Critics are blasting Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for staging a “photo op” Tuesday in the US ZIP code hardest hit by the coronavirus.

A small group gathered in the virally blighted neighborhood of Corona, Queens, in AOC’s district, to hear a pitch for the Federal Emergency Management Agency to offer funeral assistance.

The gathering — convened as officials order ordinary New Yorkers to stay home — gave TV networks an opportunity to shoot footage of the duo, but there was no live feed to allow the event to be covered from afar, let alone a virtual press conference as most public officials have turned to in a bid to reduce exposures.

“We certainly all know what AOC looks like. There’s no need to risk everyone else’s safety by dragging folks on your staff and the press out for a photo op,” said Republican City Councilman Joe Borelli of Staten Island.

No. They can do a Go Fund Me at the capital. Those are her constituents and she should pay out of her salary.

There was a company in the UK who took a lot of heat for this campaign, in protest over the high cost of funerals

Funeral assistance? New York City will bury you for free in a grave of their choice. Beggars can't be choosers.

So only politicians can go out without a mask and without fear that the virus will get them.

Demons must have immunity from it.

It IS the “Corona virus”, after all.

Sales of the beer may be down, too, Seriously, the Mexicans should come up with a new name to brand their import, given the negative connotations that have arisen.

Look at what happened to Ayds dietary candy.

To show how toxic the media and FB are, my son (who never watches the news), said he saw on FB how they were buryng people in mass graves in NYC

I had to give him a short, fatherly lesson on the “Fake News”

The only person in the photo wearing a mask and observing social distancing is the man in the background. AOC and Schumer are too important to set a good example by wearing even masks.
