GOP scared of AOC....

[kadee79]

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is firing back at her Republican colleagues after one of them rescinded an invitation to visit a coal mine in Kentucky. 


"GOP's getting scared that up close, their constituents will realize I'm fighting harder for their healthcare than their own Reps," she goaded them on Twitter.



Ocasio-Cortez's taunt comes after GOP Rep. James Comer offered an alternative reason why his fellow Kentucky Republican, Rep. Andy Barr, might want to rescind his coal mine invite — and it isn't because of Barr's stated rationale that she had gotten into a Twitter spat with another GOP member. 


Lawmakers in his party are "making a mistake picking on" New York freshman over issues like nonrenewable energy because of her smarts, policy preparation and massive millennial following, Comer said Monday on the Lexington NBC affiliate's sports and news program "Hey Kentucky!"



"I don't see any upside to bringing Ocasio-Cortez in," Comer said, adding that it's "not likely" a visit would change her views about coal in part because, he thinks, "she's pretty set in her ways."



"But Ocasio-Cortez has a movement of millennials that follow her," Comer said. "Ocasio-Cortez is a lot more prepared when she comes to committee meetings. ... She is smart, and I think that we need to be very prepared when we debate her on issues that we're having a hard time with. There's still a future for coal, but we need to make sure that we're debating the right people on that issue."

So, his advice is to try and only debate stupid, unprepared people?  Good luck with that.  The vast majority of those are on his side.

Sooooo, not only are they having a hard time with insurance coverage for their miners...they must also be having a hard time defending no more clean water or air....for all of us.  Wonder what other issues the GOP are having a hard time with?
