Far-left representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now claiming that fossil fuel extractions sites are somehow fueling the murders of indigenous women.

As The Daily Wire reports:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed during a congressional hearing this week that there was a link between fossil fuel extraction and indigenous women being murdered.

“We have a crisis of missing and murdered indigenous and black women in the United States,” she said. “Today I want to discuss part of this crisis that is all too often overlooked, but whose evidence shows that there’s a very meaningful connection here, the correlation between fossil fuel extraction sites, and abductions and murders of Indigenous women across the United States. We’re very lucky to have Ms. Angel Charley here with us today to start that conversation. Ms. Charley, let’s start at the top. Can you draw a brief introductory picture of how fossil fuel extraction efforts expose Indigenous women to physical and often sexual violence? Why is it that oil, gas, and fossil fuel extraction sites have such a high correlation of violence and abduction against native women?”

“Fossil fuel industry creates man camps, or temporary settlements, that often exist right outside the outside the border lands of indigenous communities,” Charley responded. “As I stated earlier, many tribes do not have tribal jurisdiction over non-native offenders, which a majority of these oil workers are. We know that when these man camps or temporary establishments are created, that there is an increase in violence and particularly sexual violence against our native women.”

“So when there’s a fossil fuel extraction site that is placed on a reservation, and those workers, oil company workers, go to the reservation, have that site, if they commit a crime, and commit violence against indigenous women, you’re saying that they essentially escape jurisdiction from having a clear path to accountability because of where these sites are happening. Is that correct?” AOC asked.

Cortez has been a long-time exponent of the radical ‘Green New Deal’ which seeks to significantly weaken America’s fossil fuel industry.

  1. AOC only cares about skin color and not reality. Does she think black, brown or indigenous people don’t need gas and oil? She’s a fraud and an idiot

  2. Bravo New York you elected imbecil to Congress. Election have consequences and paiding a price unfortunately the whole nation does each time that this bartender opens her discrestfull pinhole.

  3. I understand that when you don’t know you get a free pass. Now we do know and it’s time to shovel this sh&t out with the rest.

  4. That’s the type of nonsense that people spew who are never held accountable for their unfounded, ridiculous claims.

  5. Every time I hear anything (that’s saying alot) come out of this know nothing kriter, the only thought that comes to my mind is? Who elects these morons???
    Other know nothing morons???

  6. The people who voted for this woman must be crawling in a whole and pulling it over the top of them to avoid admitting what an epic idiot and fool they chose to represent them. She embarrasses them and herself on a daily basis. She actually makes a lot of money to be the most stupid, vapid and uniformed representative in congress.

  7. OH MY Gosh… AOC you are such an idiot, Take your Green Deal and shove it up your butt. Better yet Take your lower lip and flip it over your head and swallow.

  8. WTF kind of STUPIDITY are they trying to claim?? Mancamps? WhoTF talks like that in the 21 century?? So I guess only WHITE MEN are the perpetrators of their claims as well??? And I would imagine these 2 would also claim that there are no INDIAN MEN hired on these sites because only WHITE MEN can do the job???? Sounds like AOC went out and found someone as rediculously STUPID as she is to testify in this sham hearing????? Come-on MAN!!! #FJB #FAOC

  9. AOCmandering:

  11. Washington DC gasoline retailers have agreed not to sell AOC gasoline for her car.

    Washington DC taxi drivers won’t pick AOC up.

    AOC was last seen trying to buy roller skates in Washington DC.

  12. One of the biggest idiots who got voted into the House. Maybe she might want to join Putin in Russia. Most stupid socialist would fit right in with Putin.

  13. Awwww, but honey, they are the only people being killed by this fossil fuel thing that you speak of, amazing. I think the adduction and murder of indigenous women, or little girls, or just women in general is called human/sex trafficking. I know it is a hard thing for someone like you to believe such things like that can happen, but it does, and it is happening at our southern border right now, by the thousands. But you people just like you think that only good and honest people are coming across the border, I am sure there are several who just want a better life but there is evil in amongst them. What was your brilliant statement, coyotes can not carry those kids across the border, and then the crying in front of an empty parking lot, pictures of kids in cages from when Obama was president, stupid is as stupid does, enough said. Yes I am a conservative republican and NO I do not want to have sex with you, or was it just a date.

  14. As each day passes by, so does any sanity from AOC and libs. This woman is profoundly stupid, yet the left embraces every insane thing she utters.

  15. By this idiots logic,black on black crime is fueled by men wearing basketball shirts! Crime is not a result of ANYTHING other than a disregard of anothers rights!
