You do realize that in addition to representing a particular district members of Congress also make decisions and vote on a wide range of both domestic and international issues that affect our country?

I have heard she was hand picked by the Dems. If so, wonder how that will work out in the long run. Of course she had a lot of contact with the public, tossing drinks and running around probably flirting while delivering them. I don't know much about the Bronx and would not want to insult anyone, but it does make me wonder how bright the people are to have voted for her?

We all know that, but an elected officials, fist responsibility is to those who help them get elected. it is not to see what outlandish thing you can say each day, just to get attention. Or let's hope that is why she says what she does.

She is a Marxist loon. I'm not saying that just as a derogatory slap, she is literally insane. Quite a few of them have revealed that they are. Every time AOC goes on one of her transparent mind screws the rest follow like good little lemmings because they have to protect the party as she pours gas and lights a match.


The whole thing is becoming unhinged.
So true. On a positive note, her ludicrous and feckless presentations (not excluding the rest of the dem candidates) will guarantee President Trump's 2nd Term of Office!!!

Thank you AOC!

She only got sworn in in Jan, and you want her to cure the social economic ills of the bronx in a few months? LOL
Being honest might help....rather than fake crying over an empty parking lot .

You people got something against QUEENS? The majority of her district is there, and not The Bronx. I lived in East Elmhurst, Queens, for 10 years about 30 years ago. Even then, it was majority Hispanic. That the people of her district in Queens elected her over some old incumbent white dude, doesn't surprise me at all even decades later.

One of the reasons why people in districts like hers remain poor is that they listen to and believe in charlatan's and populist's rants. And I'm non-partisan on this one; much of Red Trumpland is that way too.

Heard from who?

Like her or not, she ran a strong campaign and Crowley took the campaign for granted.
