In a recently unearthed video, Rep. Alexandria Occasio-Cortez (D-NY) threw a temper tantrum after Republicans supposedly questioned her intelligence. While this clip is originally from 2023, it is still relevant because it proves that AOC’s childish behavior is still disrupting politics two years later.
For context, AOC is part of the far-left “Squad,” an informal group of extremist Democrats in the House. Since rising to prominence in 2018, she has made no secret of her ultra-woke agenda by prioritizing LTBTQ+ issues, climate alarmism, and DEI objectives.
Beginning her massive meltdown, the New York Democrat said, “I understand in this body, it’s not the first time that it seems as though the opposing side can’t seem to be able to debate the issue, and so they must come after my character, while I cannot control the fact that the other side seems to have made the assumption that I am uneducated.”
Building up to a theatrical crescendo, Rep. Cortez continued to rant. She said, “One of the things that I can say, or you know what they may say, about my world view, one of the things that I can say is that while I may not work for Wall Street, that is true, I may not be here with the mission to increase profits for corporations. That is true.”
Loving the sound of her voice, AOC explained her so-called priorities. The congresswoman said, “My mission here is for the well-being and dignity of our family and our planet’s future, for our children’s ability to live on this planet. That is what this amendment is about. Moreover, when we talk about education, we should all take it upon ourselves in this body to educate ourselves on the science of the challenge of climate change that is before us.”
Concluding her melodramatic ravings, AOC prophesized a bleak future. She said, “Around 2050, we are looking at the western states to be projected to increase wildfires two to six times, and that is just scratching the surface. Thank you, and I yield back to the ranking member.”
After a clip of the incident was posted to social media on January 26, 2023, conservatives flocked to the comments to mock the controversial Democrat. One of the comments asked, “Isn’t her “job” is to represent the area and people and state that elected her? Pretty sure that’s who she is supposed to be representing…”Another user questioned, “Why does she talk so often about herself on the house floor? Everything is about her.”

Objecting to her argument, one commentator said, “Dear @AOC, I watched this video, and in my opinion. “Climate Change” is one more “Big Issue” you and others in Congress use as a faux justification to squander the tax dollars of US Citizens to benefit your connected political donors who make campaign contributions to you.”
Rounding out the comments, conservatives joked about AOC’s repeated predictions of disasters that never came to pass. One such comment read, “I thought she said a few years ago that the planet would be over in 12 years. Now she’s making projections about what will allegedly happen in 2050?”
