BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., appeared to make another stark prediction about climate change this week, suggesting an entire city would vanish within “a few years.” Ocasio-Cortez was touting her “Green New Deal” program at a NAACP forum when she addressed critics who have called her plans “not realistic.”
“What is not realistic is not responding to the crisis — not responding with a solution on the scale of the crisis,” she said. “Because what’s not realistic is Miami not existing in a few years. That’s not realistic. So, we need to be realistic about the problem. And I feel this organization more so than any other one, should be backing me emphatically, because Miami has a very large black population. And with that city soon to be underwater, many members of the NAACP will drown because as I understand, most of you can’t swim.”
