Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently blamed banks for the fact that Barack Obama forced them to give mortgages to people who were unable to pay them back.
When Obama was working as a community organizer, he filed lawsuits which forced banks to give mortgages to people with bad credit and low incomes. As a result, many of these people ended up defaulting on their mortgages. As their attorney, Obama collected $23,000 in legal fees for himself.
Then in April 2013, during Obamas second term as President, the Washington Post reported that Obama was still pressuring banks
to make home loans to people with weaker credit
But Ocasio-Cortez didn’t blame Obama for the fact that Obama forced these banks to give mortgages to people who were unable to pay them back.
Instead, she blamed the banks for the fact that Obama forced the banks to give mortgages to people who were unable to pay them back.
Here are her exact words:
“In my district, I represent Rikers Island. I represent kids that go to jail for jumping a turnstile because they can’t afford a Metro card. Do you think that more folks should have gone to jail for their role in a financial crisis that led to 7.8 million foreclosures in the ten years between 2007 and 2016, Mr. Dimon?”
You can see her saying those words in this video: (Skip to 2:47)

Btch is on a roll of the Frankfurt School
She’s tragically inarticulate, dopey, and immature...but, on this point, she’s correct!
Man the reply’s to the video are something else.
They don’t realize how any of it came about to begin with.
Didn’t Carter do the same thing, force banks to give mortgages?
That’s the problem...she shoots her mouth off, without shame of her bizarre ignorance, and people believe her and think she’s like Trump because she fights back.
The fact that she’s absolutely wrong doesn’t seem to enter their minds.
Jimmy Cahtah signed CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) into law, but it was Clinton that pushed it into action.
"Ocasio-Cortez Appears On 'The Price Is Right,' Guesses Everything Is Free"When will people face up to these idiotic leftists?
Additionally, I’ll bet these “kids” jumping the subway gates have plenty of tattoos and smokes.
Does the media and the columnist zealously go around and report on canine bowel movements and describe the excrement that the dogs leave behind?
Yet they just as zealously spend ink and electrons going around and reporting on Demonicrats and the excrement that comes out of their mouths. Even more, the leftist media eagerly scratch and sniff the pile, pontificating on the great odor of wisdom that they find in the mess after pawing through it.
Shes not worth a comment.
This idiot belongs on The View.
Do you think that more folks should have gone to jail for their role in a financial crisis that led to 7.8 million foreclosures in the ten years between 2007 and 2016, Mr. Dimon?
Yes! Lock Barry and Barney up now!
The only ones that go to Riker’s for jumping the turnstile are the ones with outstanding criminal warrants. A big population.
Yes and George Bush pushed it also.
“Do you think that more folks should have gone to jail for their role in a financial crisis that led to 7.8 million foreclosures in the ten years between 2007 and 2016, Mr. Dimon?”
Dimon: “Why yes, yes I do, but apparently the obama Department of Justice from 2008-2016 thought otherwise”
Turnstile jumpers used to get a ticket. No arrest unless there is a warrant.
DeBlasio has declared the subway free for these people. Not a crime anymore.
AOC does not know WTF she is talking about.
More often than not, most of these leftists who cry poor on necessities willingly spend money on the latest phones, clothes, or other nonessential services.
I recall someone whining how their cable bill was so expensive and their kid needs the interned for school work. Eventually the admitted they had one of the highest tiers offered with HBO, Showtime, etc. It never occurred to them to cut back by either going internet only or cutting to just basic TV channels.
