A meteorologist took Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to task after she panicked about “climate crisis” during a Thursday tornado warning in Washington, D.C.
Ocasio-Cortez attempted to connect the tornado warning to climate change on social media, but the meteorologist, Ryan Maue, set her straight.
