"Uh, we never would, right? And AOC has never said anything like that, right? I think you're referring to some sort of document -- I think some doctored document that somebody other than us has been circulating. ... She's actually tweeted it out to laugh at it, if you look at her latest tweets. It seems apparently, some Republicans have put it out there. I don't know the details."
Ocasio-Cortez herself was dismissing it saying in a tweet that there were multiple "doctored" Green New Deal resolutions and FAQs "floating around."
But then Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, spilled the beans and flatly contradicted Hockett when he admitted the FAQ shared with NPR and posted on Ocasio-Cortez's website which contained this proposal was in fact genuine. This forced Hockett to start furiously back-peddling and confess he was in error. Ocasio-Cortez herself shifted into damage control mode.
Oops.
