Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC): Republican Matt Gaetz’s climate change proposal is 'weak' and 'lame'
Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat from New York and co-sponsor of the Green New Deal, maintains confidence that House Democratic leadership will push forward with some of the measures outlined in her ambitious climate change proposal, she told Newsweek Wednesday.
A draft copy of Gaetz’s resolution obtained by Politico last month acknowledged the threats posed by climate change and said that the government should take actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it stopped short of setting specific targets.

“A young bartender, wonderful young woman, the Green New Deal. The first time I heard it, I said, ‘That's the craziest thing,’” Trump added, but then told Republicans not to kill the proposal just yet. “Don't kill it because we want to be able to run against it. If they beat me with the Green New Deal, I deserve to lose.”
Even though House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has established the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis and has said addressing climate change will be a focus for House Democrats, leadership has showed little willingness to consider the Green New Deal in its entirety.
