Recent statements by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez regarding the tragic murder of Barnard student Tessa Majors reveal just how dangerous progressive policies are and how they undermine the struggle to protect innocent people from vicious criminals.

The murder of Tessa Majors was particularly brutal and vicious as she was stabbed multiple times as she screamed and attempted to fight off her three alleged attackers. The stabbing caused feathers to fly loose from her jacket.

Three boys have been arrested by the NYPD and charged with Tessa’s murder. One is 13; the other two are 14.

Saying that Tessa’s murder is a “horrific tragedy,” Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez also says this was a “tragedy on multiple levels.”
Incredibly she says “you have a tragedy of a young boy that was driven to that point, taken to that point. And I think that tragedy is also one of intergenerational poverty, potentially a broken home, a lack of opportunity.”!!

This statement of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is shameful, irresponsible and dangerous on “multiple levels.”

- Shamefully it suggests a moral equivalency between the tragedy of a young woman who was murdered and the “tragedy” facing her accused murderers.

- It is irresponsible to suggest that possible economic conditions provide any rationale or excuse to brutally murder an innocent young woman by stabbing her 4 times, including once through the heart, allegedly because she wouldn’t turn over her cell phone.

- It endangers the entire community when such a prominent government official removes the stigma of the murder by implicitly providing the murderers with an excuse for their inexcusable murderous conduct.

These comments by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez are even more indefensible when crime is increasing in New York City and Police are under seige.

To avoid more tragedies, it is time to stop with the excuses and stand with the Men and Women In Blue! ... See MoreSee Less

Ok Boomer

she is a real psycho

Oh My gosh! I’m just dumbfounded by this 😡😡😡

What’s wrong with Queens voting her in?

What’s going on with Russian interference in the election? Instead you continue to post divisive content about Democrats. Divide and distract. The Russian campaign is working perfectly.

Useless punk thug dirtbags. Hang them in the streets.

You’re the only one that seems to speak sense. AOC is a damn idiot and reckless. Vote her out.

There are quite a few people out there that speak and respond like that. It’s an easy way out to take people off the hook for crimes that they commit.

I’m outraged at her comments daily. I am also pretty sure people in that demographic do not want to be lumped in with the boys that committed this horrific crime. Having a lack of opportunity does not make someone a murderer! I can assure you coming from a broken home, I have never once thought of murdering someone either. She needs be removed. NY is headed to a place I’m not sure we can get back from !

Even if she is right I really don’t care I want these 3 idiots dead . Also LETS MAKE SURE THEY REALLY DID IT. REMEMBER THE CENTRAL PARK 5. Let’s not do the same bullshit . THANK YOU

AND THIS IS A HATE CRIME. RIIIIGGGGGGGGGHHHHTTTT

AOC is trash.

She’s a f’n idiot

Disgusting

AOC is disgusting, criminal loving animal 🤬🤬

This is the kind of twisted logic that the democrats constantly use to justify their codling of criminal elements like these savages. They do the same thing with illegal aliens.

Not three boys. Three criminals.

AOC is An imbecile plain and simple. It’s scary that someone so ignorant can become an elected official. On the other hand the total breakdown of any sense of family structure and decency in some communities is mind boggling . Unsupervised young people running around the streets , parental guidance non existent. It’s Intergenerational alright, intergenerational stupidity. Every ethnic group that came to this country lifted itself out of the doldrums, it’s time for the excuses to end

Isn’t this similar logic they used in bail reform?! Highly concerning to say the least.

Do you get as excited when white people kill black people?

The problem starts at home guarantee those kids don’t have a father because most black kids in this country only have one parent Believe me me if you don’t believe me you could come to my house check it out where I live

Obamas Children

3 morons

Very well said Pete. Iits a terrible shame criminals and murderers are thought to be felt sorry for and our GREAT ladies and men in Blue do not get any RESPECT OR BACK UP. REAL PATHETIC AND SAD. ECONOMIC S SHOULD NEVER BE AND EXCUSE FOR MURDER BY 14 YEAR OLDS. JUST PURE EVIL

Real patthetic
