Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Saturday gave her backing to a New York City anti-police protest, in which demonstrators jumped subway turnstiles and yelled anti-cop slogans to protest a crackdown on fare evasion and allegations of police brutality.
“Ending mass incarceration means challenging a system that jails the poor to free the rich,” the left-wing freshman congresswoman tweeted, retweeting a video of protesters jumping subway turnstiles in Brooklyn Friday night.
"Arresting people who can’t afford a $2.75 fare makes no one safer and destabilizes our community."
"New Yorkers know that, they’re not having it, and they’re standing up for each other."

The bartender knows that Hillary is from NY and rides the subway, no?
The should break out the buckshot.
Was there ever any doubt what side she is on?
The rat oath at their swearing in is a complete lie.
Bye Bye AOC... We hardly knew ya’
Her constituents will re-elect her, they are as she is. They’ve done a lot of street interviews in her district, they should all be sent on a fully paid vacation for a month in Venezuela
Libtard Progressives support anything anarchy or anarchist related.....a cancerous sh*t party that is spreading its cancer throughout the world. So frakin’ sad and pathetic.....
She’s making the dem party look bad... As if it’s not already in the toilet.
The party bigwigs will not tolerate that.
Free subway rides for all! (It’s a basic human right, dontcha know...)
AOC is the leader of the party. Pelosi, speaker in name only.
Sure she did! Brought her back to when she was a bartender and she stole from the tip jar
It would be interesting to see how she reacted is someone very poor stole money from her either through her purse or hacked bank account. I wonder if she’d be so generous in her beliefs that they do no jail time.
They’re missing out on so much fare money, how can she support this?
Oh, make the rich pay their fair fare...
>>Free subway rides for all! (It’s a basic human right, dontcha know...)<<
After which it shuts down and then NO ONE has a subway to ride. Typical leftist OPM solution when you don’t have OPM.
Raise taxes on New Yorkers for the free rides, then the fare skippers can spend more money on drugs and cigarettes and don’t forget alcohol.
True dat.
But how are we to know who can't afford the $2.75 fare? Will all passengers, upon boarding, be subjected to means testing? Or will the individual turnstile-jumper's say so be sufficient?
What happens to the rule of law, when there's a separate law for the poor?
And, frankly, I'd feel safer in a subway car full of millionaires than in a subway car full of people who claim that they "can't afford" the $2.75 fare.
Regards,
Did anyone expect her to support the police?
AOC can protest by taking off her shirt and making me a sandwich.
I’m not really interested in what Mr. Ed has to say...
The New York poor are not required.
While they have a right to life, they have no right to travel by subway for free.
AOC has a notch on her belt. She drove Carl Ichan and Donald Trump to Florida
