AOC’s office still touting pandemic social distancing guidelines

The COVID-19 pandemic has ended - but Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s office is not yet up to speed, according to an automated phone message her DC office provides to callers.

“Thank you for calling the office of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Federal, state and local officials have advised that social distancing is critical to preventing the spread of COVID-19,” the recorded greeting from a male staffer at the democratic socialist’s office says.

“As such, staff in the congresswoman’s DC and district offices will shortly begin telecommuting. Meetings and other business will be conducted by phone or video. Thank you for your understanding.”

There is one problem: the message is inaccurate and outdated - at least nine months behind the times.

The US Centers for Disease Control last August dropped its social distance requirement, saying Americans no longer need to stay at least six feet away from each other, with the overwhelming majority of adults having some level of immunity to the virus - either from vaccinations, prior infections or both.

**SNIP**

One New Yorker who called Ocasio-Cortez’s federal office said she should get the Rip Van Winkle award.

“She’s been asleep for nine months,” the source said.

Other elected officials said the voice message was a head scratcher, and suggested she and her staff just never bothered to update it.

AOC is way too busy drinking wine and eating cheese to worry about work

Yesterday I went to a store and a lady had just finished unloading her shopping cart into her car. I offered to take the cart for her (I needed one anyway). She asked if I wanted her to wipe the handle for me. I said, “No thank you.”

She said, “Are you sure?”

I smiled, leaned down and licked the handle and said, “I think I’ll live.”

The look on her face was priceless!!!

This is purely indicative of the Leftist mindset.

They all miss the control on the Left.

She just didn’t read the memo.
