18. The USA Today article which is the Yahoo article is based on is much different.

At the end of the Yahoo article there is this:

"This isn’t the first time the House Speaker derided Ms Ocasio-Cortez. In February, Ms Pelosi scoffed at the Green New Deal, a climate change proposal introduced by the New York Democrat, in an interview with Politico.

“It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive,” Ms Pelosi said. “The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it, right?”"

But if one follows the link to the original article, you'll find this:

"sked about the proposal on Thursday, Pelosi struck a less dismissive tone.
"Quite frankly I haven't seen it, but I do know that it's enthusiastic, and we welcome all the enthusiasm that's out there," she said at her weekly news conference. "I'm very excited about it all, and I welcome the Green New Deal and any other proposals.""

It appears that the author of the Yahoo article, Sarah Harvard, cherry picked segments of other articles to produce click bait.
