Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday tried to explain her lack of office hours by saying she’s still taking “baby steps” — but said constituents who can’t work with her sporadic schedule should follow her on Twitter.
"Right now we’re just taking these baby steps and adapting according to community feedback,” the 29-year-old told The Post when asked why her brief availability was in the middle of the day.
“We don’t want to be too concrete, we adapt to the feedback of the community, so if we hear that folks want more evening hours we’re happy to do that.”
Asked what people with jobs should do in the meantime, she suggested: “You can give us a call, you can email us, you can add us on social media.”
But when asked for a schedule of future events she’d be attending so her constituents could find her, the self-described Democratic socialist claimed she wasn’t “allowed.”
“Due to safety reasons I’m not allowed to, so Capitol Police, uh, yeah, it’s intense, so, Capitol Police recommend that we don’t give specific details about where we will be and when too far in advance,” she said.
The Capitol Police said it wouldn’t comment on its “consultations” with “Member offices on security-related matters,” but a Democratic House aide said the cops “have nothing to do with the decision to have a public schedule or not.”
“The police don’t tell us what to do. The police did not send out a memo that we advise you not to send out a public schedule,” said the aide.
“You still have to provide the information publicly so your constituents can come.”

I do not have enough popcorn for this.......
I get a feeling she locks the doors and spends a lot of time in her office singing Disney Princess songs.
She has no time for the useful idiots she used to herself elected.
We should get 25 or so freepers to call her office DEMANDING a personal meeting for important community issues...then blow her off.
Yeah, she’s to busy running for president. As we know, we deserve a braniac like her. Spit.

Yes, if they get too close, too often ... they’ll figure out she’s just a bartender.
Oh, stop. She gives enough to knock her for, without silly accusations like this. She was shocked that she won (the video is adorable and hilarious), the turnout was very low, and she ran against the #4 Dem in the House.
She likely ran on a bar dare, she didn't "use" anyone.
(That comes later, LOL.)
Some clown at Yahoo posted:
“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 2020”.
You truly cannot fix stupid...
Those poor illegal aliens can’t get in to see her?
That’s not fair. Just a few days ago she said that illegal aliens are her constituents.
If anything, this will be what eventually brings her down. She doesn’t realize that constituent service is a huge part of being a representative. Representatives have had very long careers where constituent service was the only thing they concentrated on.
She is too busy with party party party and get drunk drunk drunk. Just watch, she will self destruct.
My son went to a dr today and first sentence from dr “you’re not a democrat are you?” Then he proceeded to talk about happenings.. his parents came here from a communistic country. And he’s having a fit over these younguns wanting socialism. He said they have no idea!
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Rats get into total power, God forbid, they will lower the age to run for President. Of course when and if they take control you can bet the Constitution will be thrown out the window. Of course you know that would mean war.
Yeah, don’t want to go overboard helping the people who helped you. Maybe one-half of one-half of one-half of one percent of your time, but that’s it.
Occasional-Cortex constituents are sycophants who think she is a goddess. She could beat them over the head with a hickory stick, and they would say, may I have another.

Hope he never returns to THAT doctor!
Representative Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t want to be bother with, you know, like, literally representing and stuff.
