Country music star John Rich mocked the “Green New Deal,” taking
to Twitter to laugh at the extreme proposal on Friday.

“My favorite part of #GreenNewDeal is the ‘guaranteed wage for
people who are UNWILLING to work!’ Hahahaha! Wow,” Rich wrote.
“I guess they've never heard the phrase ‘Work Hard, Play Hard!’
86 year old Granny Rich just ‘rolled her eyes’ and went back to
hemming pant legs at her JOB!!”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., unveiled the "Green New
Deal" on Thursday and the controversial plan would overhaul of
virtually every aspect of American life and guarantee a host of taxpayer-covered benefits for all while phasing out fossil fuels.

Along the way, her office says the plan would aim to make air
travel obsolete, upgrade or replace every building in America to
ensure energy efficiency and give economic security even to
those "unwilling" to work – which is apparently the country
singer’s “favorite” aspect.

John Rich, one half of the country duo Big & Rich, isn’t a
fan of the “Green New Deal.”

A follower asked Rich if his grandmother would run for president
and he responded, “She’d win!”

Rich, one half of the country duo Big & Rich, has never been one
to shy away from politics. He recently challenged fellow country
music stars to a friendly debate over the Second Amendment.

The "Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy" singer is a staunch supporter
of the Second Amendment.

Meanwhile, Rich isn’t the only person to mock Ocasio-Cortez’s
proposal, as The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel wrote
that it reads like a parody of the Democratic Party done by
Republicans.

“By the end of the Green New Deal resolution (and accompanying
fact sheet) I was laughing so hard I nearly cried,” Strassel
wrote on Twitter. “If a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake
Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not
have done a better job. It is beautiful.”

The “Green New Deal” quickly picked up the backing of major 2020
Democratic presidential hopefuls including Sens. Kamala Harris,
D-Calif., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Cory Booker, D-N.J. --
who all co-sponsored the resolution.

Its proposals also include “net-zero greenhouse gas emissions
through a fair and just transition for all communities and
workers;” job creation; infrastructure investment; guarantees of
clean water, healthy food and sustainable environment; and a
curiously undefined “access to nature.”

The Republican National Committee dubbed it a "socialist wish
list" that would kill at least 1 million jobs and disrupt global
trade -- while costing trillions.
