The Green New Deal, claimed Gorka, is a 'Watermelon. Green on the outside, deep, deep red communist on the inside.”
Former White House aide Sebastian Gorka provided a novel rebuke Wednesday of Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, claiming, “They want to take away your hamburgers.”
“You know what the biggest threat to America is? Not socialism in Moscow, socialism here in America,” Gorka began. “According to the amazing Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, they did a poll last year in which they found that 52 percent of American millennials would like to live in a socialist or communist America.
There is much to pack and fact check in Gorka’s comments. The hamburger remarks would appear to be referring to comments from Ocasio-Cortez in which she talked about the need to reduce, but by no means eradicate, meat consumption. The poll Gorka cited, from the nonprofit organization Victims of Communism, is also a significant outlier in terms of Americans’ views on socialism. Another poll around the same time last year, from Buzzed News/Maru/Blue, found that 31 percent of millennials identified as socialist or democratic socialist.
