Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Cheers on Bodega Boycott of New York Post Over 9/11 Front Page

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) applauded the boycott of The New York Post being organized by corner stores in the city following the tabloid’s front page cover calling out Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for her comments about 9/11.

Omar has faced criticism this week for comments she made at a speech in March, notably from colleague Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and President Donald Trump.

“CAIR was founded after 9/11, because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties,” she said, in comments that her critics said minimized the terror attacks.

The Post was scathing in its criticism of the congresswoman, slapping a photo of the attacks on its front page this week along with the headline: “Here’s your something… 2,977 people dead by terrorism.”

In response to the controversial cover, the Yemeni American Merchants Association (YAMA) announced a boycott of the Post, for what defenders of Omar decried as encouraging anti-Muslim sentiment.

It reminds me of the smirk the head choppers display when they have some poor, blindfolded wretch kneeling in front of them and they are about to film slitting his throat.

“Is there a LIST of these Yemeni bodegas? Because they are a hell of a lot of construction workers, electricians, plumbers, cops, fireman and EMS workers who spend a TON of money at bodegas, who would really like that list — so they never spend a dollar there again.”

easy enough to detect them: just ask for a New York Post, and if they don’t carry them, then just walk away ...
