Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now claiming that the flash flooding in DC today is only happening because….you guessed it, Climate Change:

Unprecedented flooding is quickly becoming a new normal. Despite that, Republicans are tripling down on fossil fuels w/no plan to transition off them, or make the critical infra investments we need to prep for the climate crisis. Each day of inaction puts more of us in danger. https://t.co/J8yqzguN5O — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 8, 2019

Climate change intensifies flooding, wildfires, & extreme weather. It’s more than 1 day or 1 storm; it’s all of them. Places are flooding where they haven’t before; there are 90-degree days in Alaska in June. The GOP will mock & sow confusion until it’s their home swept away. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 8, 2019

Sheesh, everything is an excuse for Climate Change with leftists like AOC.

If the streets flood in South Florida, or apparently DC, CLIMATE CHANGE! If there’s a tornado in Tornado Valley, CLIMATE CHANGE!







And she never explains how it is happening, just that it is.

Twitter quickly rained on her Climate Change parade:

Flooding has always been normal in DC. It is built on several major waterways — some of the city was originally underwater and was filled in prior to construction. It has everything to do with geographical location. https://t.co/0lXU9DcYgJ — Amber Athey (@amber_athey) July 8, 2019

Or it could be Washington DC is a low-lying city half-reclaimed from swamp. https://t.co/siV6BlSUQW — Gadfly With Me (@NathanWurtzel) July 8, 2019

First a tornado and now a flash flood. The Congresswoman does not miss an opportunity to turn a weather event she experiences into a political statement and blame Republicans. She’s right that cities need to invest in infrastructure but a slow-moving t-storm isn’t “climate” https://t.co/X4zoNP0lXW — Ryan (@RyanMaue) July 8, 2019

He’s exactly right. We had a slow-moving thunderstorm yesterday over our area and had flash flooding in some of the lower areas. Nothing to do with Climate Change whatsoever.

Here’s even a Climate Change believer putting the kibosh on AOC for this nonsense:
