AOC Attacks GOP Rep. After Climate Activist Refuses To Answer Simple Question

ocasio-cortez hearingAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a vapid, histrionic, and hysterical leftist who has developed a cult following because she’s photogenic, nobody dares criticize a leftist woman nowadays, and her supporters are equally vapid, histrionic, and hysterical.

This adulation has gone to her head.

On Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez was so hopped up on her arrogance that she defamed a congressman twice her age for allegedly yelling at a witness when, in fact, the witness yelled at him.

Ocasio-Cortez is way too big for her britches and is due a serious comeuppance.

It started when Raya Salter appeared before the House Oversight Committee for a hearing the Democrats had called regarding Big Oil’s many sins regarding the “climate crisis” that justifies so many Democrat excesses and abuses. Salter is a typical leftist.

The tell is that she thinks she is a plural (“she/they”), which already tips you off that you’re dealing with someone who, rather than learning how to cope with life’s difficulties, identifies as a member of a protected class.

Salter’s shtick is that fossil fuel is destroying the world and that big oil is generally evil and specifically racist. She boasts about having experience testifying before Congress.

Raya Salter

However, on Thursday, when Salter appeared to testify before the House Oversight Committee, it didn’t seem to occur to her that she might be on the receiving end of questioning that wasn’t merely adulatory and sycophantic.

The friction came in the form of Rep. Clay Higgins, a Republican congressman from Louisiana. After listening to Salter decry the evils of petrochemicals, Higgins pointed out that her life is completely dependent upon petrochemicals and asked her to explain undoing all that:

Everything you have – your clothes, your glasses, the car you got here on, your phone, the table you’re sitting at, the chair, the carpet under your feet—everything you’ve got is petrochemical product. What would you do with that? Tell the world.

Salter’s answer was non-responsive. She simply recited that petrochemicals are evil. Faced with this gibberish, Higgins tried again to tell her that, at least rhetorically, he was giving her the power to tell the world what she’d do with the problem of being dependent on petrochemicals.

Salter instead started yelling at him that petrochemicals are evil and killing Black people.

Higgins, maintaining an even tone of voice, tried again to get Salter to answer the question about the fact that everyone, including Salter herself, is dependent on petrochemicals.

Throughout, Higgins was good-natured, trying only to get Salter to answer the question, while Salter refused to answer the question and, instead, got steadily more aggressive against Higgins.

It truly was as if Salter never considered that someone might ask her a practical question or that she’d need to be prepared with an answer.

The leftist lunacy didn’t end there, though. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who’s half Higgins’s age, decided to leap into the fray.

Having just listened to Salter scream incoherently at Higgins about evil oil, Ocasio-Cortez defamed and insulted…Higgins:

I just want you to know that in the four years that I have sat on this committee I have never seen members of Congress, Republican or Democrat, disrespect a witness in the way that I have seen them disrespect you today.

Frankly, men who treat women like that in public, I fear how they treat them in private.

I would hope someone would issue an apology but because I don’t believe he will, I want to apologize to you… the people do not deserve to see that.

You can see the whole interplay here:

In the old days, one would say of someone like Ocasio-Cortez that she’s gotten too big for her britches. Her arrogance and sense of righteousness are utterly disconnected from her skills, values, intelligence, and moral decency.

    Confront the radicals with “common sense” , “make America great again”, “all lives matter”, “he/she/mankind”,
    you get a wet paper bag of histrionics. The precarious electricity situations in Europe and California are making headlines, and the Left feel threatened by accusations they’re responsible.
    Of all mankind’s inventions, I’ll pick three that stand out here. Money, the power grid, and the Internet. The Left is exploiting the internet to undermine the two things that make us prosperous. People who are eligible voters need to think harder, in their own interests, next election. Green energy is not ready for prime time.
    We’ll need fossil fuels and nuclear energy for generations to come. Conserve and enjoy.

    Unfortunately, environmental activists, most of their progressive politician supporters & media “enablers” have little to NO KNOWLEDGE of our domestic energy system or how anything (raelly) works.I have been commenting on the internet for over 15 years. One fundamental question these folks can’t answer is: “What clean, scalable, affordable & sustainable alternative do you recommend to REPLACE fossil fuels, the source of 80% of our domestic primary energy?”You will NEVER even get an attempt to answer that. You’ll either get a slogan like “100% renewables by X Date” or be accused of being an “industry shill.” This is my main criticism of the environmental left. Always the disciples of “NO.” NEVER, EVER a construction SOLUTION to the cjhallenge. So, rather than critically thinking about what the world would look like WITHOUT petrochemicals, you dodge the question & reframe it as a sexist, personal attack. WEAK…

      Randy, some ignorant leftist woman replied to me that the world would be 100% renewable by 2040 and for me to go get a cup of tea. I didn’t even bother to respond because people like her won’t listen to facts because they have none of their own.
