AOC is going AWOL for the city’s only in-person debate ahead of next week’s Democratic Party primary.
First-term Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens/Bronx) plans to skip out on a face-to-face showdown with three challengers Wednesday, her office told The Post.
Ironically, the Parkchester Times-sponsored debate is the same one the previous incumbent, 10-term Rep. Joseph Crowley, shirked in 2018.
It was seen as a backhanded diss of his upstart opponent — and helped AOC unseat him in a shocking primary result one week later.
“Ocasio-Cortez is claiming her incumbency privilege,” Parkchester Times publisher Sheikh Musa Drammeh told The Post. “But if she does the same thing, history will repeat itself.”
The Democratic candidates in New York’s 14th congressional district met virtually for two online debates in the last month, “both of which are still available online for voters,” AOC spokeswoman Lauren Hitt said.

Behold the empty chair!
Love, Clint
Her dumb ass arguing/debating a tree stump is such a mismatch in the stumps favor, I might actually watch the MSM try to point out her debating skills. She’s a poster child for abortion and I hate abortion.
She's not so dumb as a box of rocks, but she is charismatic enough to pull off another (yes, another) coup over the voters in her district.
The squad are perfectly placed by cenk whatzizname and they will at least make a reasonable show at the polls.
So reasonable that they will be able to hold up the calling of the vote while they try to rig its outcome.
No one planned on President Trump being not only popular .... but correct in just about everything he's said and done.
We Republicans must mobilize and get the vote out for every R and every R challenging a D
No, really .... THIS time we mean it ...
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION AMERICA HAS AND WILL EVER FACE
That’s what we call a Dummy!
She should just do a pole dance for the DNC.
Better yet, put one of those inflatable sex dolls in the chair. :) :)
Damn, how things change. In 2018 she acted so damn offended when Joe Crowley didn’t show up to a debate against her and sent a representative instead.
She’s been quiet during the virus. She may be still staying home.
She is dumber than a box of rocks.
Her advisers told her not to debate because she is that stupid and she’ll be laughed off the stage.
empty chair debate
Yeah she is dumber than a box of rocks but she knows she can’t debate and show the world how really dumb she is...I hope the other debaters scorch her empty chair...and head...
she might be trying to re-hone her bartending skills.
soros, its soros
it would be sweet if they put a fourth chair there and put her name on it, and asked it questions...
