Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Thursday reignited what has come to be a semi-routine feud with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on social media, fuming over his criticism of President Biden’s decision to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement.
Biden signed a flurry of executive orders on his first day in office, which included the commitment to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord.
Former President Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement during his term, informing the United Nations in November 2019, although it did not formally go into effect until November 2020.
“By signing this order, President Biden indicates that he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh,” Cruz said in a statement, adding that rejoining the Paris agreement “isn’t about ‘restoring America’s leadership abroad’ or ‘solving the climate crisis,’ but instead it is about Democrats’ plans to destroy jobs they don’t like – including thousands of manufacturing jobs – and cede control of our energy future to other countries.”
Who do you stand with? Paris or Pittsburgh?

Cruz argued that Biden’s recommitment to the agreement would be used to justify “a whole litany of new executive actions and burdensome federal regulations to shape our energy and environmental policy – which will burden American families, manufacturers, and businesses with higher energy costs at a time when they are already struggling.”
The Texas senator added that the U.S. has led the world in reducing emissions without the agreement, “dramatically” reducing the levels of “some of the most harmful pollutants and improved the air quality for all Americans, while at the same time helping more people get better-paying jobs and improving their lives” over the last 50 years.
Ocasio-Cortez, a champion of the far left’s Green New Deal, blasted the Texas Republican, whom she has recently called to resign, once again accusing him of attempting to undermine the election and inciting an insurrection against the U.S.:
Nice tweet Sen. Cruz! Quick question: do you also believe the Geneva Convention was about the views of the citizens of Geneva?
Asking for everyone who believes US Senators should be competent and not undermine our elections to incite insurrection against the United States https://t.co/mMf8iDo72G

Cruz also received backlash from actor Seth Rogen, who told the “fascist” senator to “fuck off”.
Fuck off you fascist.

The New York lawmaker celebrated the inauguration of Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday, listing “healing our planet” as one of the central objectives that Democrats must begin pursing in the Biden era.

Anytime this nitwit complains, you know that someone is doing the right thing.
Looks like a total idiot that’s because like all Liberal Democrat she is a idiot the Paris Accord should be run through a Paper Shredder along with all the UN Treaties before the Dem-O-Rats do the same with our own U.S. Constitution
Does AOC believe the US constitution was about the people of the US?
Or the UN?

From Pesticides to Rain Forests the entire modern enviromental movement is based upon Lies and Junk Science now we add Global Warming into it all and we have Global Government all run by the UN
If you haven’t realized it by now, there is no “fight against climate change”. The fight is against you and me, against our liberty, wealth and independence from the heavy hand of government control. Globalists are marching toward control of every aspect of our lives, doesn’t that make you happy? It should scare the hell out of you!
