Thursday; saying the progressive proposal would help prevent future “polar vortexes” from occurring.
“Our children & grandchildren should grow up in a world where they can breathe the air & drink the water – and go outside without risking their lives in extreme temperatures. It’s time to protect our planet & pass a Green New Deal. #PolarVortex2019 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/31/us/weather-polar-vortex.html …” she tweeted.

Cortez and other left-wing legislators are poised to introduce the Green New Deal in the coming days; calling for a complete transition to renewable energy in 10 years, a universal jobs program, and Medicare for All.
