.AOC takes new shot at Joe Biden's 'unacceptable' climate change plan
Progressive Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continued to criticize 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s forthcoming climate change plan on Monday, saying the “middle ground approach” is “unacceptable.”
“This is why a ‘middle ground’ approach to our climate crisis is unacceptable,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “This isn’t like other issues where you can pretend you’re a sober adult by cutting the difference between left and right. You’re either fighting for our future or you’re not.” Reuters that day reported, based on two sources, that Biden was “crafting a climate change policy he hopes will appeal to both environmentalists and the blue-collar voters who elected Donald Trump” and was “carving out a middle ground approach that will likely face heavy resistance from green activists.”“There is no ‘middle ground’ w/ climate denial & delay,” the freshman congresswoman tweeted. “Blaming ‘blue collar’ Americans as the main opponents to bold climate policy is gas lobbyist 101.
“As president, Biden would enact a bold policy ... to tackle climate change in a meaningful and lasting way, and will be discussing the specifics of that plan in the near future,” Ducklo continued. “Any assertions otherwise are not accurate.”
