US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has finally received some long-awaited feedback on her incredible GREEN NEW DEAL!

For clarity, the Green New Deal proposes that the US replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources like wind and solar power. In fact, it calls for an altogether elimination of all greenhouse gas emissions in the United States by 2030. It is expected to cost nearly $100 Trillion (yes, with a 'T'), or around $600,000 per family in the first 10 years alone. That's slightly more than the "crumbs" to which Nancy Pelosi referred, last year.

As it turns out, everyone treats the Green New Deal exactly the same as they treat Miss Ocasio-Cortez - as a complete joke.

On Tuesday, some Mormon guy stood on the Senate floor to denounce the "legislation":

The aspirations of the [Green New Deal] proposal have been called radical, they've been called extreme. But mostly - they're ridiculous.

CrimsonPledge has been able to positively identify this man as US Senator Mike Lee of Utah. We are also fairly sure that the pretty blonde woman photographed beside him is either his 8th wife or his 74th daughter.

The Green New Deal would have needed 60 votes in the Senate for debate to even begin. However, not a single senator voted "Yes". 57 Senators voted to dismiss the proposal altogether, including every Republican and several blue-dog Democrats and an Independent (no, not THAT Independent). The remaining senators voted "present".

Turtle-in-Chief, Mitch McConnell, had rushed the Green New Deal to the Senate floor to tie down Democrat Senators (including many 2020 US Presidential candidates) to concrete opinions on the sweeping socialist legislation.

Cocaine Mitch called the colorful proposal:

a radical, top-down, socialist makeover of the entire U.S. economy

If the Republican Senate Majority leader is willing to bring a token piece of Democrat legislation to the floor for debate, and literally no Democrats are willing to raise their hands in support of it - you know that NOBODY wants the Green New Deal.
