2/2 AOC’s Constituents Complain About Absent ‘Rock Star’ Who’s ‘Done Nothing’

Vazquez noted a common sentiment shared throughout AOC’s bi-borough district, that the everyday concerns of constituents, such as jobs, public safety, and traffic, are treated as secondary by a representative more focused on her national profile.

That perception became reality last week at a town hall in Jackson Heights, where Ocasio-Cortez gave a packed auditorium less than an hour of attention before abruptly exiting to a waiting SUV. During the event, she only took six questions, The Post reported.

The public meeting had already been rescheduled from its original date after the congresswoman fell ill following the conclusion of her nationwide “Fighting the Oligarchy” tour alongside Bernie Sanders.

“Of course, it’s cancelled — too busy jet setting around on private jets screaming about ‘oligarchs’ and setting up her bid for a POTUS run,” Vazquez told The Post. “This woman has done nothing for the community she was once again elected to serve.”

“It’s hard to find a private plane – it’s Easter weekend,” Jackson Heights resident Tatiana Lacatus mockingly said of the cancelled event. “She is too big for us.”

Elmhurst’s Ramses Frias, a Republican City Council candidate, referred to Ocasio-Cortez as an “absentee landlord,” stating that she is disconnected from the realities of her working-class constituents.

“She’s flying around on private jets, talking about the oligarchy, which is not really resonating with the regular guy – the person going shopping over here at the supermarket,” he said with a heavy dose of sarcasm, adding: “She’s a rock star.”

On all types if issues, both big and small, The Post noted, critics in Ocasio-Cortez’s district, which includes Astoria and Jackson Heights in Queens, as well as the South Bronx, say she is falling short in serving the very people who elected her.
