AOC: No. Why Would I Meet With Jewish Community Leaders?

[Hot Air] Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is coming up on the end of her first term in office, having generated more headlines and hot takes than most back-bench, first-term members of the House than you could probably think of. She’s kept herself busy on the national stage for the entire time, particularly as a surrogate for Bernie Sanders throughout most of the Democratic primary. But her schedule in terms of interacting with her constituents back home in Queens and the Bronx has been a bit on the light side. That’s been of increasing concern to the Jewish community who represent a significant portion of the residents in her district.

The New York Post reports this week that prominent leaders in the city’s Jewish Community have been requesting meetings with AOC ever since she was sworn in so they could discuss issues of importance to New York’s Jews. But thus far, the freshman congresswoman hasn’t made time to meet with any of them.

#1 Why should she - they're going to vote for her anyhow?

#2 NY Congressional district is so heavily Democrat (~ 80% + voting D), that they would vote for a fire hydrant if had a "D" painted on it.

#3 Sanders is a DNC tool. He endorsed Biden and turned over all the money his useful idiots raised to the Biden campaign. It was wonderful watching the Left figure out they'd been had.

#4 Why should she meet with Jewish leaders? To maintain the pretense that she doesn't hate Jews.

#5 She doesn't even need to pretend.

They'll still overwhelmingly vote for her, in order to bravely stand up to a threat that ended over 75 years ago, while studiously ignoring what threatens them now.

#6 ^ And what did Roosevelt, the Democrat, do about that threat? Before the war started he denied visas to Jews who were desperate to leave Germany thus leaving them to their fate at the hands of the genocidal Hitler. I guess that's just how Democrats feel about the Juice.

#7 ..there was a plan put out to resettle them in Alaska, the 'other' party in the territory obstructed that.

#8 "they would vote for a fire hydrant if had a "D" painted on it"

To be fair, a fire hydrant is a useful thing.
