She has done this before as well.

Someone has a lengthy criminal history, has committed shoplifting offenses over and over and time again - but she grabs the opportunity to claim it's because of these tax credits.

Don't care what school she went to and what grades she got. Whatever she did failed in all aspects. She just just plain old stupid.

AOC Says End of Child Tax Credit Led Suspects to Shoplift, Despite Lengthy Criminal Records

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) defended 12 suspects arrested by the New York Police Department (NYPD) for shoplifting, blaming their alleged crimes on the end of the child tax credit, despite the suspects’ lengthy criminal histories.

In a since-deleted tweet, the official NYPD account posted a photo of the stolen merchandise, which included over-the-counter medicine, diapers, and cleaning supplies, with the following caption:


After receiving numerous larceny complaints in the Bronx, officers from @NYPD4Pct recently arrested 12 individuals following an enforcement initiative targeting shoplifters. The arrests made led to the closure of 23 warrants and the recovery of $1800 worth of merchandise.

AOC shared a screenshot of the NYPD tweet and claimed New York City’s “economic priorities” created the conditions that pushed the criminals to shoplift.

Ocasio-Cortez tweeted:


When I talk about violent conditions, this is what I mean. But hey, it’s much easier to frame people who steal baby formula and medicine as monsters to be jailed than acknowledge our politics and economic priorities create conditions where people steal baby formula to survive.

She then blamed the shoplifting on the now-expired child tax credit, which Congress included in President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package.

“Child tax credit expired Dec 31st and it was many people’s lifeline to feed and clothe their kids,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Politicians let it expire overnight with a shrug, but now want to feed into the sensationalism around crime acting like shoplifting has nothing to do with their actions. Wild.”
