Democratic California political leaders have remained silent on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s comment appearing to doubt the existence of smash-and-grab robberies.
"We have to talk about specifics because, for example, we’re actually seeing a lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out," Ocasio-Cortez told The Washington Times in an interview last week. "I believe it’s a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data didn’t back it up."
Fox News reached out to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press team, Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s communication’s director, Sen. Alex Padilla’s press secretary, as well as Mayor London Breed’s and Mayor Eric Garcetti’s respective press teams. Fox News did not receive any response on whether the elected officials agreed with Ocasio-Cortez’s comment.
Republican politicians and business leaders, however, have been vocal in their condemnation of the New York Democrat’s remarks in light of the repeated smash-and-grab crimes that are rocking California.
"I don’t know what data she is talking about," said Rep. Rodney Davis, an Illinois Republican, told the Washington Times.
"Respectfully, the Congresswoman has no idea what she is talking about. Both the data and stack of video evidence makes fairly clear that this is a growing problem in need of solutions," Jason Brewer, Retail Industry Leaders Association senior executive vice president of communications, told the outlet. "If she is not concerned with organized theft and increasingly violent attacks on retail employees, she should just say that."

They want you to believe them and not your own eyes.
Time for Chiquita to go back to selling Margaritas and street tacos.
#AOCstupid
Greater stupid than any known stupid in the universe.
Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.

Because they’re scared Shiiteless of her.
The RILA is HQ'd in the swamp of Wash DC, he probably voted for the party that tolerates and downplays this crap.
Sandy Ocasio (her name until she ran for office) knows those are happening and this is straight up Alinsky spin. She and other democRATs are NOT stupid, they are insidious and evil. Once the left realized they couldn’t change a state via demographic shifts they are even trying another way. I saw an article on their latest target, “NBC Hypes Biden DOJ Push to Rig Texas Electoral Map for Dems”, and you can give that a look at NewsBusters. Democrats thought illegal aliens would do it but now they have to step in themselves. Everything the left does is on purpose, and communists play a great long game so think moves ahead as they do.
Just a weak gaslighting attempt.
She isn’t stupid. She was a bartender named Sandy Ocasio who is now know world wide and makes millions. She is insidious and evil, and you’d do well to stop underestimating her.
BU should be ashamed they gave her a degree.
I don’t agree. She is not pretending to be dumb as a bag of hammers. She really is.
No doubt! Who would send their kid there for a business degree now?
With a locked-in seat, she may well be in Congress for decades and eventually enough seniority for top committee slots or even Speaker someday when Dems are in control.
Spot on.
AOC doesn’t appear to have blazing intellect, however her Marxist advisers/handlers do.
Does she really have a locked in seat?
Let’s just say she “squeaked out” a victory last Nov with 72% of the vote.
72% I had no idea, must be a whole lot of stupid people in her district.
roughly 50% of her district in Bronx/Queens is “hispanic” voters
she’s there for life unless the demographic changes for some reason.
