    AOC is just a stupid beaner whore.

    If you’ve been on social media the last day or so, you’ve probably noticed there’s a moral panic occurring over gas stoves. According to Democrats
    far and wide, they are dangerous, cause asthma, and must be banned by the federal government.

    As RedState reported, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pushed that line on Tuesday, resulting in much mockery given she herself has a gas stove. But what’s astonishing is that amidst her absolute certainty on the topic, she
    had never even mentioned the issue prior.

    This is one of the creepiest parts of modern progressivism. AOC had never tweeted about stoves before yesterday, but, when she did for the first
    time, her tone was one of weary condescension toward the bitter-enders
    whom she's been trying to inform for years. It's cultish. pic.twitter.com/UX8FYuPim2

    In other words, in the span of just 24 hours, Ocasio-Cortez saw some questionable study, promoted it on the internet, gained legions of
    supporters for her position, and then tried to pretend that everyone else
    had been ignoring her desperate calls. As Charles W. Cooke notes, it’s
    cultish behavior. Is there anything the New York congresswoman could say
    that her army of simps wouldn’t agree with? And none of them even gave a
    second thought as to whether what she was saying was true or made any
    sense.

    It wasn’t just Ocasio-Cortez, though. Other Democrats lined up to preach
    the dangers of gas stoves, having all suddenly become experts on the
    matter.

    Good luck finding much support for Scott Wiener and Max Kennedy’s claims
    that gas stoves are “toxic” and cause asthma. Yes, a search will produce a random study or two, but there’s been no landmark research regarding gas
    stoves proving they are a major health risk, much less is there anything
    that begins to justify federal government intervention.

    What makes this even dumber is that all the Democrats currently pushing
    for a ban on gas stoves apparently have them. If they are so dangerous,
    why didn’t Elizabeth Warren, Jill Biden, Kamala Harris, and others get rid
    of their gas stoves years ago? Could it be because this entire discussion
    is completely manufactured?

    Regardless, it’s worth asking where this is all coming from, right? Why
    did Democrats all start moving in lockstep to ban gas stoves, seemingly
    with no prior concern at all? And sure enough, with a little digging, it’s
    been revealed that this isn’t just idle science taking place.

    The company behind the study is called “Carbon-Free Buildings.” That
    company is a partner of the World Economic Forum and has a true-believer
    CEO who wants to rid the world of all carbon emissions (which is
    impossible and would lead to mass extinction).

    Now, it’s all starting to make sense. Is this moral panic over gas stoves really about children and asthma? Of course, it’s not. Rather, it is yet
    more nonsense from the WEF and its like-minded corporate underlings
    regarding climate change. It’s obvious, in my view, that the citation of
    health risks being bandied about currently is just a convenient cover to
    try to force more people off forms of energy that rely on fossil fuels
    (i.e. natural gas).

    That’s why no one was talking about this previously. The climate change
    cult is just using this “study,” which I wouldn’t trust as far as I can
    throw it, to accomplish its ultimate goal. But what’s scary here is how
    quickly they were able to mobilize. A study gets put out, Ocasio-Cortez
    and others run with it, and suddenly the federal government is trying to
    tell you what stove you can cook on. There’s a certain psychotic
    efficiency to the modern left, and it shouldn’t be brushed aside.
