As we told you earlier, Nancy Pelosi was asked about the so-called Green New Deal that’s backed by progressives in Congress such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the House Speaker dismissed the plan as a pie-in-the-sky “green dream.” However, Ocasio-Cortez is undaunted:

AOC says she isn’t offended Pelosi called the Green New Deal a green dream. “I don’t consider that to be a dismissive term. I think it’s a great term.” — Haley Byrd (@byrdinator) February 7, 2019

Pelosi’s not going to make the Green New Deal go away that easily!

You make Green New Deal lemonade:

Not everybody’s as optimistic about AOC’s chances with the Green New Deal as she seems to be.

She probably wouldn't be as thrilled with "Green Nightmare." Which is what it is. — Rand Simberg (@Rand_Simberg) February 7, 2019
