AOC-linked group backs 'Defund the Police' advocate in NY primary
Fox News
A group linked to firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is backing a far-left candidate who has called for defunding law enforcement in a congressional primary against a senior Democrat in Congress.
"I really love my community and love communities in New York," Abdelhamid said. "It’s time for Congress to finally look like our communities and to have a representative who will fight for all of us ― not just certain groups or certain neighborhoods." Maloney has represented New York in Congress since 1993. Similar to the "Squad" members she hopes to join in Congress, Abdelhamid has called for the defunding of police and directed followers to donate to a Minnesota fund that posted bail for alleged rioters and violent criminals.More Related News
