AOC blames Eric Adams for ‘demonizing the poor’ after Jordan Neely death
NY Post ^ | 05/10/2023 | Isabel Keane

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a swing at Mayor Eric Adams Tuesday, saying that Jordan Neely — the homeless man who was choked to death on the subway last week — was “killed by the demonizing of the poor by many of our leaders.”

Neely, 30, was having a mental episode and threatening straphangers when another subway rider, later identified as 24-year-old former Marine Daniel Penny, placed him in a chokehold, which killed him.

Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday blamed the Big Apple’s leaders.

“Jordan Neely was killed by public policy. He was killed by the demonizing of the poor by many of our leaders,” the far-left congresswoman told the Cut in an interview Tuesday.

Is there nothing the loud-mouthed bartender does NOT know about public policy and governance? I’m constantly amazed at her intelligence and ability to communicate.

It’s really something how a camera-hogging know-it-all braggart can rise to such fame.

“demonizing of the poor by many of our leaders.”

Are you kidding me?

That isn’t done ENOUGH.

Adams has been a typical race-baiting thug-protecting bastard. Black Dem MO.

How about the demonization of AMERICA as a whole, and the WHITES who made it? No one cares about THAT REALITY.

“Neely, 30, was having a mental episode ...”


What a pleasant, non-judgmental way of saying “acting crazy”.

The “poor” too often behave like demons; no need to “demonize” them.

Mentally ill people belong in institutions, not subways.

The only thing which will change AOC’s thinking is if/when she is herself assaulted or mugged while on the streets of NYC

Doubtful, because she will have her government entourage with her, but one can hope....

Headlines announce “what AOC said about…” like it mattered or like anyone gave a s… Calling that woman a vapid loon does a disservice to vapid loons everywhere.
