AOC slammed for reaction to NYPD dance crew performance: ‘Useless, harmful politician’
NY Post
Lefty Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is getting bashed for lashing out at a recent TV performance by the NYPD’s dance team — with foes saying her criticism only highlights the failures of her own party.
The Democratic congresswoman from New York City — who supported the “Defund the police” movement — was among those to take aim at the police department after its dance troupe performed on PIX11 late last week.
“How many school music programs got defunded for this,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted Monday alongside a clip of the female cop dance group — which is not funded by taxpayer money.
The NYPD performance, which has since gone viral on social media, sparked widespread controversy after critics questioned the importance of the dance team given that the Big Apple is battling crime and a relentless migrant crisis.
But some critics — while still condemning the dance team’s on-air gig — also seized on AOC’s remarks, suggesting her own party’s progressive policies are fueling Gotham’s biggest issues.
One person responded to AOC’s tweet about cut school programs by saying, “Probably none bc they were already defunded.”
