Why was the Green New Deal yanked from Ocasio-Cortez's website?

The story behind the comedic and unsuccessful rollout of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal demonstrates a congressional office in utter chaos with no one — or everyone — in charge.
The document appeared on Ocasio-Cortez's webpage on February 7 and by nightfall had been unceremoniously deleted. This was after a day of mockery and outrage at some of the more unrealistic, even silly proposals the document detailed.
The "explanations" offered by her staff ran the gamut from the document being a "draft" to charges by one of her main advisers that Republicans had planted the document to make her look stupid.
Seriously? After a few weeks in the public eye, it should be obvious that Ocasio-Cortez doesn't need the GOP to look stupid.
Washington Examiner:
What is Mr. Chakrabarti doing still working for the congressman? That level of stupidity and incompetence would have cost any other chief of staff on the Hill his job. Chakrabarti is listed as one of the founders of the Justice Democrats organization, who played a key role in electing Ocasio-Cortez. His Hill administrative experience is apparently lacking.
Then there's an Ocasio-Cortez policy adviser, Robert Hockett, who told Tucker Carlson that the document was a GOP dirty trick:
Ghosts in the machine, or something.
Ocasio-Cortez herself joined the conspiracy theory:
The "false version" was a send-up by David Burge ("Iowahawk") and hardly a Republican plant.
The document says that people "unwilling to work" should be paid, despite denials from Ocasio-Cortez and her staff. This led to more mass confusion when Hockett was forced to admit that the document did, indeed, make that claim:
Fox News:
To send out a senior adviser who didn't have details of the document down cold bespeaks a level of incompetence rarely found, even on Capitol Hill.
One side of Ocasio-Cortez's office doesn't know what the other side is doing. Some advisers have apparently assumed authority they don't have. Others are in the dark.
Go ahead and pop some popcorn, sit back, relax, and strap it down. Watching Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her ditzy staff over the next two years will be better than any sitcom on TV.
