Fed-up AOC constituents in Bronx, Queens mock absentee ‘rock star’ who’s never in the district: ‘This woman has done nothing’

Frustration with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has reached a breaking point on her home turf, with fed up Queens and Bronx constituents telling The Post they’re sick and tired of being second fiddle to the jet-setting socialist’s primary focus — herself.

Her district offices in the Bronx and Queens offer little to justify the $1.9 million the congresswoman gets to run them — one is only open a single weekday and the other is closed on Fridays, with phones that go unanswered and constituents urged to discuss their problems “by appointment only.”

AOC’s town halls used to be monthly events – now are only held once in a blue moon, there’s virtually no way to get in a question, and sometimes she only phones in and doesn’t bother coming in person, galled constituents said.

“Look over in Yonkers “

Yorktown Heights, where she is actually from. The archetype of the “leafy suburb”. No mean streets there.

There was a decent amount of AIPAC money available for a Ritchie Torres-style primary challenger last year, but no takers. The offer is out again this year with a bigger price tag given the success in 2024.

It ain’t “America” in Nueva York anymore. And sure as hell ain’t Kintuck...

Just curious, did you remember from a previous post that I live in Central Kentucky?

BTW, my county has only about 6% blacks, but I never see confrontations at say, Wal-Mart. I do see long-bearded rednecks and blacks laughing it up though.
