Twitter users poked fun at Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) for turning himself into a meme as he railed against the Green New Deal on the Senate floor on Tuesday.
Ocasio-Cortez fired back to say that “if this guy can be Senator, you can do anything.”
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

Other critics across Twitter, meanwhile, showed surprise that the footage and photographs of Lee had not been edited:
1) Don't use the geeky things I love as props in your ignorance.
2) Mike Lee's solution is "Make more babies". Because they'll save us from the devastation of climate change.
Also, you don't need to "fall in love, get marrried" to make babies, Mike. Do you even science? https://t.co/5Slr9qtgU1

Mike Lee says the solution to climate change (which is caused by humans) is to make more humans.
Much like the solution to traffic is more cars. https://t.co/fGx4GFGM7A

People like Mike Lee say ridiculous stuff on C-SPAN so that it will distract you with outrage from the real news: The Green New Deal is the most practical, humane, cost-effective way of tackling climate change yet presented and the Republicans have no serious answer to it.
