WE DARE YOU: Top GOP Lawmaker Calls on House Democrats to VOTE on ‘Green New Deal’

posted by Hannity Staff - 2.13.19

The third highest-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives urged her Democratic colleagues to hold a full vote on Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’ ‘Green New Deal’ Wednesday; saying liberal lawmakers need to be “held accountable.”

Rep. Liz Cheney -leader of the House Republicans Conference- dared left-wing legislators to go on the record regarding the massive government expansion proposal.

“We think Democrats need to be held accountable,” said Cheney. “If they support this as they say they do, and as their presidential candidates do, then let’s have a vote on it and see to what extent they’re all going to get behind moving toward this kind of fantasy.”

The GOP member went on to blast Cortez’ proposed legislation; saying the bill would “eliminate all planes, all air travel, within a decade. The results would be the elimination also of gasoline, the elimination of cars as we know them now.”

SENATE SABOTAGE? ‘New Deal’ Sponsor Says McConnell 'KILLING' MOVEMENT by Calling Vote

posted by Hannity Staff - 2.13.19

Democratic Sen. Ed Markey unloaded on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on social media Tuesday; directly accusing the GOP lawmaker of “sabotaging the movement” by calling for a full vote on his ‘Green New Deal.’

“Don’t let Mitch McConnell fool you: this is nothing but an attempt to sabotage the movement we are building. He wants to silence your voice so Republicans don’t have to explain why they are climate change deniers. McConnell wants this to be the end, this is just the beginning,” posted the ‘New Deal’ author.

“By rushing a vote on the #GreenNewDeal resolution, Republicans want to avoid a true national debate & kill our efforts to organize,” he added.
