Crime is exploding in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district while she stays silent. NYPD data shows a shocking 70% jump in major crimes since the liberal firebrand took office in 2019. This is more than double the city-wide increase of 30% during the same time period.
The situation is even worse in some neighborhoods. In Queens’ 110th Precinct, crime has skyrocketed by a whopping 105% since AOC started representing the area. This area has become a hotbed for prostitution and gang violence while the congresswoman jets around the country.
Former AOC supporters are now turning against her. Elmhurst resident Guadalupe Alvarez didn’t hold back, telling reporters that AOC “doesn’t live in the neighborhood” and “doesn’t care” about her constituents. Many hardworking Americans in her district feel abandoned by their own representative.
This disaster is what happens when radical leftists push to “defund the police” and then disappear. AOC made herself famous by attacking law enforcement and supporting dangerous progressive policies. Now regular people in her district are paying the price with their safety.
Murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, grand larceny, and auto theft have all surged under AOC’s watch. Families can’t walk safely in their own neighborhoods anymore. Local businesses struggle as crime drives customers away.
The true victims of these failed liberal policies are everyday Americans. “I can’t wait to get out of here,” said Alvarez, who has lived in the district her whole life. “I could never have a family here.” This is the real-world impact of Democrats’ soft-on-crime approach.
Local leaders are stepping up where AOC has failed. New York City Council candidate Ramses Frias has joined concerned citizens in demanding action. They know what common sense Americans everywhere understand – you can’t fix crime by attacking police and coddling criminals.
While AOC builds her national profile and spouts radical ideas on TV, her own voters suffer. She hasn’t even bothered to respond to questions about the crime wave. This is the ugly truth about progressive politics – big talk on the national stage while neighborhoods crumble back home.
