Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a major champion of the Green New Deal, claims that the GOP is “wasting the American people’s time” by allowing a vote to take place.
“The GOP’s whole game of wasting votes in Congress to target others ‘on the record,’ for [legislation] they have no intent to pass, is a disgrace. Stop wasting the American peoples’ time [and] learn to govern. Our jobs aren’t for campaigning and that’s exactly what these bluff-votes are for.”
Attacks on the Green New Deal
The Green New Deal is widely regarded as radically far-left by many individuals. Furthermore, the legislation has called for a ban on air travel and gas-fueled cars.
One of the most contentious points of all called for providing economic aid to people that are “unwilling” to work. This also did not sit well with Republicans who tend to value hard work and keeping the fruits of one’s labor.
Additional updates about the vote on the Green New Deal will follow on USA Herald.
