Ocasio-Cortez: The Symbol for Liberal Hypocrisy

     We continue to hear the same things from liberal politicians: we must eliminate carbon emissions and fossil fuels in order to save the planet.  With different climate change reports coming out, it does seem that the planet has undergone changes, but no such changes that give our planet 12 more years in existence.  I usually reference Leonardo DiCaprio when discussing liberal hypocrisy as it relates to climate change.  DiCaprio has advocated for liberal policies that address climate change, yet he continues to use his private jet and energy-sucking mansions.  We now have a new face for this hypocrisy: Freshman Senator Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  

     Lately, Ocasio-Cortez has touted her Green New Deal, which strives to "convert the old, gray economy into a new, sustainable economy that is environmentally sound, economically viable and socially responsible."  On the surface, it sounds somewhat promising.  Yet the Green New Deal goes far beyond a transition to clean energy.  It will be the end of our nation with the shift to socialist policies that will allow Democrats to strictly increase the power of the government in all of our lives.  

     A New York Post article correctly details the hypocrisy of Ocasio-Cortez, but I will explain it further.  She has pursued the passage of this Green New Deal and advocated for clean energy policies, yet she has spent thousands of dollars to use planes and Ubers to travel around the country.  She even rode on Amtrak 18 times, while she advocates for high-speed rails. I find her response to the criticism quite comical. 

     Well, not exactly, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez.  The Post criticized you because you have contributed to the demise of the planet while you attack others for doing the exact same thing.
