House Speaker Nancy Pelosi excluded Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York Democratic freshman who has made curbing climate change her number-one cause, from a special climate committee whose members were announced Thursday.
Pelosi said that Ocasio-Cortez declined a spot on the panel.
Pelosi, D-Calif., announced the appointments on the day Ocasio-Cortez unveiled her “Green New Deal” initiative aimed at ending the use of fossil fuels in America in the coming decades. The "Green New Deal" would transform the U.S. economy through a massive mobilization of resources by the government in order not just to reduce carbon emissions but also to alleviate income and wealth inequality.
Pelosi named Rep. Kathy Castor, D-Fla., to chair the panel as well as eight other Democrats.
AOC declined spot on new climate change committee
Rush predicted AOC would be taken down a peg (or even completely) someday by Pelosi.
Who knew this would happen so quickly?
Rush?
