Veterans In The Bronx Say Ocasio-Cortez Is Neglecting Local Issues, ‘She Cares More About Beating Up On Trump’

The two military veterans who said they walked out of a private meeting with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez say the Democratic congresswoman is neglecting local issues in favor of “beating up on Trump and the Republicans.”

Vietnam veteran and treasurer of Bronx Community Board 11 Silvio Mazzella told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the May 29 board meeting was the first they had seen of Ocasio-Cortez in their community since she started her congressional term in January.

“She was in office five months, and this is the first time she came to our community,” Mazzella said.

He said the board reached out to Ocasio-Cortez’s office in February regarding concerns of neighborhood graffiti and issues with the postal service, but when the same concerns were brought up at the May 29 community board meeting more than three months later, Ocasio-Cortez took notes and said she would “look into it,” according to Mazzella.

“We called her back in February about a postal problem, and she never addressed it, she showed up at the meeting and said, ‘I’ll look into it,’” Mazzella explained.

Military veteran and former New York City Police Department officer Anthony Vitaliano told the DCNF that Ocasio-Cortez arrived more than 20 minutes late for the private meeting.

“She was supposed to get there at 5, but didn’t get there until 5:23,” Vitaliano said.
