For Ocasio-Cortez and her enablers, standing on the corpses of all those who died at the hands of Nazism in order to score political points is an obscene desecration of those victims’ deaths and is. Auschwitz was a Nazi concentration camp used to massacre people, particularly Jewish people, during World War II. Ocasio-Cortez didn’t post this message. Ocasio-Cortez blasted Iowa representative Steve King Sunday after he asked her to visit the site of Nazi death camp Auschwitz with a Holocaust memorial group. Declining his invite, she pointed out. The Democrats’ latest heroine might not be quite the early Christmas present they had hoped for as scandal after scandal engulfs the newly elected Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). People are often judged according to those with whom they associate, and in the case of AOC’s Chief of Staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, the congresswoman-elect may well. Ocasio-Cortez then doubled down on her false claim that the United States operated concentration camps during World War II. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claims that it’s a “consensus” that she is correct about her “concentration camp” remarks and falsely claims that the United States operated concentration camps.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks out about the urgency to take on climate change

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks out about the urgency to take on climate change and compares it to World War II.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., spoke out on Monday about the urgency to take on climate change, comparing it to World War II.

Speaking at an event commemorating Martin Luther King Day, Ocasio-Cortez expressed how the issue of climate change is a “generational” issue that younger people are more focused on.

“Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like: ‘The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?' Ocasio-Cortez said.

The Democratic Socialist said the fight against climate change is war and that it’s “our World War II.”

While a steady stream of international reports have raised alarm about climate change, they stop markedly short of predicting the end of the world.

A widely publicized study last fall by a United Nations panel said the world should take “unprecedented” actions to cut carbon emissions in the next decade – this, to avoid rising past 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit above preindustrial levels.

In November, the White House released another report that found the impacts of climate change are being felt across the country, and “extreme weather and climate-related events” are going to worsen in the years to come -- with a significant impact on the economy.

The National Climate Assessment found that extreme weather disasters “ have already become more frequent, intense, widespread or of long duration and have cost the U.S. nearly $400 billion since 2015.”

Ocasio-Cortez has forged a reputation for making bold, at-times factually incomplete statements. She recently lashed out at fact-checkers, accusing those scrutinizing her statements of 'false equivalency' and 'bias,' before backing down on the criticism.

Ocasio-Cortez has made waves ever since she won the upset victory in New York against incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley, who was a top Democrat in Congress at the time. She is now the outspoken advocate of the Green New Deal, which is meant to address economic inequality and climate change.

Tyler O'Neil at PJ Media:

'So when we talk about existential threats, the last time we had a really major existential threat to this country was around World War II, so we’ve been here before, and we have a blueprint of doing this before,' Ocasio-Cortez began.

'What we had was an existential threat in the context of war,' the candidate added. 'And what we did was that we chose to mobilize our entire economy, and industrialize our entire economy, and we put hundreds of thousands if not millions of people to work in defending our shores and defending this country.'

Then came the kicker: 'We have to do the same thing in order to get us to 100 percent renewable energy

Was the last existential threat to America really the Nazis? I seem to remember the USSR pointing about 10,000 nuclear weapons at the US for 40 years. But that's OK - she's very young and her knowledge of history is deficient as far as anything that happened before she was born.

This is what happens when politicians must rely on talking points to discuss the issues. OC's knowledge of the climate change issue is depthless - not to mention a frightening ignorance about the economy.

According to Ocasio-Cortez, climate change is an existential threat, just like Nazi Germany was. Therefore, America has to rethink its entire economy. The government should nationalize entire industries, directing everything to the goal of 'renewable energy.'

In other words, 'war socialism' without the war. Ocasio-Cortez later admitted, 'It may seem, like, really big. It may seem very ambitious. It may seem very radical ... but we are dealing with a radical truth.'

Only the craziest, most radical greens are proposing what OC says we must do. A government takeover of the energy sector would be a disaster. Venezuela would like paradise in comparison, especially if, at the same time the government was trying to supply 300 million people with their energy needs, they try to force the economy to change over to 'renewable energy.'

Is OC ignorant because she's a socialist or is she a socialist because she's ignorant? I wouldn't want to make a living off the difference.
