Ocasio-Cortez girlls Mike Lee: ‘If this guy can be Senator, you can do anything’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response to a screenshot of the Republican Utah lawmaker while he spoke on the Senate floor.

Like many other women + working people, I occasionally suffer from impostor syndrome: those small moments, especially on hard days, where you wonder if the haters are right.

But then they do things like this to clear it right up.

If this guy can be Senator, you can do anything. https://t.co/vU4ChbTnnr

The tweet she responded to showed a photo of Lee smiling as he stood beside a large poster of several babies. It also quoted some of his remarks before yielding his time.

"The solution to climate change is not this unserious resolution...the solution to so many of our problems at all times and in all places is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids." -@SenMikeLee on @AOC and @SenMarkey's Green New Deal

 "The solution to climate change is not this unserious resolution that we’re considering this week in the Senate,” Lee said. “But rather the serious business of human flourishing. The solution to so many of our problems, at all times and in all places is to fall in love, get married and have some kids."

Throughout his remarks, Lee called out the Green New Deal as being “ridiculous” and showcased pictures of dinosaurs and cartoon characters, in addition to babies. He said he was treating the plan “with the seriousness it deserves.”
