Um...no. AOC makes plenty of stupid posts. Now she's saying that her Henny Penny-like "The world is ending in 12 years" tweet was obviously "satire," and that people on the right owned themselves by proving they can't understand a joke. Now, if you're serious about Climate Change, I could believe "hyperbole," but "satire"? Seriously? If you're trying to sell something as sweeping as The Green New Deal, you don't do it with satire. But that's AOC for you. And I have zero idea what Fox News had to say about it. I rarely watch the channel.
For my money, people on the right should just ignore AOC. Completely. Let her rave in the corner and say inane things and let the other media run with it, and the vast field of Democrat candidates comment on it as if it actually makes sense. But conservatives should just ignore her. She's doing what Trump taught people to do so well -- she says something outrageous; the media comments on it; and once again she's seen as the most important person in the House of Representatives. Ignore her and it takes away her power. Then she learns what every Representative learns -- you're easy to primary if the people feel you're more interested in promoting yourself than promoting the interests of your constituency. And at the moment, she's more interested in promoting herself.
