Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Illegal aliens are ‘my constituents’
March 15, 2019 | BPR Wire

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called illegal immigrants her constituents.

Cortez asked Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross a question at a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing Thursday.

She led with a quote from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican.

“Mr. Kobach later emailed to you on July 14 writing that the lack of the citizenship question ‘leads to the problem that aliens who do not actually reside in the United States are still counted for congressional apportionment services,’” she said.

“Of course they do reside in the United States. They reside in my district. They’re my constituents,” she added.

She knows the score, and the agenda. Demographic cleansing is the prime Democrat objective.

How can the GOP lose another election if they broadcast this imbecile and her comments in every ad as the face of the Democrat party?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Stupid should burn.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I wonder if she actually spends any time with her illegal immigrant constituents, because it appears she has no interest in serving the  rest of them:

Ocasio-Cortez taking ‘baby steps’ toward finding time for her constituents
By Kevin Sheehan, Nikki Schwab and Ruth Brown
March 21, 2019 | 6:36pm

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday tried to explain her lack of office hours by saying she’s still taking “baby steps” — but said constituents who can’t work with her sporadic schedule should follow her on Twitter.

Almost three months after her inauguration, the freshman congresswoman only recently opened a Queens office and still doesn’t have one in the Bronx. ...

But when asked for a schedule of future events she’d be attending so her constituents could find her, the self-described Democratic socialist claimed she wasn’t “allowed.”

“Due to safety reasons I’m not allowed to, so Capitol Police, uh, yeah, it’s intense, so, Capitol Police recommend that we don’t give specific details about where we will be and when too far in advance,” she said. ...

In a Time cover story published Thursday, Ocasio-Cortez’s staffers said they’d been trained on how to screen visitors because of the mounting number of death threats targeting the freshman lawmaker.

The rattled aides said they now worry whenever they hear a knock on the door of her office on Capitol Hill.
Really, they believe someone has gotten through Capitol security to attack Sandy from the Suburbs? Are they all paranoid?

Oh, and that business about Capitol police not permitting her to announce her schedule? BS.

Fine. Then take the police who should be coming with them to arrest you to.

She seems to have no clue as to who her constituents are - or should be.

‘Her heart is not in The Bronx’: Ocasio-Cortez’s constituents turn against her
By Isabel Vincent
March 30, 2019

Amid her zeal to save the world with the Green New Deal, Rep. ­Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ­ignored residents in her own Bronx back yard.

“I thought AOC would be our savior, but that’s not the case,” complained Roxanne Delgado, a local activist who said she has tried for months to get in touch with the congresswoman for help saving an animal shelter and to clean up parks in the district.

Delgado, 40, says she has made numerous calls to Ocasio-Cortez’s offices in Washington and Queens and sent a barrage of tweets after the freshman lawmaker encouraged residents during a recent visit to a Bronx public library to hit her up on social media.

But she’s heard nothing back.

“NO email or contact on @AOC’s page except DC number which has full #voicemail and no one picks up,” Delgado tweeted on Monday. ...

By contrast, he said, residents’ needs received much more attention under Rep. Joe Crowley, whom Ocasio-Cortez unseated in a surprise primary upset last year.

The longtime congressman’s Bronx district representative, Thomas Messina, regularly attended community board meetings, according to Vitaliano.

“Tommy cared about us,” Vitaliano said. ...Full story at NY Post
I can't believe anyone is surprised by this. So why did they vote out the congressman who actually served them?

It's just a matter of time before she has a seat at the table on "The View".

Fascinating. When Vikings kept going Back to Scotland they did well there.

And that Skat Lund in Old Norse means (roughly) Loot Land.
