There is an undisputed star at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference: Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and her Green New Deal.
Ocasio-Cortez"is the thought leader of the Democratic party right now... she is setting the Democrats' foreign policy table" and the agenda for the party's 2020 contenders, insisted Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
"With this Green New Deal, they're trying to get rid of all the cows," Chairman of the Freedom Caucus Mark Meadows warned the crowd, to hearty boos — although, he assured them, the push means people will just eat more chicken and"Chick-fil-A stock will way go up!" Another difference unsettling some speakers here: she doesn't dismiss the socialist label — she embraces it.
