During an interview last week with The Washington Times, Ocasio-Cortez said, “A lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out.”
“I believe it’s a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data didn’t back it up,” she continued.
Following AOC’s ignorant statement, a Walgreens spokesperson told The Washington Times, “Organized retail crime is one of the top challenges facing” the company and that the issue “has evolved beyond shoplifting and petty theft to the sale of stolen and counterfeit goods online.”
Theft at San Francisco Walgreens locations has spiked the company said. As a result, they have increased security spending in the city to 46 times what’s at the average Walgreens location, according to the Post Millennial.
Moreover, the giant pharmacy retailer has scuttled 22 stores in the city in the past five years due to retail theft.
