"A video of Republican congressman Jeff Duncan telling Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to "educate yourself" has gone viral on social media, where it has collected over 3.2 million views.
Duncan made the remark during a debate on the House floor over a bill asking the federal government "to approve a plan to increase drilling on federal lands and waters prior to any nonemergency drawdown" from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve [SPR] in non-emergency cases, as reported by Roll Call. The bill would require an increase in the percentage of public lands and offshore waters leased to match any drawdown from the SPR.
Ocasio-Cortez proposed an amendment to the bill, introduced by House Energy and Commerce Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers on Thursday, arguing that leasing more land to fossil fuel companies would "guarantee that we will accelerate the devastating impact of climate change" and bring more profits to companies while not guaranteeing a drop in gas prices."
