It takes a Democrat village to raise this level of idiot.
The Democrat Party is the pro-criminal party. They appease criminals because of the votes they represent. This is why Democrat controlled cities are the most dangerous in the United States. The current state of the Democrat Party should scare the hell out of every rational American. We could be one election away from this insanity going national.
AOC on increased NYC crime: "Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren't paying their rent & are scared to pay their rent & so they go out & they need to feed their child & they don't have money so… they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry." pic.twitter.com/oHSTWWJZ6a

AOC blames economy for NYC crime wave — not NYPD cuts
By New York Post, July 13, 2020
US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday bizarrely claimed that hungry New Yorkers stealing bread were behind an “uptick in crime” in the city — despite the fact that overall crime is down, while shootings and murders have soared.
“Do we think this has to do with the fact that there’s record unemployment in the United States right now? The fact that people are at a level of economic desperation that we have not seen since the great recession?” she said in a Thursday town hall, a clip of which was shared by The Hill on Twitter Sunday.
“Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren’t paying their rent and are scared to pay their rent. And so they go out and they need to feed their child and they don’t have money. So, you maybe have to — they’re put in a position where they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry that night.”
The divisive rep shot down claims that a reduced NYPD budget has led to more chaos, arguing that Gotham was slipping before the department’s budget was cut July 1.
“Keep in mind that this uptick in crime that’s happening right now is with a $6 billion New York City Police Department budget. We have shoved more and more and more money into the NYPD. It has not prevented this uptick in crime,” she said in a Thursday town hall, a clip of which was shared by The Hill on Twitter Sunday.
While shootings and murders have skyrocketed this year, overall crime has been trending down. There have been a little over 1,300 fewer major crimes reported this year, for a 3-percent reduction over 2019, according to NYPD data.
Ocasio-Cortez also slammed the NYPD for blaming bail reform for a rise in city shootings, as she appeared to cite an exclusive Post report debunking the bogus claim.
Despite 528 shootings through June 30, up 46 percent from last year, only one person released under the new law were charged in a shooting.

“The current state of the Democrat Party should scare the hell out of every rational American.”
They certainly have my attention. This coming election is a matter of national security. The Democratic Party must be stopped, or they will destroy the country.

AOC is proof of a failed education system, as she continues to out do herself demonstrating her ignorance & her inability to understand how economics & business works. AOC & Ilhan Omar are unqualified to be the House of Representatives. Each is anti-govt., UNAmerican. I accuse each of being TRAITORS, QUISLINGS & DEMAND justice to be served swiftly,
so Lady Justice & Lady Liberty are satisfied! kNOw mORe abUSe.

Granted, it takes a democraptic village, to raise someone with this level of stupidity. But, just how stupid are the the (did I mention stupid?) voters, that decided, this moron should represent them? Does the ballot, in this area, have pictures of the candidates on it? Or are they little drawings of elephants and jackasses?
With a comment, if you vote for the jackass, you get free stuff.
