They will lose again in 2020.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-47462492198523642492019-02-08T09:09:12.534-05:002019-02-08T09:09:12.534-05:00Yup, Mike.

Ocasio-Cortez...The headline is a little misleading. Ocasio-Cortez turned down the seat: <br /><br /><i>The Democratic Representative said that she was offered a seat by Pelosi on the special committee on climate change but she turned it down to focus on the so-called “Green New Deal” that she and Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey unveiled on Thursday, the New York Post reported.</i><br /><br />Pelosi is of course trying to bury it, but she isn't dumb enough to not offer the seat.<br /><br />I like the way AOC turned Pelosi's snide dig around:<br /><br />Pelosi:<i>“It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive. The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it, right?”</i> <br /><br />Ocasio-Cortez said that her plan is a “green dream” indeed and that she and Pelosi are “in this together, we are 100 percent in this together.”Calgacushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031818010224747000noreply@blogger.com
