Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes told The Washington Times last week that organized thefts and smash-and-grab robberies reported in the media and recorded on video are mere allegations. 


'We have to talk about specifics because, for example, we're actually seeing a lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actualy panning out. ... I believe it's a Walgreens in California cited it, the the data didn't back it up.'


AOC is telling the American people that the brazen organized thefts caught on camera did not exist. 

AOC, a leading voice of defunding the police, has made herself known for her strong views of anti-Israel, driving out Amazon distribution center, and her socialistic Progressive spending approach. She has become the symbol of the far left in the Democratic party. 



I lived in New York City from 1982-1989. I witnessed how crime turned prime real estate in the City into swaths of uninhabitable areas for businesses and residents alike. New Yorkers and businesses all prefer and deserve a safe and crime-free environment. 




On November 22, 2021, after 6 people were killed and 48 injured in Waukesha Christmas parade by a career criminal Darrell Brooks, AOC pressured NY District Attorneys in a letter for  'information on excessive bail in the NYC court system. When prosecutors seek excessive cash bail, it results in increased rates of incarceration — particularly for low-income defendants.' AOC cares more about criminals than law abiding citizens in New York who elected her to Congress. On the issue of public safety, AOC has failed these constituents.




AOC seized upon isolated policing incidents while promoting anti-police rhetoric. At the same time, she spent tens of thousands on her own private security. AOC's action and rhetoric have not enhanced but weakened public security in New York City. 




By obstructing and aborting Amazon's planned regional center in Long Island City, a trendy part of Queens, NY, AOC caused the loss of 25,000 well paying jobs much needed by the residents in and around the area. These jobs, had the Amazon regional center been opened in LIC, would also have increased the value of homes in Queens, Brooklyn and adjacent New York counties.  




Andrew Cuomo, New York's then governor, urged local politicians to work with Amazon in order to have its regional center to open in LIC, saying “You want to diversify your economy? You don’t want to just be Wall Street and finance?”  “We need Amazon.'



However,  AOC fiercely attacked Amazon: “... a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world.”




AOC sounded and acted like a communist, who was out to stoke hatred toward a successful American business. Under the cloak of an elected official, she ignored the fact that 70% New Yorkers indicated in polls that they would support and welcome such an Amazon regional center in LIC. 




AOC failed in her attempt to thwart the Israel Iron Dome bill. AOC felt bitter that so many in Washington are willing to go along with “unconditional aid to the Israeli government '. AOC was seen crying after the measure overwhelmingly passed the House of Representatives, 420–9.




AOC is anti police, anti business, anti Israel, and anti job creation. She does not represent New Yorkers' interests.
New Yorkers will win if AOC can be defeated.
