Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, who on a good day looks like he's sucking on

a lemon, ripped into Republicans for planning to force a vote on the Green New Deal.

They want everyone on record concerning where they stand for this insanity.

Schumer doesn't want the Dems pinned down and he's really ticked at Senate Majority

Leader Mitch McConnell for calling the vote.

McConnell is trolling the Dems and I love it.

Schumer called the plan a "stunt," a "cheap, cynical ploy" and "a game of political

gotcha."

Considering Schumer wrote the proverbial book on dirty politics, he should know.

Actually, it is a valid move to make politicians say they are either for or against the Green

New Deal.

"The Republican leader announced he's going to bring up a resolution he intends

to vote against," Schumer said on the Senate floor.

"Now that is what the American people hate about Congress — the pointless partisan

games."

No sir… they hate the corrupt leftists tearing us apart.

Chuck Schumer Tweeted.

Dear @SenateMajLdr McConnell:

Stop trying to distract from the fact that the GOP has no plan on climate change.

I'm headed to the Senate Floor to issue you a challenge to admit for the first time:

1.

Climate change is real 2.

It's caused by humans 3.

Congress needs to act.

Schumer isn't the only Democrat calling foul here.

They are terrified of being tied to a plan that would literally destroy the US and everything

we hold dear.

But most of the Democratic field running for the presidency in 2020 has already rallied

behind the deal.

Even so, Schumer, joined by colleagues on the Senate floor, said: "Bring it on."

He said Democrats "believe that we need to do something about climate change" and

added: "Do Republicans?"

Make no mistake, this has nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with greed,

graft, and corruption.

McConnell promised a Senate vote on the Green New Deal last week.

He wants Democrats to go on record.

Nice tee-up for the 2020 race and reelecting Trump.

"I've noted with great interest the Green New Deal," McConnell told reporters.

"And we're going to be voting on that in the Senate.

We'll give everybody an opportunity to go on record and see how they feel about the

Green New Deal."

The Green New Deal was put forth by Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

She wants to transform our economy and way of life in an attempt to fight faux climate

change.

It recently came under scrutiny after revelations that a related FAQ document included passages

promising a job to "all people of the United States" – including those "unwilling

to work" – and suggesting air travel could be made obsolete.

And don't even get me started on eliminating cow farts.

"We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we

aren't sure that we'll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that

fast," the now-deleted document also read.

Then Ocasio-Cortez and her minions tried to claim that the doc was concocted by Republicans.

She lied her ever-loving head off.

From Fox News: "But McConnell's move to bring the plan

to a vote on the Senate floor will be a key test for Democratic presidential candidates

such as Sens. Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, who

are running on the progressive platform in 2020.

"While backing of the far-left proposal will ultimately improve their liberal bona

fides and their support from the Democratic base, the support of the plan will undoubtedly

be the target of attacks during the general election.

"President Trump has already begun attacking the Green New Deal, claiming it would "shut

down American energy" and describing it as "a high school term paper that got a

low mark" during a rally Monday in El Paso, Texas.

"Corbin Trent, a spokesman for Ocasio-Cortez, said that McConnell's plan to bring the

plan to the vote will only show "just how out of touch Republican politicians are with

the American people."

This is an attempt to wake America up and show them what will happen if the Democrats

seize control.

Al Gore never went away, he just co-opted the millennials and power-hungry climbers

in the Democratic Party.
