Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez backtracked form her previous comments regarding climate change over the weekend; saying voters must have the “intelligence of a sea sponge” to believe the world will end in just twelve years.

“This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and ‘fact check’ it. Like the ‘world ending in 12 years’ thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal,” posted Ocasio-Cortez on social media.

But the GOP is basically Dwight from The Office so who knows. https://t.co/pmkwrdeAnq

The recently sworn-in representative routinely issued the dire prediction at speaking events across the country earlier this year; saying “The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.”
