Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green Deal to fight climate change slammed by conservatives, termed 'brainless'

The youngest Congresswoman to be ever elected in the country unveiled the plan jointly with veteran Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts.
UPDATED FEB 8, 2019

New York Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is reportedly being criticized by conservatives for her "Green New Deal," which incorporates a set of goals the country needs to reach in an effort to combat climate change.

The youngest Congresswoman to be ever elected in the country unveiled the plan jointly with veteran Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts. The proposed policy aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in 10 years and create thousands of jobs in renewable energy.

However, shortly after the details of the plan became public, right-wing news outlets slammed the freshman lawmaker on Thursday by seizing on certain parts of the proposed plan. Many pointed out the Democrats' own acknowledgment of how it would be difficult to reach a zero-emission society in a decade because they "weren't sure if they could get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast," the Daily Mail reported.
