Newly reelected Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was pummeled by Fox News hosts after her incredible remarks that violent crime is down in New York City and suggesting that more police on subways have only made matters worse during a recent interview on a nationally syndicated radio show.
On Tuesday, hours before the socialist diva would again be rewarded by voters in her deep blue district, she appeared on “The Breakfast Club” where she claimed that despite statistics to the contrary, “A lot of people think that crime is up, when we actually see that shootings are down, when we see that huge indicators on the most violent crime in New York City is down.”
“Subway crime is up, but let’s also note that subway crime is up after they committed so many more officers to the subway system so that tells us from a policy perspective, adding more cops to the subway isn’t solving the problem,” she added, seeming to suggest that the cops are to blame.
Crime deniers have repeatedly made the same claims as they sought to fend off Republican challengers in midterms and in AOC’s case it worked. But her gaslighting was given the treatment that it deserved on Thursday’s edition of “The Five” where the panel unloaded on the “frickin’ moron” and her distorted version of reality.
After co-host Dana Perino updated viewers of the bad news that not only had Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow Squad members all easily win reelection but added four new progressive radicals to their House caucus, Greg Gutfield and Jeanine Pirro discussed the congresswoman’s controversial comments.

“Look, AOC says crime went up once the police presence went up,” Gutfeld said. “That is either the product of a dishonest mind or a mentally disabled one.”
“Because the police are a response to the crime,” he continued. “The crime was there first. How can you lie about that?”
“I mean does she think that the police actually show up, they put up the yellow crime tape and then they go ‘this is where you commit the crime everybody, get in here,'” he said. ” Do you think that the chalk outlines are drawn before the body’s placed in there, you frickin’ moron?”
“She is so stupid, it is stunning,’ Pirro later added. “More cops cause more violence on the trains, on the subways? Did it ever occur to her there might even be more crime but for the fact that there were more police there?”
Despite Ocasio-Cortez’s twisted version of reality, crime is up 31 percent in New York City according to NYPD statistics through mid-October with felony assaults, robbery, and rape all up by double digits although the body count has declined with murders down by nearly 15 percent.

Even CNN is reporting a rise of a stunning 40 percent over last year on the subway transit system that New Yorkers rely upon on a daily basis but, since the Big Apple has been transformed into a brutal dystopian hellhole under Democrat rule, they put their lives in peril every time that they go to work or the grocery store.
Ocasio-Cortez is hardly an expert on criminology but since her constituents keep voting for her, they have nobody to blame but themselves for their city being overrun by violent thugs.
