Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is well-known for her polarizing Twitter persona. But one recent tweet was especially ludicrous, in which she wrote: “ … the GOP climate agenda is about as fictional as Spaceballs anyway.”

Are are many of Ocasio-Cortez’s claims about climate change, this is false. But sadly, it’s a view shared by many voters. If Republicans want to hold the White House, keep the Senate, and take back the House of Representatives in November, they need to stop hemorrhaging support from suburban voters, women, and young people. Lucky for the GOP, Democrats such as Ocasio-Cortez are squandering their hold on climate change, one of the key issues these voters care about.
