And so what does here district really look like?

According to the Census Bureau, it breaks down demographically as 22 percent white, 50 percent Hispanic, 9 percent black and 16 percent Asian.

In addition, 45.8 percent in this district are foreign-born and 67.8 percent report that they speak a language other than English at home.

To connect the dots, Ocasio-Cortez is telling us and wants us to believe that a district that is so-called majority minority, with almost half of the population foreign-born and the majority of whom don't speak English at home, should have a socialist representing them in Congress.

The problem with Joe Crowley, according to Ocasio-Cortez, was that although he is a liberal, he's not far enough left. He's not a socialist, and therefore out of touch with the Hispanics, blacks and Asians in this district.


Sorry, it's not my idea of good representation to tell constituents that their lives will be improved if the United States becomes more like the failed, problematic places that many of them, and their forebears, left to come here.

Consider Puerto Rico, where Ocasio-Cortez traces her roots, which is an economic basket case, as a result of the same kind of big government ideas that Ocasio-Cortez is telling the constituents of New York 14 they need for a better life.
