'AOC has completely lost her marbles,' National Review columnist Katherine Timpf said on Fox News Saturday. 'Like, are you sure that the Green New Deal’s not what you’re putting in your pipe and smoking every day?'
A pundit on Fox News’ The Greg Gutfeld Show blasted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Green New Deal in an expletive-laden rant on Saturday.
The journalist was referring to a speech Ocasio-Cortez made at a recent “Girls who Code” event in New York City. Describing past experiences with impostor syndrome, Ocasio-Cortez explained the importance of trying to succeed in the face of adversity. Timpf continued to blast the comments in a tirade lasting more than a minute. “I can come up with plenty of plans that don’t work. How about we fly around on unicorns instead of airplanes? How about instead of gasoline we use fairy dust we get from Tinkerbell?”
Timpf’s comments echoed an article she wrote for National Review Online Tuesday, in which she called Ocasio-Cortez “ridiculous” and said her plan was so impractical she might as well have put forward “nothing at all.”
