Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a big splash in Congress with her signature legislation, the  “Green New Deal,” but Cubic ‘N’ Cotton break down AOC’s Green New Deal and show why it’s trash!

ATTN: is proud to introduce its new Diamond and Silk parody: Cubic ‘N’ Cotton. 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced her signature legislation, the Green New Deal earlier this year and it became a media whirlwind. AOC’s Green New Deal seeks to improve America by addressing climate change and global warming, healthcare reform and creating jobs for Americans according to AOC. The Green New Deal also addresses other important issues like education. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal was voted down in the Senate, but AOC will continue to raise awareness about the Green New Deal to get other politicians, especially Democrats, to support the Green New Deal. 

The Green New Deal has been a talking point in the Democratic debate. The Dem debate focused on a variety of topics in addition to the Green New Deal, like immigration, healthcare, climate change, and other issues. AOC’s Green New Deal has become a major talking point as it claims that the world could end in 12 years if we don’t do something about climate change and global warming. Thus implementing alternatives to fossil fuels, like windmills, is another important part of the Green New Deal.

AOC has been opposed to ICE and an advocate of Immigration reform for asylum seekers, who have been jailed in detention centers at the orders of President Donald Trump which opposes the views of AOC. Trump hasn’t yielded though. President Trump has been very critical of AOC and her Green New Deal. Donald Trump, the President of  America, has also been critical of other Congresswomen including Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib, in addition to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This group has been dubbed The Squad by mainstream media. 

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has been critical of President Trump for telling Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib to go back to their own countries. AOC has spoken out about the unfair treatment of asylum seekers at ICE Immigration detention centers and how ICE arrests people without warrants. ICE warrants have been a subject of debate as President Trump makes it harder for asylum seekers. While some have been focused on the ICE Officer now known as ICE Bae aka ICE Bae, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has been trying to bring attention to the harsh treatment of asylum seekers in detention centers in addition to talking about the #GreenNewDeal. 

This video is intended as a parody of Diamond and Silk. Cubic/Cotton are portraying Diamond, Silk. This sketch comedy is a comedy video and does not reflect any of the actual views on politics from the actors involved. In other words, it’s satire.
