‘Green New Deal’ Crowd Taunts Former Rep. Who Suggests Waiting on Universal Income to Save Environment

‘Hey, hey, hey — that’s unacceptable and that’s the difference between me and Trump’

INGLIS: “What we do is if we have a basically the mirror image of a Trump rally on climate change that we drive all the people away that could come our way and solve this thing now and then could we come back to things like universal basic income? Could we come back to health care? Because, you know, I was in two Congress that were totally consumed by health care. You can’t do it in a single Congress the entire ‘Green New Deal’. It is literally impossible with the number of committee references that you would have in the course of that. So is it possible that we say listen, climate change is the thing that we’re seeing the whites of its eyes. We got to act now. Can we come back maybe to universal basic income a little bit later?”

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “So — hey, hey, hey. That’s unacceptable and that’s the difference between me and Trump.”

(Applause)

INGLIS: “That’s good. I appreciate that.”
