AOC meets with NYC Jewish group for first time -- ending what some called a snub
Fox News
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., met with one of New York City’s leading Jewish groups last week for the first time since taking office in 2019 -- after what some called a snub of the area's Jewish leadership.
She said she has worked with smaller Jewish groups in the Bronx and Queens and the liberal nonprofit advocacy group J Street. The Jewish Community Relations Council and the New York Board of Rabbis had expressed frustration that Ocasio-Cortez hadn’t met with the groups after she was first elected in 2018. She also pulled out of a memorial for assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin held by the Americans for Peace Now due to pressure by liberal groups, JTA reported.More Related News
