Rep. AOC says the biggest mistake she's made in her first four months as a congresswoman was how the rollout of the 'Green New Deal' was handled. 'It was done in a way that it was easy to hijack the narrative around it. It was too fast.'
"It was done in a way that it was easy to hijack the narrative around it," Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast"Skullduggery" on Sunday."It was too fast."
In February, Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., introduced the wide-ranging proposal at a news conference on Capitol Hill, where she called it a"first step" in defining an urgent environmental crisis facing the United States. Conservative critics, including President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, were quick to mock the plan and its 29-year-old champion.
Last month, the Green New Deal failed in the Senate after Republicans, led by McConnell, pushed for a vote. Ocasio-Cortez called the resolution itself"very solid," but conceded that competing documents — including an erroneous FAQ — were rolled out prematurely and"muddied" the messaging surrounding it.Trump falsely said the Green New Deal would"permanently eliminate" all planes and cars. "None of those things are in there," she said."It was just frustrating — intensely frustrating.""I feel like I'm fine-tuning," Ocasio-Cortez said.
