Throwing shade at Ocasio-Cortez.
Via Free Beacon:
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said in an interview published Wednesday the Green New Deal “goes beyond what our charge is” on climate change and has an agenda that is “not what we hope to achieve.”
Liberal magazine Rolling Stone asked Pelosi, a longtime advocate for action on climate change, about the resolution put forward by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and Sen. Ed Markey (D., Mass.). It seeks a dramatic overhaul of the U.S. economic and energy systems, along with a laundry list of progressive agenda items like guaranteed income and universal health care.
“Now, in terms of the Green New Deal [as conceived], that goes beyond what our charge is. Our charge is about saving the planet,” Pelosi said. “They have in there things like single-payer and … what is it? Guaranteed income?”
