AOC is willing to sacrifice anything to push her progressive agenda for America. No one is safe from her radical plans.
And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was exposed for destroying thousands of jobs.
AOC has been the main architect behind the so-called “Green New Deal” – a litany of reforms that would slash jobs and raise energy prices.
To her and her ilk, the planet is set to burst into flames unless we fundamentally destroy our economy.
It doesn’t matter how many jobs have to be lost or how many families are thrown into poverty, she’ll do anything because she thinks the sky is falling.
The Job Creators Network is blasting Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) with a giant billboard in Times Square, as she continues to brag about her involvement in delaying Amazon’s plans to create a second headquarters in Queens, New York, a project that would have brought 25,000 new jobs to sections of her congressional district.
“If Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent as much time worrying about creating jobs versus killing them, the U.S. economy would be in a lot better shape than it is today. Her recent victory lap over killing thousands of good paying jobs in New York City is only the latest example of her economic ineptitude,” Alfredo Ortiz, JCN President and CEO, said in a statement.
“Since taking office, she has supported policies that are killing economic opportunity in states like New York, California, and Illinois—incentivizing residents to move to places like Florida and Texas. In fact, for the first time ever, there are more people working in the Sunshine State than in New York, according to federal government data,” Ortiz said.
Cortez is posing in the infamous “Tax the Rich” gown she wore to the Met Gala — a stunt that the Office of Congressional Ethics now says provides “substantial reason to believe” that Cortez (D-NY) “accepted impermissible gifts associated with her attendance at the Met Gala in 2021,” which “may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law.”
Cortez took to Twitter this week to comment on Amazon’s decision to halt building on a headquarters near Washington.
I know I’ll never get an apology for that time, but it was worth it.
We protected NYers from a scam deal to drain public dollars from schools & infrastructure in exchange for empty promises of “Amazon jobs” w/ 0 guarantees or guardrails. Sadly, cities who took it are suffering.

AOC has under flak from all angles of late, notably from Shark Tank star and entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary, who declared last week that many blue states are “uninvestable” and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is amazing at eliminating employment.
Shark Tank's @kevinolearytv calls New York an "uninvestable" regulatory and tax environment, then attacks Rep. @AOC as "great at killing jobs, she kills jobs by the thousands."

And with gas prices still hovering around $3.50/gallon on average, AOC has is doing everything in her power to stop the U.S. from lowering the price.
The Willow Project, a massive new drilling operation set to take place in Alaska, would deliver much needed oil and jobs to the country.
But instead of looking at the fact that all of America still needs oil and gas, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is using her influence to pressure Joe Biden to can the project by retweeting environmentalist groups.
The Biden Administration seems ready to approve a massive new drilling project in Alaska that would pollute as much as 76 coal power plants do each year and devastate wildlife.
Biden’s climate legacy is at stake.
