AOC’s Bizarre Explanation For NYC Crime Wave

(Headline USA) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., claimed the increase in thefts and violent crimes in New York City is tied to the expiration of the child tax credit last year.

She said she has engaged with “hospitals, doctors, and social workers” who all told her the surge in violence has been driven by young men. Those young men turn to crime when they feel like they have no other choice, Ocasio-Cortez told the New Yorker.

“We run away from substantive discussions about this, we don’t want to say some of the things that are obvious, like, Gee, the child-tax credit just ran out, on December 31st, and now people are stealing baby formula,” she said.

Ocasio Cortez continued: “We don’t want to have that discussion. We want to say these people are criminals or we want to talk about ‘people who are violent,’ instead of ‘environments of violence,’ and what we’re doing to either contribute to that or dismantle that.”

Criminals aren’t “shady figures in the bush jumping out from a corner,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. more

  1. Criminals aren’t “shady figures in the bush jumping out from a corner,” Ocasio-Cortez continued.

    She’s right, of course.

    DOSE guys jumpin’ outta da bush are either boogeymen from her childhood or Republicans who wanna have sex with her.

  2. …Mr. O’Rourke may have passed, but his truths remain very much alive. Too bad he never got to AOC, but “reading” probably isn’t her ‘thing’ anyway…

    “There’s been too much barbering about poverty and drugs , as though some pure , hopeless cause – and – effect relationship existed. As though if you fired Thurgood Marshall and took his bank account, he’d be cracking down in the Port Authority men’s room tomorrow.”
    -P.J. O’Rourke, “Parliament Of Whores”

    …obviously he would not. Many come from poverty without crime, unless AOC would have us believe that a man Ben Carson is only a neurosurgeon by way of hawking stolen deoderant or that Condoleezza Rice paid for piano lessons with purloined peanut butter cups..

  3. Statements/explanations like this aren’t meant for normal, rational Americans – they are meant for her constituents so these people will keep sending her back to Congress. When you look at AOC and other members of the “Squad,” who says that retarded people don’t have representation in Congress?

  4. It’s nice she talks to “hospitals”. I wonder if such buildings answer back in her head? Probably.

    …perhaps she should ask them about garbage disposals, since the number of things she’s displayed specific ignorance of is pretty large, so perhaps she can use her discussions with animate structures to fill in some of her other gaps…

  5. “Gimme all yo’ baby formula now Muthahfuckah!”

    “Yo! D’Meatreauxs!… Don’t loot that big screen TV… Git dem Pampers over there instead!”

    If you get the answer right, then you’re a “white supremacist”.

  6. Young men join gangs because they want to live the thug life as glamorized by the super bowl halftime crew. Work is overrated and you can’t do drugs and have a good job too. And is she implying that they want to support their children!

  7. In 2020, the cretin said NYC crime was due to people “stealing bread to feed their children.” Like all Marxists, she is a One Trick Pony, with a simpleton’s cartoonish understanding of the way the world works .
