Howard Schultz: Green New Deal is well-intended but too extreme

[When asked about the Green New Deal proposed by] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Schultz called her "well-intentioned," but then started to explain why he believes the Green New Deal is an unrealistic goal.

"You can't try to solve one extreme with another," he said, referring to both Trump and the Democratic Party. He previously called Ocasio-Cortez "un-American," but now seemed to back off that view when he said [of Green New Deal supporters], "They love the country. They have their core beliefs. But you have to ask them, is any of this possible?"

"The vast majority of Americans are not going to embrace socialism," Schultz said, neglecting to note that just one of the many people running for president on the Democratic side identifies as a Democratic Socialist.
