Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) celebrated the cancellation of Amazon’s planned headquarters in New York City, but not everybody was thrilled over the loss of 25,000 new job opportunities to the area. A billboard in Times Square blamed the Democratic Socialist.
The billboard, which reads “Amazon Pullout, Thanks for Nothing, AOC,” was funded by the Job Creators Network, whose CEO said in a release Wednesday, “The economic consequences of the HQ2 termination gives America a small taste of the harm that is to come if Ocasio-Cortez’s anti-business canon comes to fruition and is made federal policy.”
