«Breaking News» Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slams 'billionaire-funded' and ‘wack’ Times Square Amazon billboard

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has fired back at a Times Square billboard that criticized her involvement in Amazon's decision to scrap plans for a second headquarters in New York. 

The billboard, funded by the Job Creators network, takes a swipe at the Democrat for scuppering the tech giant's plans to build a second headquarters in Long Island City, Queens. 

However the politician hit back at the public message and called out the 'billionaire-funded group for spending 'tons of cash on wack billboards.'

The billboard, in the heart of Times Square, criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for the loss of jobs and wages brought about by her controversial decision to halt the company's development plans.

A message on the billboard reads: '25,000 lost NYC jobs, $4 billion in lost wages, $12 billion in lost economic activity for NY — thanks for nothing, AOC!'

However the congresswoman has consistently defended her decision in stopping the tech giant's plans arguing that the move would have affected local residents. 

The message dedicated to the congresswoman reads: '25,000 lost NYC jobs, $4 billion in lost wages, $12 billion in lost economic activity for NY — thanks for nothing, AOC!'     

Yesterday the politician responded to the billboard's message in a public post to her 3.2million followers.

The U.S representative wrote: 'Few things effectively communicate the power we've built in fighting dark money & anti-worker policies like billionaire-funded groups blowing tons of cash on wack billboards (this one is funded by the Mercers).

'(PS fact that it's in Times Sq tells you this isn't for/by NYers).'

She further went on to say: 'Billionaires paying to put up anti-progressive propaganda in Times Square is like the obscenely rich version of the scene where Michael Scott points to the Bubba Gump and saying ''This is it, this is the heart of civilization, right here''.'  

Amazon announced its decision to abandon plans for a second headquarters in New York last week.

Yesterday, the congresswoman responded to the Times Square billboard in a tweet to her 3.2million followers 

The multinational company explained in a statement that 'a number of state and local politicians' had opposed the idea. 

In a statement submitted to Fox News, the Job Creators Network president and CEO Alfredo Ortiz said: 'AOC has barely been in elected office and she is already acting like a typical Washington politician by attacking an organization because she can’t defend her position. 

'AOC cost New Yorkers 25,000 jobs and $4 billion in annual wages.

'Job Creators Network is a national small business advocacy organization that is supported by one of America’s greatest American Dream success stories, Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
