Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., faces heavy criticism after dismissing fears regarding the crime spike.
Desi Cuellar, a U.S. veteran and New York congressional candidate who is looking to challenge the congresswoman in 2022, told “Fox & Friends First” Wednesday that AOC’s comments were “disgraceful.”
“I mean, to be honest, it’s disgraceful, it’s her downplaying it all, saying that it’s just headlines about percentage increases. It just goes to show that she’s willing to dehumanize her own voters, just to reshape the narrative. And for her to say that it’s just hysteria, as if it’s all in our heads. And it makes her as cold and callous about people losing their lives as Cuomo was when he downplayed the COVID-19 nursing home deaths.
