Leonard Pitts, Jr., wonders about Republicans’ fascination with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Addressing Republicans, he writes:
The latest example began when one of your rank and file, Rep. Sean Duffy , took aim at the Green New Deal, Ocasio-Cortez’s wish list of social, economic and policy goals to stem the impact of climate change. He called it “elitist.”
She responded forcefully. “You want to tell people that their concern and their desire for clean air and clean water is elitist?” she said. “Tell that to the kids in the South Bronx, which are suffering from the highest rates of childhood asthma in the country. Tell that to the families in Flint, whose kids have their blood ascending in lead levels. …Call them elitist.”
