As Twitchy reported Wednesday, the Biden administration floated the idea of a ban on gas stoves in an interview with Bloomberg, then backtracked and said a ban was never under consideration. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thankfully chimed in with the (dubious) research saying gas stoves caused “reduced cognitive performance.” Conservatives had fun with the idea of a ban, Photoshopping gas stoves onto Gadsden flags and showing them as possible modifications to an AR-15. As the Washington Post reported, it was conservatives who had “thrust gas stoves … into the culture wars.”
Conservatives also liked pointing out that AOC has a gas stove in her apartment, giving some credence to the reduced cognitive performance theory. Incapable of leaving anything alone, AOC whipped up a video explaining that she rents an apartment that came with a gas stove. Also, “science evolves and gives us new knowledge with time.” That’s funny … Democrats are always the ones proclaiming “the science is settled.”

I think she's proving gas stoves cause brain damage. 🧠

Come on folks, she is speaking on experience. Look at what gas stoves have done to her cognitive abilities. Sure she may have been sleeping in a gas stove but…

Hey @AOC , why don't you buy new electric stoves for your landlord using all that magical tax credit money you speak of?

But the study that convinced her they need to be banned is complete bullshit.
A WEF company sponsored a bullshit study and suddenly all democrats were raging about stoves?
All in one day.
Pretty obvious what's going on.— Johnny Utah (@saigonandy1) January 12, 2023
As we pointed out Wednesday, one study linking gas stoves to childhood asthma was paid for by a company that removes gas lines from buildings. The Sierra Club also backed a study.
My God! This woman is stunningly stupid.

The saddest part of the whole thing is…. She’s too damn stupid to realize that no one is melting down, but mocking her

She is the absolute best at completely missing the point.https://t.co/uF5fvXPydy

And yes, it does matter that she uses a gas stove. As the pandemic taught us these people have no intention of making the sacrifices they demand from others.

I hope no one is taking their children to her apartment (gas stove or no). She is knowingly and irresponsibly putting their lives in danger.
— Chief Impact Officer BT (@back_ttys) January 12, 2023
As we said above, conservatives had fun with the whole thing, especially after the administration backtracked and said it wasn’t considering a ban. “You can take my gas stove when you can pry it from my cold, dead hands” is a joke … like AOC.
