The following needs little comment. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a media phenomenon I only hope she doesn’t burn out…media-wise…too soon.
Ocasio-Cortez invokes Bible in response to White House on climate change
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) on Wednesday responded to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders telling her to leave climate change up to a “much higher authority” by invoking the Bible.
While not quoting specific verses, the freshman lawmaker invoked scripture in defense of her impassioned pleas to address climate change.
“Genesis 1: God looked on the world & called it good not once, not twice, but seven times,” she tweeted. “Genesis 2: God commands all people to ‘serve and protect’ creation.”
“Leviticus: God mandates that not only the people, but the land that sustains them, shall be respected,” she added.
“You shouldn’t need a Bible to tell you to protect our planet, but it does anyway,” she wrote in a follow-up tweet.

They certainly deserve it.

“Girl”?
She’s 29 years old, I believe. Not exactly a girl.
You apparently do not speak or understand contemporary American…that is, young, urban, ghetto-and-internet-influenced…English, JDW.
Too bad. It’s a great dialect. Concise, colorful and to the point. Not recognizing it is a sure sign of racism. Liking it does not preclude one from speaking academically “correct” English, but not even hearing its inflections and meanings?
Sad.
My reply to this ignorant comment is the same as AOC’s recent reply to criticism from the execrable Joe Lieberman:
Go away.

Tell you what, Arfur. Go to my work place, go to most work places, and call 29 year old women “girls”. See how many of them compliment you for your close study of hip bg-city slang.
If he dropped this hip lingo in a neighborhood coffee shop or other business, the female customers would roll their eyes so hard at his old white man ass they’d be under risk of dropping out of their sockets.
she is really something special, and badly needed. I can’t think of another newcomer to Congress who has made such a splash.
