AOC-backed insurgent topples longtime Brooklyn Assemblyman Felix Ortiz

Another insurgent backed by far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has toppled an entrenched Democrat in Brooklyn.

Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, first elected in 1994, conceded the Democratic Primary race Thursday to challenger Marcela Mitaynes, who was also backed by the Democratic Socialists of America and the Working Families Party.

This disturbs me for at least 3 different reasons. First, this makes AOC think that she has some kind of "kingmaker" influence although she is a stupid-beyond-stupid ignorant commie operative. Second, the woman just elected is a "democratic socialist" (so were the Nazis) who has been busying herself with "community activism" just like Odungo. Third, NYC and surrounding counties have shown a pronounced trend in electing commie rabblerousers into political office. They are empowering radicals in lockstep with commies to be in a position to overthrow our government, to normalize their insane policies, and to take punitive actions against us normal people, particularly conservatives. These election results, make no mistake, are a very ominous sign. What on earth is wrong with people living in NYC? I think perhaps the election of this troublemaker is a result of NYC being a sanctuary city and of ILLEGALS having voted.

Those Democrats created people like AOC. They were already really far to the left, and now they are losing seats to them.

Keep your powder dry. you’re going to need it.

You wrote a very good summary. The increasing election of communists to our government is a very ominous sign. We have the woman from Mogadishu elected to Congress openly saying she wants to overthrow the government, hence violating her oath of office, and the House does NOTHING. No censure; no move to eject her. Nothing.

Conservatives have moved out of the cities, creating a powerful vacuum for the Dems.

Party needed a heavy hitter on their side ,,,,, ;)

Exactly.

New York city has a very large number of immigrants, legal and illegal.

This district probably has a large, perhaps majority percentage of immigrants voting.

AOC better be careful - this gal could eat her for lunch!

[Mr. Jeeves]

Could just be straight-up vote fraud, California-style. Although, the IQ of the average voter is decidedly lower than it used to be.

So so glad I don’t live anywhere near NYC. Feel sorry for those who do.

What on earth do these people eat up there? Must be importing the food that Stacey Abrams eats in GA...

Illegals voting for assemblyman position ?
Isn't that doubly illegal ?
I believe that the illegal population contributed votes, while national progressive organizations
including Spanish media provided the funding and media exposure.

Somebody will need to add another face to this meme of shame.

“”19 hours ago · Democratic socialist Marcela Mitaynes won the District 51 state Assembly seat on July 16 after raking in more absentee votes than 26-year incumbent Félix …””

Those absentee ballots do come in handy!!!

Far too many underestimate AOC and those who back her. She is a lot more dangerous than people are willing to admit.

Your neighbors are Marxists, dude. The ones born there hate the USA as it currently exists and the ones that moved there (legally or otherwise) feel no connection to its traditions and history. That’s what is wrong with NYC.
