AOC Accuses Biden of a “Dangerous” Lurch to the Right!
Controversial progressive Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has some scathing criticism for President Biden, accusing him of a “lurch to the right” after he approved a massive oil drilling project, saying it was a “profound miscalculation” and “quite dangerous.”
Her comments come as the divide between progressives and more moderate members of the Democratic Party widens just as Biden has announced his bid for reelection.
AOC made the comments during an April interview where she was asked about Biden’s approval of the Willow Project, a 30-year oil drilling project in Alaska, and whether he should be challenged in a Democratic primary.
“This lurch to the Right at a time when the Right is scrambling and lost in the desert on how to even win an election after these stunning losses — I think it’s a profound miscalculation. And it is quite dangerous,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
The New York lawmaker also seemed to warn the president against forgetting “who it was that put him over the top” and added that some of the Biden administration’s latest moves were “highly concerning.”
She also predicted that the president’s recent dip in approval was due to the oil project.
Ocasio-Cortez, joined by Reps. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., Jared Huffman, D-Calif., and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., issued a statement criticizing Biden’s approval of the Willow Project.
“The Biden administration has committed to fighting climate change and advancing environmental justice—today’s decision to approve the Willow project fails to live up to those promises,” the statement said. “Their decision ignores … the irrefutable science that says we must stop building projects like this to slow the ever more devastating impacts of climate change.”
Ocasio-Cortez also criticized the president on immigration.
“I’m a major critic of the party. I think the Biden administration has been very disappointing on climate. In the first twenty-five months of the Trump presidency versus the first twenty-five months of the Biden presidency, Biden has authorized more fossil fuel permits. This is a serious issue. The Biden administration is failing on immigration as well, but that’s a separate conversation,” she said during the same interview.
Her rebuke of President Biden comes as rumors swirl that AOC has her sights on a Senate challenge to New York’s Democrat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in 2024.
Yep, Bill, I hit the nail right on the head this time.
Even before Biden was elected, it was pretty well-known that we would probably piss off the progressives at some point.
Dark Brandon rules. Stay the course; down the middle and a little to the left.
Why OAC gets so much “media” coverage is beyond me. She has the same I.Q. as kackeling Kamala. People who have no clue about communism should watch the movie Dr.Zhivago and see 30 families living in an old bureaucratic house who get nothing except what the state chooses to give them. This is Biden’s government. The “haves” MUST give to the “have nots”, except soon there will be no “haves” left to pay for all this.While Biden tools around in his Corvette, the rest of us will be under Martial Law riding bicycles. Looks like China today, no? Will AOC end up in the Politburo in Washington?
Simply stupid.
AOC should go BACK to BARTENDING . . . Not good for ANYTHING else.
If AOC wants to do something that is actually good for the environment, the economy and the world, she and her utterly useless Democrat colleagues should make a big deal about transforming electric grids to renewables and large scale storage battery systems. The technology already exists and the Government should do everything it can to accelerate its implementation. Huge deposits of lithium have been found in the U.S. and we are poised to demolish competition from China and the rest of the world and generate enormous amounts of wealth. If we don’t get rid of the bratty children running our government in 2024, we won’t be able to realize the full potential of all the newly found raw material deposits by 2030. If AOC and her climate change new green dealer cultists are serious about actually achieving REAL environmental justice, she will start gathering FACTS from VERIFIED industry leaders like TESLA and also release research from DARPA and reputable Universities in order to present to Congress and the Senate a FEASIBLE timeframe in which to greatly reduce the need for fossil fuels for generating electricity and driving cars. Of course, if their ultimate plan is reduce the U.S. to a mere slave of the WEF and U.N., then it’s even more critical that we boot globalist and Neocon politicians out of the U.S. Government by 2024 lest they FINISH US OFF for good. THAT is how AOC and the mythical climate change cult can make themselves useful for a change! C’mon AOC, do us all a favor and SPEAK UP!
If this woman is the future of politics in America, we’re f**ked because she definately isn’t the brightest bulb on the string.
