The cool thing about this was, without missing a beat, Ocasio-Cortez said: "And that's the difference between me and Trump." And frankly any Democrat, or sentient being, when insults are hurled for no good reason other than to highjack the debate. Leave that sort of nonsense to the thing in the White House and his Klan rallies.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared for an hour-long town hall on MSNBC Friday evening to discuss her Green New Deal proposal and the issue of climate change but things got heated when an audience member called a former Republican congressman a "moron" during a debate.
While discussing the bill, former Rep. Bob Inglis, a Republican from South Carolina who lost his seat in Congress due to his ideas to combat climate change, said he didn't believe the Green New Deal could be done within one Congress (two years). He also voiced worries that holding a left-leaning event calling for attention to climate change could disenfranchise moderates or Republicans.
"I worry that what we do is if we have 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," Inglis said, adding that "You can't do it in a single congress —the entire Green New Deal. It is literally impossible."
