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."
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.

Dude she is from NYC, the Bronx. I doubt she has ever been outside that city until she got elected. So, no, she has never been in a tornado warning. NYC doesn't get them too often.

Tornadoes have been happening at record low frequency over all.
These people like AOC don’t actually know anything but their minions don’t either.

It’s Clinton’s fault.
In 1936 a tornado hit Tupelo, MS and didn’t stop until Gainesville, GA. It killed 450+ people

Member when all the bitches in the northeast cried about “super storm” Sandy for months? Had to invent a whole other classification for storms just so they could use the adjective to emphasize their hurt feelings.
We talk about the “bubble” a lot, but the biggest bubble is their weather privilege. Northeast and west coast doesn’t know shite about the struggle.

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

They have also been less intense. There was nothing she said that made a lick of sense or had an ounce of truth in it.

Has this girl literally never experienced a tornado warning?
But this ignorant child is now a US Congressman who is on the House Financial Services Committee which oversees the Fed, Wall Street and the SEC.

To those that elected AOC, I get that you are socially irresponsible scum but do you really want children running our government?
This bitch is literally not smarter or more experienced than my 5 yo.

the technical definition of a tornado is "a violently rotating column of air, in contact with the ground and the base of a cumuliform cloud." Such a cloud, usually Cumulonimbus, has a base between 700 and 4,000 feet above the ground. I don't know how much research has gone into this specific question, but I've heard quoted several times in books and documentaries that a typical Cumulonimbus cloud has a base roughly 2,000 feet above the ground. The typical tornado then would be 2,000 feet tall.
I guess we could just build a wall to keep everyone safe.

Wait until she finds out that tornados occur in Europe as well.

That's nuts. Although I'm not aware of any major tornado hitting DC, there have been quite a few in the area surrounding the capital, including an F4 monster about 20 years ago in La Plata, Maryland.
