One good thing about AOC is that the cartoonists are not afraid to draw her, unlike certain other more powerful Dem critters who aren't getting anywhere near the ridicule they deserve.

A Republican politician who did such a thing as this would never, never be allowed to live it down. Never. The MSM would hound them with it to their grave, and see to it that their name was forever associated with the killing of jobs for their constituents and region.

She didn’t destroy any jobs. She just made sure those jobs weren’t going towards New York’s tax base.

She did not drive them out. There was a huge mob that did not want them there. She just glommed on to them.

Apparently the location is surrounded by housing projects.
Amazon should have known better. They were surely going to be held-up for some form of reparations.

I'm not seeing the difference.

I’m not so sure. Her district demographic primarily consists of low-info voters who watch a lot of television. She has made enemies of Cuomo and DeBlasio. They will be running a lot of hit ads against her, they will be low blows, and they will provide plenty of financial support for her primary opponent. (I could be wrong of course.)

She’s always laughing because of all those she has believing that she is Chaquita Khrushchev. I’ll bet she busted a gut laughing at this billboard.

Not brave enough to put her pic on the billboard. Just as well. She would have been found not guilty here.

She is passionate for the commie cause but not too savvy in picking her battles. We shall see if she learns from her mistakes and recalibrates or just continues on as a blind rules-based ideologue.

I really wanted to see what those city jerk-wads were going to do when robots are running their stupid ***es over at work.

Living over the NY border and having my town completely overrun with their nasty attitudes, Hillary stickers and voting habits I really, REALLY want to unleash a robot army that just runs them over and has them fleeing with their hands waving in the air.

AOC: one and done. I am actually shocked at how fast she has flamed out.
