FNC's Carlson Fact Checks Ocasio-Cortez Strategist on Green New Deal

During Friday's edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez advisor Robert Hackett disputed some provisions of the Green New Deal as highlighted by the eponymous host. Carlson read aloud a portion of a Frequently Asked Questions document from her office, which asserted that the Green New Deal would "totally overhaul transportation," which would mean "building out high speed rail at a scale where air travel would become unnecessary."  Hockett went on to claim that that particular provision of the Green New Deal was being "misunderstood."  Eventually, Carlson interrupted Hockett and corrected him on a claim that he had made earlier in the program that the Green New Deal would not pay people "unwilling to work." Carlson informed Hockett that the "unwilling to work thing was in her backgrounder," telling him that it has been "absolutely confirmed." Hockett still disputed the idea, telling Carlson he had found the "wrong document," even when he pointed out that "NBC and lots of other news outlets are saying that was in the backgrounder."
