After a major flap for driving Amazon out of New York City, something even socialist Mayor Bill de Blasio blamed her for, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is targeting another New York City business - the New York Post.
She's joining hands with a leftist newsstand seller group calling on all newsstand owners to quit selling the paper because she didn't like its cover story reminding New Yorkers that her congressional gal pal, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) was trivializing the worst terrorist attack on American soil -- which triggered its greatest damage in New York.
Here's a good writeup incorporating assorted sources at Blabberbuzz News:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), whose 14th Congressional District is comprised of parts of the Bronx and Queens in New York City, is promoting a boycott of hometown paper the New York Post by an Arab Muslim merchant group outraged over the paper’s graphic April 11 front page attacking Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over her dismissive comment about the September 11, 2001 Islamist terror attack, “Some people did something”.
Ocasio-Cortez applauded the boycott initiated by the Yemeni American Merchants Association (YAMA), posting to Twitter on Saturday, “Two years ago, Bodega owners across NYC (& cheered by neighbors)shut their shops citywide to protest Trump’s #MuslimBan. Today, that same community is banding together to reject sales of the NY Post at bodegas citywide. This is what real unity (& NYC solidarity) looks like”
So there she goes again, promoting another boycott of a New York business, trying to drive it out of business until it plays ball on her socialist perspective. Socialists always have been famous for their censorship and coercion. Ocasio-Cortez is no different.

Amazing how Orwellian our society has become in just the past couple of decades. Like a boiled frog, we are gradually allowing ourselves to be be under the heel of an oppressive government in which all dissent is shut down and history is rewritten - just like how Orwell portrayed it in “1984.”
C C C=cuidado cortez, cuidado
So...what percentage of Bodegas are Yemeni owned???
Maybe less after this stunt. NY takes 911 pretty seriously.
Cortez the Job Killer.
AOC’s radicalism has earned her a new nickname:
“Chiquita Khrushchev”
Of course, you have to be old enough to remember the late Soviet premier who vowed, “We will bury you”.
And, “Your grandchildren will grow up under communism.”
Since she works for the government I’d say her actions are unconstitutional.
So the Yemeni Merchant’s Association of downtown NYC? What? Maybe a dozen guys with shops?
Isn’t there something about not picking a fight with people that buy ink by the barrel?

Excellent, AOC. Keep destroying American jobs. Keep showing what they voted for.
AOC is a Fachist wannbe Boss.
The New York Post is one of the few American newspapers actually growing...
An actual government-led attack on the media...and the rest of the media is silent.
So she organized a boycott? Well, I’m boycotting Hollywood, so what?
Communist Censorship?
That’s why they call her Chiquita Khruschev
Where is the msm to defend the NY Post against this attack on the media?
