While discussing the border crisis on “Your World” on Wednesday, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, ripped fellow freshman lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., for saying climate change is responsible for troubling conditions at the nation’s southern border.
“It’s news to me, I didn’t know the Green New Deal would also solve the border crisis,” Crenshaw told guest host Charles Payne.
“It’s pretty clear that [Democrats are] not taking this seriously at all. I mean listen the numbers speak for themselves. This is not due to climate change.”
The far-right loves to drum up fear & resistance to immigrants.
But have you ever noticed they never talk about what‘s causing people to flee their homes in the first place?
Perhaps that’s bc they’d be forced to confront 1 major factor fueling global migration:
Climate change. https://t.co/zyJzTjEgHt

“The far-right loves to drum up fear & resistance to immigrants,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Tuesday. “But have you ever noticed they never talk about what‘s causing people to flee their homes in the first place?
“Perhaps that’s bc they’d be forced to confront 1 major factor fueling global migration: Climate change.”
Ocasio-Cortez, the co-sponsor of the Green New Deal resolution, has been focused on addressing climate change since becoming a member of the House in January.
Crenshaw said Dems are using climate change as the answer to everything.
“Every immigrant who comes across has a different reason for wanting to come across but it certainly isn’t climate change and that’s just a ridiculous statement,” Crenshaw said.
“You know they’ve come to this point where they want to blame climate change for quite literally everything now, and sorry, but the Green New Deal is not going to solve that.”

Yesterday, Gus pointed out that Central Americans are fleeing failure. Yankees are fleeing failure, Californians, too. If they’re fleeing any kind of climate, it’s a bad business environment. Socialism kills opportunity.
Well at least the blame everything on Russia narrative is over .
Now it’s cow farts again . No AOC the crisis at the border is as a result of dim wit politicians who cannot put the public interest first . Citizens no what is happening and will vote accordingly .
Socialist countries have guaranteed most citizens a life of abject poverty
the kind the ECO -Anarchist Democrats are trying to foist on the USA .
Keep talking AOC as long as the Democrats don’t pull a Seth Rich on your parade .
