AOC has repeatedly refused to call for an immediate ban on fracking or a halt to new fossil fuels. She took my

AOC on Biden's mixed messages about a fracking ban: "It does not bother me ... I have a very strong position on fracking ... however, that is my view ... It will be a privilege to lobby him should we win the White House, but we need to focus on winning the White House first."
