GOP moves in on Queens socialist turf to challenge AOC, Tiffany Caban

By Carl Campanile

Republican stalwarts are striking at the heart of the socialist movement in New York City — the Queens neighborhoods represented by US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Councilwoman Tiffany Caban.

“We’re going into the belly of the beast of the Democratic Socialists of America in New York City,” said Curtis Sliwa, the 2021 GOP mayoral candidate behind the creation of the Ronald Reagan Republican Club in Astoria.

“We’re going to take on AOC and Caban,” added Sliwa, referring to the prominent DSA members.

Sliwa vowed Republicans will run a candidate against Caban this year and AOC next year, with the goal of forming an alliance with moderate Democrats who believe the pols are out of touch on issues such as crime and taxes.

“This is Concord and Lexington,” said Sliwa, the Guardian Angels founder, referring to the first two battles of the American Revolution. “We’re talking to regular people in Astoria. They don’t support defunding the police and defunding the jails.”

I wish them the best of luck, and might even contribute some money to them; however, I don't hold out any great hopes.  For every NYC'er who's disgusted by what the libs/progs/dems have done to NYC, there are at least two others who think what they've done is the bee's knees and that any failures can be chalked up to not trying hard enough or throwing enough taxpayer money at it.

Indeed. Good luck, but it's definitely an uphill battle.
