Ocasio-Cortez, a 29-year-old progressive, has been covered extensively by the media since upsetting Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.) in a primary last year. That has led to attacks against her, including by conservative commentators.

The freshman representative released her proposal for a Green New Deal on Thursday, which has been ridiculed by some conservative outlets.
