Super-woke Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez boasts that her new engagement ring is made from "recycled gold" and is "zero-emission."
The just-engaged socialist made the claim on Twitter in response to a follower who warned that "your ring gotta be made of tinfoil, otherwise the right's gonna flip."
