Ocasio-Cortez Slams 'Billionaire-funded' & ‘Wack’ Times Square Amazon Billboard That Criticizes Her
Daily Mail UK ^ | 2/22/2019 | Bhvishya Patel

The message dedicated to the congresswoman reads: '25,000 lost NYC jobs, $4 billion in lost wages, $12 billion in lost economic activity for NY — thanks for nothing, AOC!'

Yesterday the politician responded to the billboard's message in a public post to her 3.2million followers. The U.S representative wrote: 'Few things effectively communicate the power we've built in fighting dark money & anti-worker policies like billionaire-funded groups blowing tons of cash on wack billboards (this one is funded by the Mercers).

She further went on to say: 'Billionaires paying to put up anti-progressive propaganda in Times Square is like the obscenely rich version of the scene where Michael Scott points to the Bubba Gump and saying ''This is it, this is the heart of civilization, right here''.'

'(PS fact that it's in Times Sq tells you this isn't for/by NYers).'

Amazon announced its decision to abandon plans for a second headquarters in New York last week. The multinational company explained in a statement that 'a number of state and local politicians' had opposed the idea.

In a statement submitted to Fox News, the Job Creators Network president and CEO Alfredo Ortiz said: 'AOC has barely been in elected office and she is already acting like a typical Washington politician by attacking an organization because she can’t defend her position.

'AOC cost New Yorkers 25,000 jobs and $4 billion in annual wages.

On DM, best post I read so far:

“AOC is the kind of person who believes we can land a man on the sun if we do it at night.”

(It’s probably true!)

Notice the billboard for AOC is directly under the Ripley's Believe it or Not billboard. Love that.

... the Job Creators Network president and CEO Alfredo Ortiz ...

My prediction: AOC gets defeated in the Democratic primary by another Hispanic.

LOL! She probably thinks Volvo is part of her anatomy.

This dingbat thinks it's an "anti-worker policy" for Amazon to employ 25,000 people in New York City?

I like it when the Left is infighting. With their Anti-White coalition being as tenuous as it is, this is likely to continue.

A hand-picked one that will listen to the RAT Old Guard's advice.

LOL. Reminds me of the old Ali G Show episode where Ali G interviewed Buzz Aldrin. See if you can find it on YouTube.

“dark money & anti-worker policies”

What the hell is she talking about? I know an acquaintance that works for Amazon. Her salary is very green and her work situation is something to be envied.

The media loves AOC. By the time she hits 40 she will be worth a half billion dollars. TV show, book tours, speaking fees, you name it.

AOC is feeling the heat. Big mistake making enemies of Cuomo and DeBlasio.

AOC has a pretty big “Whack” mouth foor a slime politician who does not even have a constituency office in Brooklyn to represent those who elected her.

She has all the makings of a crook. She will survive in politics for how long?

Not long.
