Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacked the New York Post Sunday over a cover story labeling her a hypocrite with regard to green energy.
“ECO-TRIP,” the headline blared in all capital letters, and the sub-headline was equally damning.
“Gas-guzzling car rides expose AOC’s green hypocrisy,” it read.
Ocasio-Cortez fired back on Twitter, saying, “The Post put the fact that I get into cars (while proposing a plan to invest in better car technology) on their front page. Pack it up folks, the Pulitzer’s been decided. No one can rival this kind of hard-hitting journalism.”
But for those who looked past the headline and read the article, it was clear that the Post was not simply attacking the freshman congresswoman for using fossil fuels. Rather, the article was making the point that she was eschewing greener options to do so.
Since declaring her candidacy in May 2017, Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign heavily relied on those combustible-engine cars — even though a subway station was just 138 feet from her Elmhurst campaign office.
She listed 1,049 transactions for Uber, Lyft, Juno and other car services, federal filings show. The campaign had 505 Uber expenses alone.
In all, Ocasio-Cortez spent $29,365.70 on those emissions-spewing vehicles, along with car and van rentals — even though her Queens HQ was a one-minute walk to the 7 train.
Ocasio-Cortez attempted to justify her less-than-green existence by claiming that she was just “living in the world as it is,” and that was not “an argument against working toward a better future.”
However, if the Green New Deal is adopted entirely as it was originally introduced, that “better future” would include a Hawaii with virtually no access to the mainland United States, much less the rest of the world. And that’s just the beginning.

Looks like the New York Post unlike the liberal rag the NYT’s is printing the truth and i mean the bitter truth about another liberal Eco-Wacko Do As I Say Not As I Do Liberal Hypotcrite and she is not the only Eco-Wacko hypotcrite Hollywood is full of these types like the ones who attend their dumb award shows in their gas guzzling Limos and call for Gun Control while they are protected by armed guards and the LAPD
AOC didn’t use the subway because cars are more convenient, faster.
But these intellectual geniuses want all the rest of us to use transportation and live our lives that is inefficient and inconvenient, while they motor and jet their way into their leadership roles. Kind of an inconvenient truth there, isn’t it?
She has become a lightning rod and would probably not be safe on public transit although the Seth Rich treatment from Democrats is likely more of a risk .
