As we told you on Tuesday, the “Green New Deal,” which is co-sponsored by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Markey, was brought up for a vote in the Senate, and most Democrats only voted “present” rather than show support for saving the world from a fiery demise in less than 12 years (or something).
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who the Democrats have criticized for bringing their own resolution to a vote, noticed that the Left’s rhetoric is very different than their actual voting on the issue:

That was certainly something else, and the Dems were asking for it. Score a victory for Team Cocaine Mitch on this one!
