As we told you last night, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was trying to hold the MTA accountable for the subway problems that were compounded because of a July heatwave made things more uncomfortable for commuters. Earlier in the week there were storms that partially flooded some subway stations in NYC.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blamed — you guessed it — the “climate crisis”:
This is what the climate crisis is doing, and will do, to American infrastructure.
This is why we need a #GreenNewDeal that invests in a solution on the scale of the problem – and can help our nation transition, adjust, and prevent further damage in the climate crisis. https://t.co/4LjwWtJjD6

Is there anything the Green New Deal won’t accomplish?
BREAKING: @aoc says the #GreenNewDeal will end flooding! https://t.co/Cu87QelpYG

Because subway stations never flooded before industrialization. Look it up! *Eye roll*
In AOC’s district:
Unemployment is nearly 3x the national average.
Median income is 20% lower than the national average.
In 2018, only 2% of her district actually voted for her.That she is still babbling about a bill even her own party wouldn’t vote on speaks volumes.

But priorities!
This has NOTHING to do with a “climate crisis” you dolt. It has to do with chronic fiscal mismanagement of the local government. https://t.co/8AW3uOM75D

Climate alarmists reserve the right to use weather as proof of climate change. When others do this to give counterexapmles, they screech "WEATHER IS NOT CLIMATE!" https://t.co/SfnPjkQxk6

It's just a storm, dumbass, and your CoS admits the #GreenNewDeal isn't about climate. It's about control. https://t.co/0Cux4M3HQz
