“The best part about the GOP-Fox propaganda machine is that Republican Congressmen actually believe + consume it uncritically, get duped themselves, which lead them to make statements like this,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ridiculed Republican members of Congress for believing the “GOP-Fox propaganda machine” after Representative Devin Nunes blamed socialism for California’s plastic straw ban.
“At restaurant tonight waitress asks if we want straws. Says she has to ask now in fear of ‘THE STRAW POLICE.’ Welcome to Socialism in California!” Nunes wrote. Nunes’s tweet came as Republicans continue to criticize Ocasio-Cortez and her Green New Deal, a massive policy proposal that would remake the economy with the hope of dramatically reducing carbon emissions.
Ivanka Trump also slammed Ocasio-Cortez’s proposal in an interview with Fox News, telling the network that “I don’t think most Americans, in their heart, want to be given something. I’ve spent a lot of time traveling around this country over the last four years. People want to work for what they get."
