“She’s calling it the Green New Deal. Now, everything we have been saying about the new radical extreme Democratic Party — what they were hiding in 2018 — now it’s all in writing and it might be even worse than we thought,” Hannity began during a Thursday segment on his show.

“Just hours ago, Ocasio-Cortez put together one of the most dangerous, impractically misguided, economically guaranteed-to-be-devastating plans ever championed by any American politician,” Hannity continued, further saying that the plan, if ever passed, would be “guaranteed to fail and the results will be disastrous for the American people.”

“I promise you [that] you might be thinking this is fake news — it is not. This is a real proposal, real ideas from real lawmakers in the new radical extreme democratic socialist party of America, beyond dangerous, beyond scary,” Hannity said.

Ocasio-Cortez introduced her proposal on Thursday. The measure aims to create millions of “good, high-wage jobs” by striving for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

While the measure has met opposition from many Republicans, a number of 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls and potential candidates — including Sens.
