A Times Square Billboard Hits Ocasio-Cortez on Amazon. She Hits Back.

A Times Square Billboard Hits Ocasio-Cortez on Amazon. She Hits Back.
A billboard blamed Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Amazon’s decision to exit New York; she blamed wealthy right-wing types for the ad.

Probably the last thing that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez needs is a billboard to get her more attention or notoriety.

But there it was, on 42nd Street in Times Square, a digital attack ad that blamed the freshman Democratic congresswoman for Amazon’s decision to pull out of New York, taking with it 25,000 promised jobs.

“Thanks for Nothing, AOC!” the ad read, using Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s initials that became ubiquitous even before she officially set foot in Congress.

The ad was paid for by a Texas-based group called the Job Creators Network. In the past, tax records show that the Mercer Family Foundation has funded what appears to be a related group, the Job Creators Alliance, also based in Addison, Tex.

So WTF do some assholes in Texas know about Queens? They sure know a lot about Federal funds that bail out their cities after natural disasters. They know a lot about how Walmart basically killed off most of their smaller businesses. They know alot about shopping at Sams Club and Costco. Most don’t know a lot about Amazon and it’s destructive force. In NYC we know, believe me, we know. What they don’t see now will kick their asses in the future and when that happens their point a finger elsewhere. Trust me.
