Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) read the entire 14-page signature “Green New Deal” on the House floor Wednesday afternoon because she claims that Republicans do not understand it.

The self-described Democratic socialist took to the House floor on Wednesday to talk about climate change and criticize those who are against her big government-oriented solutions.

“I have noticed that there’s been an awful lot of misinformation about what is inside this resolution,” Ocasio-Cortez said from the House floor. “A tremendous amount of wild claims— everything from saying we’re seeking to ban airplanes to ending ice cream.

“Why is this so controversial?” Ocasio-Cortez said at the end of her House speech, urging fellow Democrats to join her in supporting the measure.
