Every New Yorker -- and tourist -- will now know that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Opens a New Window. , D-N.Y., is being partially blamed for Amazon's Opens a New Window. recent pullout of its planned headquarters in the city's borough of Queens.
A new billboard funded by the Job Creators Network debuted on Wednesday in Times Square calling out Ocasio-Cortez for her role in Amazon's canceled plans Opens a New Window. for the new headquarters, known as HQ2.
The billboard -- which will be located on 42nd street near 8th Avenue for one week beginning on Wednesday -- is headlined "Amazon Pullout, Thanks for Nothing, AOC."

So they are saying trickle down economics works?
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.
Can any New Yorker read English?
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.
Ha! If the dems keep this up the Republicans are going to need a bigger tent.
I'm not seeing the difference.
She’ll probably tell them to “learn to code” .... oh wait that’s what all the past journalists are doing....
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.)
I effin love it. Too bad none of her constituents can read.
I love it! And the Head of that Organization is a Latino too. Classic... and right in the heart of Times Square.
LOL - friggin great.
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.
