Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) defended her position that the United States needs to tackle flatulence from cows in order to prevent catastrophic climate change, during an MSNBC town hall aired March 29.
The remarks regarding eliminating “farting cows and airplanes” first surfaced in materials released by Ocasio-Cortez’s office during the rollout of the Green New Deal resolution. Ocasio-Cortez has since scrapped the language from the documents, but it continues to provide fodder for ridiculing the resolution.
