Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she understood Gov. Andrew Cuomo's efforts to re-engage Amazon.

, Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti, said she objected to the"process" by which Amazon said it would come to New York, rather than being fully opposed to Amazon setting up shop in the city.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hits back at Times Square billboard that blames her for Amazon canceling its New York HQ2

"The deal was sprung on the community without any input and there's a real cost whenever tech companies come in without community input. Rents go up, people get evicted, there's an actual human cost," he said. Chakrabarti emphasised that it was Amazon who chose to leave the negotiating table once community voices were brought in. When asked whether he'd welcome Amazon back to the negotiating table, Chakrabarti said:"We'd welcome having a process, yes... but I don't know where the talks are at this stage."

He added:"If we can do it through a community process and there's a way for the community to actually engage and make their demands heard, I think that would have been a better way to have done that."responded to questions about Gov. Andrew Cuomo"I don't think I was disappointed per se, I understand his [Cuomo's] position and I understand why he would want to bring them back to the negotiating table.

AOC is just upset that JeffBezos slept with another Hispanic and it is not her. Jeff, please sacrifice for your shareholders.

‘The biggest issue I had with the Amazon Deal was that it was not about me.’

And she wants an Amazon stock package awarded to her if she agrees to allow it.

ALuthiger That’s why I won’t By from Amazon anymore!

The gaslighting begins. Here’s what she said at the time: “If we were willing to give away $3 billion for this deal, we could invest those $3 billion in our district ourselves if we want to. We could hire more teachers, we can fix our subways...”

Is there no end to this foghorn-leghorn's noise. Absolute media hungry charlatan! 👿

Meaning, listening to O-Cortez?

Sorry babe, you killed the golden goose. It ain't coming back and all of New York will blame you for killing 25,000 jobs and billions in new tax revenue.

That...

NYGovCuomo JeffBezos Why not woo Amazon back to NYS-but not in AOC's district? Upstate NY (Hudson Valley) was devastated by IBM plant closures. $15 an hour jobs will go farther in East Fishkill than in NYC. Many techies still live in the Valley & Stewart Airport is right here.

Too late.

They listened and got the F...out of here! MessageReceivedLoudAndClear Find alternative job offers now!

The overwhelming majority of locals want $AMZN back at the old deal and that’d be just fine. It’s the fringe socialists like AOC that say otherwise.

Socialism at its finest AOC

That's how it starts giving in
