Today the House of Representatives passed the $1.7 trillion omnibus spend-a-palooza package, but not without a hell of a fight from Rep. Chip Roy.
Yesterday, Rep. Roy put together a lengthy list of the earmarks in the omnibus bill, and one of them is a “pet project” that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is involved with:
🚨$3,000,000 for “clean energy workforce development” at the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. This is an @RepAOC and @SenGillibrand pet project

Thank you for calling attention to my “pet project” of making New York State a global leader in combating climate change and creating tons of good, high-paying jobs for people in the process. I’m proud of it! 🌎🗽
What’s your pet project? Being a hater for a living? https://t.co/VkpBLQyNdu

Fast forward 24 hours and guess what happened next. Or, more accurately framed, guess what didn’t happen next:

As it turned out, AOC was the only House Democrat to vote no, right along with Rep. Roy.
AOC was for the omnibus before she was against it https://t.co/pdY17mjvCu
