Democrat Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) almost single-handedly caused Amazon to pull out of a deal to bring a new headquarters to her home state.Tens of thousands of jobs and billions upon billions in revenue went out the window.
Days ago, a billboard was erected in Times Square blasting the freshman lawmaker for her actions.
Job Creators Network put up a second billboard that stated: “Hey AOC, Saw your wack tweet.”
The criticism of Ocasio-Cortez “comes after Ocasio-Cortez vigorously defended her role in sinking Amazon’s move to New York City on Tuesday in the face of bipartisan criticism,” Fox News reported. “The freshman Democratic New York congresswoman has faced days of criticism from normally friendly media voices and fellow Democrats over her role in Amazon’s decision to pull back from building a $2.5 billion campus in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens.”
New York City Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio had to correct Ocasio-Cortez for incorrectly thinking that “the $3 billion in tax breaks that were going to go to Amazon still existed after Amazon pulled out of NYC,” The Daily Wire reported.Ocasio-Cortez has announced she’ll be going on a nationwide tour to promote her “Green New Deal,” a project that would cost tens of trillions to the American taxpayer.
Twitter took notice and AOC was quickly and resoundingly mocked.
It doesn’t look as though Alexandria has public opinion on her side.
But launching a 15-city tour while pushing legislation that calls for net-zero emissions while making air travel obsolete seems contradictory, and actually defies logic.
