Far-Left Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised eyebrows on Monday when she attempted to claim that the recent crime wave gripping much of the country was likely tied to the expiration of the child-tax credit benefits.

As Fox News reports:

The representative said she has engaged “hospitals, doctors and social workers” and was told that the surge in violence is driven by the young– mainly young men.

“And we allow the discourse to make it sound as though it’s, like, these shady figures in the bush jumping out from a corner. These are young men. These are boys. We’re also not discussing the mental health crisis that we are experiencing as a country as a result of the pandemic,” she said.

She pointed out that the child tax credit, which was seen as a lifeline to many families, expired on Dec. 31 “and now people are stealing baby formula.”

“We don’t want to have that discussion. We want to say these people are criminals or we want to talk about “people who are violent,” instead of ‘environments of violence,’ and what we’re doing to either contribute to that or dismantle that.”

The child tax credit, which have now expired, were supposed to be renewed as part of President Joe Biden’s $1.9 Trillion ‘Build Back Better’ legislation.

  1. THIS “REPRESENTATIVE” MUST LAY IN BED AT NIGHT, DREAMING UP ASSINE IDEAS AS TO WHY CRIMINALS COMMIT THE ATROCITES THEY DO AND THEN FIND A REASON TO PAT THEM ON THEIR LIL BACKS AND TELL THEMIT’S OKAY . AND YOU CAN GO DO IT AGAIN WITH OUR BLESSING . WE WILL PROTCT YOU. AND DON’T YOU THINK TWICE ABOUT YOUR VICTIMS…THIS IS HOW THIS PERSON THNKS AND THE PEOPLE IT DRISTRICT SHE REPS DON’T GET IT.WAKE UP PEOPLE SHE IS WAY IN OVER HER HEAD.

    1. but the saddest thing of all is that there are people in her district of NY that actually voted for this dimwitted clown

  2. People who voted for this “representative” and this representative herself (and those like her), are either idiots or insidious (or both!). It doesn’t take a big brain to recognize how far from reality she’s spewing. The insidious part is knowingly voting her and knowingly push for these agenda bec they know it will create chaos, instability and disinformation.

  3. This young woman is so ignorant it’s almost funny.My first response to her pronouncements is to laugh out loud and just shake my head. I wonder what some of the other representatives in Congress of both parties really feel about the idiotic things she says.

  4. Everyone must know their limitations in life. Unfortunately, AOC just can’t get a grip on that part of life so she keeps spreading her stupidity on to others, namely her supporters.

  5. Every time AOC opens her mouth, she proves just how unfit she is for the job – but that’s what happens when you elect a bartender to Congress!!!

  6. FOR A VERY SHORT WHILE, AOC’s comments were entertaining and her ignorance gave us a laugh because her ideas were so absurd. The novelty of watching a member of Congress go through middle school types of actions and pouts has worn off. AOC, Biden, Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer, and the other unintelligent and brain compromised members of Congress need to leave and make room for bright and well educated young leaders.

  7. this little girl is dumb as a rock!!!!! But that explains most of the people in the nations daycare, aka dc!!!

  8. The War of Northern Aggression pretty much put and end to the idea of states seceding from the Union. However, no precedent has been set regarding expelling states from the Union. Now, consider which states are sending the most corrupt, incompetent and Socialist vermin to DC. Let’s expel NY and CA.

  9. AOC is an idiot. Can anyone pleasee tell me one, yes one, thing that came out of this dumb asses mouth that made any sense? Seriously I am waiting

  10. I’m not being racist in saying that what I see on local TV news about crime. Crime reports on the local very liberal news station here show the most crimes are being committed by “people of color(s)” but Blacks are not the majority of offenders. What this station does not mention is the citizenship of the criminals which is probably mainly “illegal migrant”.
