It’s not like any of the shootings that have New Yorkers panicked are
taking place in AOC’s backyard — oh wait, they are.

US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sparked outrage Tuesday for
dismissing concerns about surging crime as “hysteria.”

The Bronx-Queens congresswoman, a far-left progressive routinely referred
to by her initials, AOC, made the remark during a Zoom chat with freshman
US Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), a fellow proponent of the “Defund the
police” movement who represents the Bronx and Westchester.

“We are seeing these headlines about percentage increases,” Ocasio-Cortez
said, reducing recent incidents such as a tourist shot in broad daylight
in Times Square and kids ducking for cover amid a gang shooting in the
Bronx to mere statistics.

“Now I want to say that any amount of harm is unacceptable and too much.
But I also want to make sure that this hysteria, you know, that this
doesn’t drive a hysteria and that we look at these numbers in context so
that we can make responsible decisions about what to allocate in that
context.”

Bronx City Councilman Ruben Diaz Sr. on Tuesday blasted Ocasio-Cortez’s
remarks and said she “is wrong.”

“The crime increase is a crisis,” said Diaz, a fellow Democrat.

“She should talk to the senior citizens in the Bronx who are afraid to
come out of their house. She should talk to the mothers whose kids were
killed by gun violence.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks also contradicted the results of a recent poll commissioned by The Post that found opposition to defunding the police was strongest in the crime-ridden Bronx, where more than 60 percent of
respondents disapproved of last year’s slashing of $1 billion from the
NYPD budget.

The National Fraternal Order of Police also said Ocasio-Cortez “said the
quiet part out loud: the Narrative Matters More to her than Peoples’
Lives.”

“Dismissing the #CrimeCrisis across the country, saying it’s just
‘hysteria,’ is textbook #Gaslighting,” the group tweeted.

“@AOC, those ‘percentage increases’ are Mothers, Fathers, Sons &
Daughters.”

Figures posted by the FOP show massive increases in homicide rates in
various cities this year compared to the same period two years ago,
including 50 percent in New York City, 66 percent in Philadelphia, 44
percent in Atlanta and 33 percent in Chicago.

Meanwhile, Portland, Ore. — which was wracked by riots following last
year’s police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis — has seen homicides skyrocket 138 percent since 2019 and 533 percent since last year,
according to the FOP.

Ocasio-Cortez’s comments were posted online Sunday, the same day a
newlywed US Marine was wounded by a stray bullet in Times Square, marking
the second such incident in the past two months.

US Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), who represents Staten Island and
Brooklyn, blasted Ocasio-Cortez as a “hypocrite.”

“Easy for AOC to say…she walks around with a security detail while trying
to deny her constituents police protection on our streets and our
subways,” Malliotakis tweeted.

Other critics included Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald,
who noted that Ocasio-Cortez — a proponent of the “Defund the police”
movement — “just acted to ensure $2 billion more in spending” on the
Capitol Police by voting “present” instead of “no” on a bill that passed
the House 213-212 vote last month.

“AOC is mocking ordinary people as ‘hysterical’ who are afraid of violent
crime in their neighborhood: people who, unlike her, don’t have reams of private security,” Greenwald tweeted.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
