Her Heart Is Not In The BronxBut Her Head Is In Brownsville

Amid her zeal to save the world with the Green New Deal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ignored residents in her own Bronx back yard.
“I thought AOC would be our savior, but that’s not the case,” complained Roxanne Delgado, a local activist who said she has tried for months to get in touch with the congresswoman for help saving an animal shelter and to clean up parks in the district.
Delgado, 40, says she has made numerous calls to Ocasio-Cortez’s offices in Washington and Queens and sent a barrage of tweets after the freshman lawmaker encouraged residents during a recent visit to a Bronx public library to hit her up on social media.
But she’s heard nothing back.
“NO email or contact on @AOC’s page except DC number which has full #voicemail and no one picks up,” Delgado tweeted on Monday.
The Post made several calls to both the Washington and Queens offices last week. The same recording at both numbers gives Ocasio-Cortez’s Web site and doesn’t allow a caller to leave a message.
Another Bronx constituent told a community gathering last month that they needed Ocasio-Cortez for a sitdown with post-office officials to sort out difficulties he was having with mail delivery.
“I want AOC or a representative from AOC to be there,” Anthony Vitaliano, a former cop and Community Board 11 member, said at a Feb. 28 board meeting.
By contrast, he said, residents’ needs received much more attention under Rep. Joe Crowley, whom Ocasio-Cortez unseated in a surprise primary upset last year.

Constituent service for a Congress-critter includes intervening with local officials (as well as Federal agencies) on behalf of citizens.
It is the boring grunt work of the Congressional offices. If they do it well the incumbent has a lifetime job. If they do it badly the Congress-critter will face a primary challenge almost immediately.
Re 63: That was funny.
Anyone who is looking to Congress people to be their savior is looking in the wrong place. This new breed is not in it for benevolence.
These constituents are complete idiots.
Omg! Sounds like a Jim and Tammy baker broadcast!
was quite obvious before the election but glad a few are seeing the light.
“Would be a real shame if the voters dump her next year.”
Brandon Straka has mentioned opposing her. I don’t buy in to his lifestyle, but his anti-Democrat ideals are strong, and he has the charisma these voters apparently are drawn to. I think he could take her down and take her out.
“she will have her phone number changed to BR-549”
Ha! That was so funny on “Hee Haw” .
“Eventually someone like AOC will come along and actually be a savior. For about 3 and 1/2 years.”
Yes, but I’ve always believed that “person” will be attractive and compelling. I don’t think we have to worry about AOC in that role.
“’Does it not feel as if some special hand is guiding Obama on his journey, I mean, as he has said, the utter improbability of it all?’
— Daily Kos”
Why, yes! Yes, it did. But not a GOOD “special hand”.
“I thought AOC would be our savior, but that’s not the case,”
Roxanne didn’t recognize nutso within the first two seconds of AOC. Bit slow there.
They're SSDD to my mind. Same 💩, different Dems.
Joe Crowley.
What did Ed Koch say amusingly when he was kicked out of office? “The people rejected me and the people must be punished!”
You reap what you sew, Bronxites.
Congress people lean on the people who DO run animal shelters and clean up parks. Al D’Amato wasn’t called Senator Pothole for nothing.
I want to know where those teeth are at any given time, this is a weapon
“I thought AOC would be our savior, but that’s not the case,”
Ha ha, she fooled you ha ha ha....because you are a fool....ha ha ha.
The NYC citizens who voted for AOC should turn in their voter registration cards, and voluntarily turn themselves in to be committed to a mental institution.
The illegal aliens who voted for AOC can get the hell out of this country and never come back.
The dead who voted for AOC can stay where they are at, just don’t vote for Demonicrats anymore.
she will run somewhere else, so soros has a foul mouth piece
