Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez panics during thunderstorm

A meteorologist took Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to task after she panicked about "climate crisis" during a Thursday tornado warning in Washington, D.C.
Ocasio-Cortez attempted to connect the tornado warning to climate change on social media, but the meteorologist, Ryan Maue, set her straight.
"There's people stuck outside!" she told her Instagram followers in a video, gesturing to the heavy rain and winds occurring outside. "We need to get them out. This is crazy."
She also added, "Well, that was something. Alarms went off in the building advising people to seek shelter."
"Apparently the tornado moved/missed the city so quickly that they ended the warning shortly after," Ocasio-Cortez continued, adding "apparently this is a thing that happens in the summer here? With increasing intensity?"
The freshman lawmaker went on to share a PBS story that examined a study trying to determine whether climate change worsens the effects of tornadoes. She quoted the piece, writing, "Rather than lie squarely in the Great Plains, America's tornadoes appear to be sliding into the Midwest and Southeast."
Ocasio-Cortez told her followers, "Tornadoes are challenging to link to climate change links due to their nature (geographically, limited, acute patterns, how they form, etc.), but we DO know that tornadoes HAVE been changing. They are no longer limited to the Great Plains, and are shifting to other regions of the country."
"The climate crisis is real, y'all," she added. "Guess we're at casual tornadoes in growing regions of the country."
Maue responded to Ocasio-Cortez's alarmism, pointing out that she was confusing weather and climate change.
On Twitter, Maue wrote, "The Congresswoman @AOC does not know the difference between weather and climate. Let's try an easy analogy: Weather is what outfit you wear heading out the door. Climate is your closet wardrobe."
He also added, "I thought this was fake but it's from @AOC Instagram story. No idea what she means with 'casual tornadoes' and how this line of severe thunderstorms is proof of any 'climate crisis.' It's just the weather in D.C."

No matter the dumbassery, she still has an audience.

Uh, what? Have tornados not been down here (the southeast) forever?
And if climate change is bringing them to DC with greater frequency then I’m all for it.

Is she back to her 12 year prediction?

Good grief.

If AOC had written "The Wizard of Oz", Dorothy would have been yelling to Toto about climate change when the twister hit, and then annoyed everyone on the way to the Emerald City with her complaints about lion farts, straw burning and the use of fossil fuels to lubricate mechanical men.

Has this girl literally never experienced a tornado warning?

AOC used to panic if you asked for extra olives in your martini.

Had a girlfriend at LSU that absolutely would lose her shite, when it stormed really bad. Best sex I ever had.

FFS.
The study I suspect she's talking about suggests an increase in tornado frequency in the SE with a connection to climate change. Not that they've only ever been Plains problem.

Sigh.
She needs to understand this better to be a lead voice for climate policy.
Just...

How dare this sexist pig mansplain to her? Obviously she wasn't speaking literally. Typical of conservative men to put words in her mouth and totally misrepresent what she said. It's like figurative language and for him to totally misrepresent the greater point being that climate change is a real threat to humanity...ugh it speaks to the level of ignorance that society is dealing with. We can play semantics all day but that will be one less day we've got in our 12 remaining years.

Aoc is like a real life kelly bundy...except she's a little dumber.
I hate to imagine how many blowjobs she has been tricked into.

I'd truly love to see this functional retard move here to Oklahoma. She'd live inside her storm shelter 9 months a year. And phone signal is not stellar in storm cellars and safe rooms, so she'd be effectively silenced for 75% of the year.
Then again, it's probably better for conservatives that she continues to open her mouth and remove all doubt that she's a blabbering fool
We're flooded as shite here and keep getting hammered by tornadic supercells, but aside from the historic flooding the weather has actually been about normal for spring in Oklahoma. The recent tornado outbreaks are nowhere near on the scale they were just a few years ago or the ridiculous outbreak we had 20 years ago. Hell, just last year I witnessed two tornadoes with my own eyes in very close proximity to me- like within a half mile.

I think what she means is that tornado alley has shifted which isn't the first time I've heard about this. As the Earth warms be it due to natural causes or not it's not crazy to think tornado valley may shift.
Sounds like the only thing she "panicked" about was people getting caught in a tornado.
Not surprisingly The Blaze turns it up to 11 though
