AOC: I have ‘forced’ the GOP to end their ‘climate denial stance’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said Monday that she had successfully “forced” Republicans to take climate change seriously with the introduction of her Green New Deal.

“It’s true. The #GreenNewDeal, as much as GOP hiss, scream, storytell & cry about it, has forced even the most entrenched Tea Partiers into publicly abandoning their climate denial stance. The reason they’re so focused on discrediting the GND is because it’s a winning policy,” Ocasio-Cortez said on Twitter.
