Ocasio-Cortez dings 'predominantly white' areas for hurricanes that killed minorities

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez put a racial spin Wednesday on climate change and hurricanes, attributing emissions from “predominantly white” corporations and communities for juicing recent storms that cost “predominantly black and brown lives” in Louisiana and Puerto Rico.

Even as House Republicans argued that cheap electricity from fossil fuels has helped lift more than a billion people out of poverty around the world, the New York Democrat asked a witness about whether “the Global South and communities of color” bear the brunt of climate “havoc.”

“[T]he people that are producing climate change, the folks that are responsible for the largest amount of emissions, or communities, or corporations, they tend to be predominantly white, correct?” she asked at a hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on civil rights and civil liberties.

  10. Occasional Cortex has been keeping a low profile recently but her Obamacare provided meds must need a refill. What a slam on Boston University that they first admitted, and then graduated her.

  12. Northwest Woodsman: Should I feel guilty for tornados that destroy trailer parks in the Midwest? Oh, on second thought, no, as they mostly kill white people and therefore of no consequence. What utter BS! Let’s start pushing back against these stupid attacks. Can you imagine what these racist clowns would do to our quality of life if they achieve more political power?
