A constituent of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recounted to Fox News how the congresswoman abandoned her own town hall event in the Bronx after she asked her about rising crime in the district.
Guadelupe Alvarez told the network that she had asked Ocasio-Cortez what she is doing for the district, which is facing increased crime and prostitution.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this week, major crime has skyrocketed by 70 percent in the congressional district represented by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez since she assumed office in 2019. This surge in illegal activity is more than double the overall increase across New York City, which remained at 30 percent during the same period.
“I went to one of the town halls where she was speaking in the Bronx, I believe, and when I asked the question of what are you doing for Jackson Heights? How are you aware of the crime and prostitution? Have you seen the neighborhood lately? She dismissed me,” Alvarez recalled.
The congresswoman walked out instead of answering the simple questions.
“She said she’d be right back and never came back and just handed the floor to her assistant, which was really infuriating,” Alvarez said.
Alvarez also alleged that people at the town hall were given pre-written questions to ask the congresswoman.
A new poll has found that Democrat and left-leaning voters view either Ocasio-Cortez or “no one” as the face of their party.
Poll Finds Democrat Voters See Either AOC or ‘No One’ as the Face of Their Party
A newly released Co/efficient poll of approximately 1,400 voters found:
“Currently, there is no consensus on the face of the Democrat Party, as a majority of voters either give the title to AOC (26%) or simply say there is none (26%). Bernie Sanders falls in a distant second, followed by a handful of others who fail to reach double digits.”
There has been growing speculation that the congresswoman from New York might be preparing for a 2028 presidential bid.
