The congresscritters Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Beto O'Rourke have been steadily gaslighting people that the world is going to end in 12 years. They were deadly serious in the delivery of their warnings. However, they took so much flack from not just the alt-right and the right, but also the Democrats slammed it as a sham. The Senate rejected the deal 57-0. Since that humiliation and the way she's been thoroughly flamed by almost everyone, she's had to take two steps back in her chicken little claims about the falling sky. Such an excellent and thorough article, it boggles my mind the amount of research it must have taken you. Let's just say, that I can't say I didn't submit it to the Drudge Report in a small hope that Matt Drudge will give it a read.

AOC's recant: This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and "fact check" it. Like the "world ending in 12 years" thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal. But the GOP is basically Dwight from The Office so who knows.

She is that sea sponge, or should at the
very least consider wearing one, forever.
