‘You love to see it’: AOC Deletes Tweet Celebrating Oil Industry Nosedive
The oil industry took a massive nosedive on Monday amid the coronavirus pandemic and although it means American workers will likely lose their jobs, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, celebrated the move saying “you absolutely love to see it” on Twitter. Within minutes, however, she deleted the tweet and replaced it with a different message.
“You absolutely love to see it.” she wrote in her original tweet, “This along with record low interest rates means it’s the right time for a worker-led, mass investment in green infrastructure to save our planet *cough*”
Now is the time to create millions of good jobs building out the infrastructure and clean energy necessary to save our planet for future generations.
For our economy, our planet, and our future, we need a #GreenNewDeal.

The revised tweet said, “Now is the time to create millions of good jobs building out the infrastructure and clean energy necessary to save out planet for future generations.”
Oil prices fell to the lowest they’ve ever been Monday all the way to -$40 a barrel and the expectation is that many workers in the industry will lose their jobs as a result. “There is such a massive supply surplus and very little places to store it, and that’s what’s driving this,” Jim Burkhard, vice president and head of oil markets at IHS Markit, told The Hill.

Sara Carter interviews residents of NC about federal response to Hurricane Helene
With only 28 days until our presidential election, Kamala Harris “decided to pick a fight” with Governor Ron DeSantis as he is battling for the state of Florida and focusing on the survival of his citizens as one of the most historic hurricanes makes land fall.
Harris chastised DeSantis for “not taking a phone call” from her; a call which DeSantis said he never even received. The Governor responded on Hannity saying Harris has never even helped in any of the many storms the state has endured while she has been in office.
Harris and Biden also got caught red handed giving money that was intended for FEMA and natural disasters, to help fund illegal immigrants flooding the country.
Sara Carter spoke to residents in North Carolina; a state where devastating Hurricane Helene hit less than two weeks prior to Milton which devastated large parts of Florida.
Twelve full days after Helene hit North Carolina, residents are still not seeing recovery efforts. “It’s been twelve days, I feel abandoned” residents have told Carter. Effort “should have been immediate” one man said who thanked the local fire chiefs and people of North Carolina for their response time for “our citizens and our residents.”
In response to Biden claiming citizens in North Carolina are getting what they need, one man said they are only getting the basic necessities from the community, “not from the government.”
“We need help” another man stated. “We’re American,” he stated, adding, “I’ve never asked for anything in my life but we need help.”
