From the second that far left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was first elected to workplace, she has made it clear that representing her constituents was a secondary consideration. She sees herself as a nationwide determine and the liberal media aids her on this by treating her like one.
Nobody can level to a factor she has executed for the folks she was elected to characterize and sadly for her, these persons are lastly beginning to determine that out.
She is spending all of her time touring the nation with Bernie Sanders on their ‘Combat Oligarchy’ tour whereas her district crumbles.

Fed-up AOC constituents in Bronx, Queens mock absentee ‘rock star’ who’s by no means within the district: ‘This lady has executed nothing’
Frustration with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has reached a breaking level on her house turf, with fed up Queens and Bronx constituents telling The Put up they’re sick and bored with being second fiddle to the jet-setting socialist’s major focus — herself.
Her district places of work within the Bronx and Queens supply little to justify the $1.9 million the congresswoman will get to run them — one is simply open a single weekday and the opposite is closed on Fridays, with telephones that go unanswered and constituents urged to debate their issues “by appointment solely.”
AOC’s city halls was once month-to-month occasions – now are solely held as soon as in a blue moon, there’s nearly no technique to get in a query, and typically she solely telephones in and doesn’t hassle coming in individual, galled constituents stated.
“This lady has executed nothing for the neighborhood she was as soon as once more elected to serve,” stated Lauro Vazquez of Woodside, Queens.
Vazquez echoed a sentiment heard in all corners of AOC’s bi-borough district — that they and the “mundane” points they care about — jobs, public security, site visitors — are an afterthought for a consultant along with her eyes on the nationwide stage.
AOC is just following the Elizabeth Warren playbook. Ignore the native job you have been elected to do and place your self as a nationwide determine who solely responds to larger, nationwide points.
If the folks in AOC’s district need somebody who’s going to really characterize them, they merely have to exchange her with another person. It’s not like she’s going to alter.
