Winning the Republican primary with 67% of the votes, a challenger to "Squad" member Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., wants to take down the progressive firebrand because she's fed up with crime in New York City.
Congressional candidate of New York’s 14th district Tina Forte told Fox News Digital that people are afraid to be out at night because of the city’s rising crime.
She added that she spoke with constituents directly about crime by going to their homes, businesses, and even on the streets of New York.
"They don't come out at night anymore like they used to," Forte said.

Forte went on to say, "They tell me personal stories to be honest with you."
"I grew up here, I own a business here, I raised my family here. I see the difference. I see stores closing earlier than when they normally do. You have a grandma and grandpa who don’t come out for a cappuccino at night anymore. They don't want to come out or if they are out, they head home because it's getting dark. People are afraid to be out at night. Those are the things I am getting back from people as I meet with them."
Although Big Apple murder rates were similar this year compared to last, other major crimes have surged. Police statistics and polls show that New Yorkers are fed up, Fox News Digital reported earlier this month.
Ocasio-Cortez has been one of the most vocal and high-profile lawmakers to demand the defunding of American police departments. In her own district, major crime has climbed steadily over the past two years.

Good that she’s tough on crime. I presume that means she’ll want to put the Traitor Trump and his family behind bars and also enact some tougher gun laws.
Keeping my fingers crossed but I have no faith in the Sheeple.
Why does the media appear to be ignoring real-world issues?
To promote inclusion, will NYC pass laws requiring men to sit when they pee ?
But, But... AOC is an "elected" official and she passed the "bar" exam !
Yesterday someone in Rob's Manhattan recommended to me that next president ahould be AOC and lori beetlejuice lightfoot be VP. Really happened...
Let's hope Forte can take out AOC-cups and rid us all of that horrible woman and leave her to a career showing her tush for money on OnlyFans. But I doubt it. Too many dummies will just vote D without even thinking about it. But with turnout as low as it generally is, if all Republicans and disgusted D's actually show up and vote, we might flip this thing as lazy Progs stay home thinking it's in the bag.
And with Kathy the Klown on the ballot too, this is a very important election for Rs to show up. Don't assume it's over just because it's New York. This is probably the best year in decades to flip some seats and return some balance of power.
Then again, they might just "stop counting" in the middle of the night and then, tah-dah!, Democrats will all the races!
Resemblance to Vickie Paladino!
Does AOC even visit her own district anymore?
Tina, work on education also.

So you don't like crime. Nobody does. What specifically will you do as a congressperson that will lower crime in the district? I also like good education, clean streets, integrity in government, low taxes, blah blah. Say something that has substance.
AOC is much too hot to lose.
Prove me wrong …
How is the New Green Deal doing ?
Sad, very sad...
Voting is for commies!
Sorry, no brainless Trumpanzee has a chance against AOC.
Prove me wrong …
And "forte" is pronounced "fort". It's a French noun for "strong point". Don't be one of the many dummies who stupidly pronounce it "fortay" However, "forte" is also the Italian adverb meaning "strongly".
Gabeesh, Mesdames et Messieurs?
This site is s-o-o edumacational!
And then again, she might pronounce her last name "fortay" alla italiano! Bet she does.
Comprenez tout cela?
They can all be as tough as they want on crime. Counts for nothing if the officer on the street is too lazy, dumb and preoccupied with their phones to do anything.
TrumpTurds are all for crime if it means corporate theft, wage theft, stealing elections and attempted coups.
Fox News Sheeple rant on about high crime, and yet they want to flood the streets with guns.

Sheeple complain about crime and taxes and then we find they all voted for Biden !
Sad, so sad...
We're told over and over that election fraud doesn't happen. That it's impossible to cheat.
