| Green New Deal co-author gets HEAVILY MOCKED after he freaks out at McConnell for allowing floor vote! |
| 2019-02-13 |
| [Right Scoop] Senate Democrat Ed Markey, who co-authored the Green New Deal, attacked McConnell for allowing a floor vote on his new legislation: Don’t let Mitch McConnell fool you: this is nothing but an attempt to sabotage the movement we are building. He wants to silence your voice so Republicans don’t have to explain why they are climate change deniers. McConnell wants this to be the end, this is just the beginning. https://t.co/GUxJ5HG2jb ‐ Ed Markey (@SenMarkey) February 12, 2019 This isn't a new Republican trick. By rushing a vote on the #GreenNewDeal resolution, Republicans want to avoid a true national debate & kill our efforts to organize. We’re having the first national conversation on climate change in a decade. We can’t let Republicans sabotage it. ‐ Ed Markey (@SenMarkey) February 12, 2019 It’s kinda hilarious that Markey, who put forth the new radical legislation, is now angry because it’s actually getting a vote. I mean seriously, what kind of messed up logic is that? Many on Twitter sure thought it was hilarious and the mocking quickly began: |

| #4 He wanted to go into the 2020 elections saying the republicans refuse to even bring it up for a vote and instead it was called out for the foolishness it is right away. Brilliant Mitch, brilliant. Force them to vote for no cars or planes and see if any survive the next election. Force them to vote against the Dems green initiative and watch Republicans use that in their election campaigns. Win/Win, check and mate. |

| #3 It wasn't that long ago that Sen's Kerry and Kennedy would be regarded as better / higher IQ legislators by comparison. |
