HUGE! Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez CAUGHT IN MAJOR LIE! … Claims Crazy ‘Green New Deal’ Document FROM HER OWN WEBSITE Is a Fake!
Last night Tucker Carlson invited Cornell University professor, green activist and Ocasio-Cortez adviser Robert Hockett on his show to debate the Green New Deal proposed by Democrats on Thursday.
Robert Hockett immediately told Tucker Carlson the document source he was reading from was doctored and not from Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s website.
Tucker Carlson: Why would we ever pay people who are unwilling to work?
Robert Hockett: We never would, right? And AOC has never said anything like that, right? I think you’re referring to some document, I think some doctored document that somebody other than us has been circulating.
Tucker Carlson: Oh, I thought that came right from, that was a backgrounder from her office is my understanding?
Robert Hockett: No, No, she’s actually tweeted it out to laugh at it. If you look at her latest tweets it seems that apparently some Republicans put it out there.
The exchange was highlighted by Andrew Lawrence who wrote: “Watch what happens when Tucker Carlson steps out of the conservative bubble and brings on an @AOC policy adviser who debunks all the conservative media lies straight to his face (spoiler: it doesn’t go great for Tucker)”
Andrew Lawrence is a researcher at the far left smear-site and fake news manufacturer, Media Matters.
Rep. Alexandria Cortez retweeted the tweet on her timeline.

But it was a lie.
And Ocasio-Cortez knew it was a lie.
The actual document DID come straight off the AOC website.
The document was created by Saikat Chakrabarti, her chief of staff!
The metadata proves it.

Now @AOC's camp is claiming that the free money for those "unwilling to work" line in her original Green New Deal FAQ was one of my satirical screen shots! NO IT'S NOT! That part was real! Only thing I did was add "Free Massage Chair" and thought the joke would be obvious. pic.twitter.com/eIPlqRz1rh

The wayback machine has an archive of the original. It says for those "unwilling to work." https://t.co/T5OUEEsSf8

Even Jonathan Swain from Axios admitted it came from the AOC website.
The document Tucker reads from is not “doctored” by bad actors, as this guest claims, and @AOC retweets. He’s reading what was originally published on @AOC’s official website. https://t.co/y4Q1XD6FzA
