Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas &#8220;says the media was &#8216;Stalin-like'&#8221; in its cover-up of the Green New Deal and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, when she\u2019s out there saying that it\u2019s &#8220;a life-and-death issue.&#8221; &#8220;Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton unloaded on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s Green New Deal and said the media were &#8216;complicit\u2019 in burying the most radical parts of the deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cotton was on the radio &#8220;on Tuesday and discussed the widely ridiculed Green New Deal that aims to implement sweeping changes across the nation. For her part, Ocasio-Cortez has called the Green New Deal &#8216;a life-and-death issue\u2019 and has attacked the Republican Party on climate change.&#8221;\u00a0 In a classic example of fearmongering!
