‘Her heart is not in The Bronx’: Ocasio-Cortez’s constituents turn against her

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.

Nor is her head, which is firmly lodged elsewhere.

I wonder if all 15,987 of them are pissed? That's the number that sent this moron to Congress thanks to the well-funded efforts of those who want to destroy the Republic.

These voters are foolish if they think anyone running for office is going to be their "savior."  Politicians are supposed to represent you, not save you. 

Usually, voters looking for a "savior" are the same ones who think government is supposed to take care of them and their every need.

BFD.  They'll reelect her easily.
