New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo lambasted politicians such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others over Amazon's decision to leave New York City. Opponents of the deal with the tech giant had "put their own narrow political interests above their community," he said.
"[A] small group [of] politicians put their own narrow political interests above their community -- which poll after poll showed overwhelmingly supported bringing Amazon to Long Island City -- the state's economic future and the best interests of the people of this state," Cuomo said in the statement, which did not mention Ocasio-Cortez or other lawmakers by name. "The New York State Senate has done tremendous damage. They should be held accountable for this lost economic opportunity."
In the statement issued by his office, Gov. Cuomo mentioned that Amazon chose the Empire State because it is "the capital of the world and the best place to do business," adding that missing out on Amazon is a lost opportunity to diversify "our economy away from real estate and Wall Street."
Cuomo also said New York lost out on an opportunity to further cement its status "as an emerging center for tech and was an extraordinary economic win not just for Queens and New York City, but for the entire region, from Long Island to Albany's nanotech center."

Get popcorn. Love it when Democrats lambast other Democrats.
Ocasio-Cortez is getting to be a real pain in the you know what. I would love to know what other Democrats say about her and her ilk privately.
Cuomo is right, but I enjoy seeing him have a bad time.
No one's going to need business when Alexandria Occasional-Cortex takes over! Well all be working in the fields owned by the Workers' Communes, keeping fit and enjoying life under the New Whirled Socialist Order!
Won't need luxuries or vacations either! A-O-C and her friends in the Government will enjoy them for us! We'll watch them at the bi-weekly Movie Night at the Communal Recreation Hall! Yeah!
Andrew Mengele Cuomo and Alexandia Ocasio-Kotex going at each other; rattlesnakes eating their own. Awesome graphic!
The rest of the Swamp are doing the same thing. May they all reside in Hades together for eternity.
Well, as we will all be dead in 12 years—why worry? World will be gone in 2031. New York has fallen into the Socialist 3rd world slim pit. People will be escaping there to seek out a better life in New Jersey.
Corporate welfare is never a good idea. She was actually representing the interests of her constituents here, because Amazon was going to be moving into the Congressional district NEXT TO hers ... while her constituents and the rest of NYC's taxpayers have to foot the bill for all the infrastructure improvements that are desperately needed by the city.
Andy, Andy, Andy. Get with the program, eh?

Hi.
I’m looking at the top picture and I’m thinking Star Trek. Then I remembered Ron Howard’s brother and “Tranya.”
Don’t remember the episode.
