AOC suggests NYC crime surge due to unemployment, residents who need to 'shoplift some bread'

Jason Chaffetz discusses the rise in murder rates in major U.S. cities amid calls to defund the police, and if federal intervention is needed suggested over the weekend that the crime surge in New York City is likely because struggling residents are forced to shoplift in order to "feed their child."the 30-year-old Democratic congresswoman was asked about the troubling uptick in violent crimes overtaking the city.

“Do we think this has to do with the fact that there’s record unemployment in the United States right now?" she responded. "The fact that people are at a level of economic desperation that we have not seen since the Great Recession?" "Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren't paying their rent and are scared to pay their rent and so they go out, and they need to feed their child and they don't have money," Ocasio-Cortez continued, "so they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry.”

Lost!

Has this person not seen any of the tv coverage ? What an ass

Dumb beach 🏖

Is AOC aware rent payments continue to be excused during pandemic? And that no one has been caught stealing bread? Much higher-ticket items.

Portarican got it easy so they are bad for America gets rid of them

A good shoplift when still a waitress.

She’s awesome

Omg Ocasio was born without neurons!

The up tick is from disorder in those regions. Maybe the mayor's, congress people and senators need to take responsibility for what going on. Stop blaming everything else it's because they allowed disorder that they have a mess.

Let’s just call her Karen AOC.

AOC I recommend go to hardware store, purchase a hammer, or charge it to the govt. because it is what the libs do, then bounce it off your head please.

Uptick , uptick , uptick.

Do you think you might want to spend some time on the relevant news like the virus surge in Florida instead of what AOC said? You fools will probably cover the GOP convention in person without a mask. Just saying.

LOL

AOC is an idiot. She doesn’t want to go back to being a waitress.

Make sure brain is engaged before operating mouth.

Bat-shit-crazy

Ok Fox ... now do tRump’s failed Presidency. Well, Fox doesn’t have the guts to report facts about Republicans and tRump

Sad

whoever is electing this witch?

Have them sell their cell phones. All of them have one. That would feed a family for awhile. Oh no!!! Let’s just steal what we want so we can keep our cell phones that we bought with our government assistance check!!!

Bullshit. They got a $600 pay increase... oh and I don’t think Amazon laid off one worker, may have added a few thousand in Long Island City. Oh wait No that’s right, someone thought it was a bad idea to add thousands of jobs to the boroughs economy!

She’s drinking all day long .. remember

You do have to admit, she’s a consistent idiot, like many others on the Left.

IS SHE ON CRACK MASSIVE DRUG TESTING NEEDED FOR CONGRESS IMMEDIATELY!!!!

Does AOC think we're stupid? She's the stupid one. Forgot the 25K Amazon jobs you drove out of NY? What about the 1,500+ prisoners andrewcuomo released--miraculously reformed? 🤔Are the BLM anarchists/looters/arsonists included in crime increase s or do they get a pass?

No kidding

This woman has no clue what she’s talking about. Just seeking sensation.

But she called to boycott work. These people don’t even try. Its amazin

Could somebody please ask AOC why there are NOT Crime Spikes NATIONWIDE, since the “Unemployment” from COVID has affected the ENTIRE COUNTRY?!?

idiot

😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂!
