President Trump unloaded on Senate Democrats during a fiery address to Republican supporters this week; accusing the senior lawmakers of being “petrified” of recently sworn-in Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her ‘Green New Deal.’
“You have Senators that are professionals…That have been there for a long time, white hair…and they’re standing behind her and they’re shaking, they’re petrified of her,” said Trump at the NRCC convention.

The ‘Green New Deal’ was brought to full vote in the US Senate by GOP Leader Mitch McConnell last week; failing to secure a single “Yes” vote as virtually all Democratic lawmakers simply voted “present.”
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.
