US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez turned tail on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue to avoid a potential Republican challenger as they both marched in the National Puerto Rican Day Parade on Sunday, her political opponent said. Talk-radio producer Rich Valdes told The Post that he tried to challenge the freshman Democratic congresswoman to a debate on the merits of capitalism versus socialism when he spotted her near West 47th Street. But Ocasio-Cortez “cut her handshaking short, jerked her hand back and jetted to the other side of the street,” Valdes said. “She literally ran!” he said. “I thought this was a good time to try and get a response but I honestly only saw the back of her head as she trotted across the street.” Valdes’ account was echoed by Guardian Angels founder and radio host Curtis Sliwa, who said the incident unfolded when Valdes approached the progressive firebrand about 12:30 p.m. “As soon as she saw him she did a pirouette — a spin — and she ran north on Fifth Avenue, ahead of her delegation, just to get away from Rich,” he said. “I heard Rich yelling after her, ‘OK, AOC. You can run — but you can’t hide!'” Sliwa’s wife, lawyer Nancy Sliwa, also snapped photos that show Valdes walking several steps behind Ocasio-Cortez, then facing the camera with a look of exasperation. On Thursday, Valdes told members of the Queens Village Republican Club that he would move from New Jersey to Ocasio-Cortez’ district, which covers parts of The Bronx and Queens, in an effort to unseat her. Ocasio-Cortez’s spokesman, Corbin Trent, denied that she ran away from Valdes. “She kept walking! The parade moved! It’s a procession! Give me a break,” he said.

Ocasio-Cortez Flashes Far Right Hand Sign, Does She Deserve Context?
Tim Pool video.
great find.
Lol!! And THAT’S where my screename comes from.
Why the h does it need 17 minutes to show a hand sign?
That’s typical socialist behavior. They like to tout socialism when they have all the say, so that they can say nothing but good about it while being non-specific, but they don’t like debates or to discuss socialism in detail. To them, socialism is best when it’s nondescript.
Huh. Guess I underestimated her. This is literally the smartest thing she's done since getting elected to congress. I'm surprised she managed to think of it all by herself.
It´s going to be just like with Hillarious Rotten Criminal. They have to give her the questions and answers in advance or she will not make any sense.
What if he sneaked up behind her (Ninja Style) grabbed her in a ‘lighthearted’ bearhug, and said ‘Finally, we meet!”
Careful though, she may know Judo.
I know. I know. Idle fantasy.
I hope she gets voted out of office. It may seem funny but there are enough stupid people out there to turn this country into the crap she’s pushing.
Well I’ll be a suck egg mule!
that’s about an 85% democrat district. the republican isn’t going to win. if she loses, it will be in the primary.
Michael Jackson ? I thought he was passed?
SOMEBODY knows where the camera is....
Tlaib looks like a crack whore and AOC looks demonically possessed
GMTA. My first thought on seeing that picture too.
Agree. I believe that Pelousi said a Democrat glass of water would win in that District.
