Good day all. Representative Alexandria Occasional-Cortex is, for Republicans, the Gift that keeps on giving. For the Democrats, she is also the gift that keeps on giving, like herpes. Recently, her campaign was fined for labor violations.
For someone who claims to be “For the workers in the Proletariat,” this is very embarrassing. Here are the details from Fox News:
The campaign of rookie U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has been fined by the state for not providing workers’ compensation coverage for a month last year.
The failure to provide the coverage to campaign staff is particularly awkward for Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic socialist who rose to stardom after unseating top Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley with a campaign theme of improving conditions for the working class.
Hey, don’t you know that being a Communist means never having to say “I’m Sorry”?
“The employer did not have the required workers’ compensation coverage from March 31, 2018, to April 30, 2018, and was issued a final penalty of $1,500, which was paid,” state Workers Compensation Board spokeswoman Melissa Stewart told the New York Daily News.
“This coverage is vital to ensuring workers are protected for on-the-job injuries,” she added.
Republicans jumped on the revelations, telling the newspaper that the episode reveals “hypocrisy at its finest” by Ocasio-Cortez.
“The so-called champion of workers, when given her own responsibility, is not following the law. It’s unbelievable,” said state GOP spokeswoman Jessica Proud.
Well, there’s a surprise. Who would have thought that the Republicans wouldn’t point out that Occasional-Cortex couldn’t be bothered to pay into the Workers Comp fund?
This isn’t the first time the congresswoman’s pro-working class credentials have been called into question.
She remains under scrutiny after avoiding answering questions on whether she will follow through with her own advice to fellow lawmakers to “have some integrity” and forgo their paychecks during the partial government shutdown.
I think the safe answer here would be… Hell No! Don’t forget, the silly Communist claims she’s all but broke. She’s also utterly clueless with regards to running a business.
Last year, Ocasio-Cortez was also mocked after lamenting the shuttering of a coffee shop in New York, even though it closed its doors thanks to the wage hike in the state – a policy that she supports.
“The restaurant I used to work at is closing its doors,” she wrote in a tweet. “I’m a normal, working person who chose to run for office, because I believe we can have a better future.”
The owners blamed the minimum wage hike for the closure. “The rents are very high and now the minimum wage is going up and we have a huge number of employees,” Charles Milite told the New York Post last month.
And all those workers that Occasional-Cortex claim to care so much about?
Around 150 people lost their jobs as a result of the closure of the coffee shop.
There are a number of CommuNazi representatives who are, to put it mildly, about as bright as a sack if hammers. Alexandria Occasional-Cortex appears to be lowering the bar even further. I’m wondering, if she keeps this up for the next two years, if she doesn’t get voted out by her district? I’m beginning to think they’re suffering a case of “Confiscators Remorse” with regards to this twit.
