Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) channeled her inner Danielle Bregoli on Friday — the "cash me outside" girl from Dr. Phil — during a talk at a "Girls Who Code" event in New York City.

During the talk, the 29-year-old politician slammed critics who raise serious concerns about her "Green New Deal," saying that people are just being critical over "little minute thing[s]."

"Like I just introduced the Green New Deal two weeks ago, and it's creating all of this conversation. Why?" Ocasio-Cortez said. "Because no one else has even tried. Because no one else has even tried."

"So people are like, 'Oh it's unrealistic. Oh it's vague. Oh it doesn't address this little minute thing,'" Ocasio-Cortez continued. "And I'm like, 'You try. You do it. Cuz you're not. Cuz you're not. So, until you do it, I'm the boss.' How bout that?"

The clip reminded many of Danielle Bregoli, who several years ago became famous after her "cash me outside" moment on Dr. Phil.

Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal has drawn widespread criticism from across the political spectrum, including Democrats, noting that it's not realistic by any measure.

West Virginia Democrat Senator Joe Manchin:


The Green New Deal is a dream, it’s not a deal. It’s a dream. And that’s fine. People should have dreams in the perfect world what they’d like to see. I’ve got to work in realities and I’ve got to work in the practical, what I have in front of me. I’ve got to make sure that our country has affordable, dependable, reliable energy 24/7, but you can’t just be a denier and say, ‘Well, I’m not going to use coal. I’m not going to use natural gas. I’m not going to use oil.'

And you have to understand also that climate -- we talk about global climate, it’s the globe. It’s not North American climate, it’s not the United States’ climate. It’s the globe. How do we bring on China and India and everybody else who are great users of carbon right now and polluters of carbon to be carbon-free also?

Minnesota Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar:


I think they are aspirations. I think we can get close. I don’t think we are going to get rid of entire industries in the US.

This is put out there, as an aspiration, in that it’s something that we need to move toward. Do I think we could cross every ‘t’ and dot every ‘i’ in 10 years? Actually, I think that would be very difficult to do.

Life long Democrat and former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz:


When I read the Green New Deal and I try to understand what they’re suggesting, I don’t understand how you’re going to give a job to everybody, how you’re going to give free college to everybody, how you’re going to create clean energy throughout the country in every building of the land, and then tally this thing up with $32 trillion on Medicare for all. That’s about $40 trillion plus, we are sitting … with $22 trillion of debt on the balance sheet of America...

...I think it’s immoral to suggest that we can tally up $20 [trillion], $30, $40, $50 trillion of debt to solve a problem that can be solved in a different way. It’s not that they’re disingenuous, I think they’re well-intentioned. This is not personal, I just don’t agree that this is the right way to approach things.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) wondered whether it was okay to have children given concerns about climate change, during an Instagram video for her supporters Sunday.

“There’s scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult,” she claimed. “And it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question, you know, is it okay to still have children?”

Ocasio-Cortez’s musings on the morality of having children come at a time when the U.S. birth-rate is at a 30-year-low and below population replacement level.

She also claimed there was a “basic moral question” people had of how they can respond to climate change.

“I mean not just financially because people are graduating with 20, 30, $100,000 worth of student loan debt,” she said, “and so they can’t even afford to have kids and a house, but also just this basic moral question, like ‘what do we do?'”

“And even if you don’t have kids, there are still children here in the world and we have a moral obligation to them and to leave a better world for them,” she added.

Ocasio-Cortez insisted that people “need a universal sense of urgency” on the issue and criticized the way a fellow Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (CA), had responded after being confronted by children in her office about her lack of support for the Green New Deal.

“You know ‘I’ve been working on this for x amount of years,’ it’s like not good enough,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an apparent reference to Feinstein telling the children that she'd worked on the issue for 30 years.

AOC: 'We're All Screwed' on Climate Change and 'Are Dying Now'

Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) responded to questions from supporters Sunday in an Instagram Live session, explaining her Green New Deal and why “we’re screwed on climate” and are dying.

“The whole premise of the Green New Deal is that we’re screwed on climate,” she said. “Like, I’m sorry to break it to you. If we do nothing, there is no hope, period. That’s just a principle across the board. If we do not act there is no hope. The only time we can hope is when we act. But when it comes to climate in particular, we’re actually screwed.”

She continued: “There is a global threat to the planet. A global threat. At this point, we don’t even have to prove it — just walk outside in winter in a lot of places, and it’s either way worse than you’re used to, or way warmer than you’re used to. Hurricanes, storms, wildfires, we are dying now.”

Later, she explained to her followers what a resolution is and that even if her Green New Deal passes, it won't change anything.

It “isn’t even a binding bill,” she explained while calling opposition to it "reprehensible."

"If we called a vote on the Green New Deal tomorrow ... and it passed, nothing would happen. Literally nothing would happen because it's a resolution. It's a statement," she said.

You can watch the videos if you'd like. I'll pass.
