Crime spike? What crime spike?
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shrugged off New York City’s frightening rise in crime, suggesting that tough times are forcing parents into committing petty theft to feed their kids.
“They feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens) said last week on a virtual town hall for constituents that was broadcast on her official Facebook page.
**SNIP**
The city recorded 43 shootings in the last week, up more than 300% from the same time period in 2019. Ten people were shot over a bloody July 4 weekend
The progressive lawmaker counterintuitively suggested that cutting more funds from the NYPD would help stem the crime wave, apparently because that money could be channeled into social programs.
“The New York City police department has not been defunded,” she said, referring to proposed 15% cuts in the NYPD’s $6 billion budget. “These cuts aren’t really real. And again, they haven’t even happened yet.”

How many families are being reduced to desperation by the lockdowns destroying their livelihoods?
Quiet Donkey!
We can all ridicule AOC, but remember she just won her primary with > 72% of the votes. So, NYorkers apparently approved whatever she says/does.
Their behavior is not over a loaf of bread. She’s willfully ignorant and her commie followers will repeat these ridiculous lies (and will sound as stupid as AOC). After all, they are such decent people out there and can’t help shooting and looting when they get hangry.
They vote for her because of her contempt for Trump.
It must be more of those Nigerian sandwich thieves.
She was helping the paid agitators and enabling the rioting and lockdowns.
Well the Governor and Mayor did ban Work but not preying on the weak
#AOCStupid is an astounding stupid.

“the dumbest things aoc has said”
No one cares. They wouldn’t care if humans went full cannibalism. People in that city don’t care anymore.
She is a communist. If a communist is not lying, it is because they are not communicating. If a communist is speaking, she is lying. That is why mooselimbs and commies get along so well together. They have a similar frame of reference. They both are tying to bring about totalitarianism, and they both believe lying, cheating, criminal activity is an appropriate way to achieve it.
Just when you think Sandy from Westchester can’t be more idiotic she comes up with another topper
How did she get through BU? Is BU that vapid?
AOC deflected the focus on the real crime increase and shifted it to the increase in shop lifting. Shop lifting is not the same as violent crime.
More great advertising material for the RNC.
If I had to guess, it probably had something to do with slinging beers and other things at the Faculty Lounge.
Maybe she had male professors and used the Kamalalala Harris method of advancement.
Might work with female professors too now that I think about it.
Called it but, shes 3 weeks earky.
This’ll be a thing before August 15th and the news will bemoan what they created
