Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was ripped as “financially illiterate” Friday for her role in killing the Amazon deal at the same Midtown conference where she was a featured speaker a couple of hours earlier.

“The people campaigning against the Amazon campus are financially illiterate,” Tracy Maitland, president and chief investment officer of Advent Capital Management, said during a panel discussion at the National Action Network conference in Midtown.

Afterwards Maitland told The Post, “This was a disgrace. I partially blame AOC for the loss of Amazon. She doesn’t know what she doesn’t know. That’s scary. We have to make sure she’s better educated or vote her out of office.”

Maitland said the misimpression created by Ocasio-Cortez and other Amazon critics was that the state and city were giving the company a blank $3 billion check.

He's not wrong. The audience should have thrown rotten tomatoes from Whole Foods at her.

That's the underlying problem with most left-wing dingbats - they don't have a basic level of knowledge about the issues they're babbling about.

...which is ironic since she supposedly has a degree in Economics...

She is the main act of this whole circus currently. I really don't understand how even leftists follow her considering how many unintelligent tantrums she throws.

Don't get me wrong, shes a fucking moron in the purest sense of the word, but dickbag Cuomo wanted to give them the keys to the wife's panty drawer. This state has wasted BILLIONS of our tax dollars on shit that never pand out, all the while lining his friends pockets. This could be the only smart thing she's ever done, and whether accidental or not, it was a good thing. My business didnt get freebies from the goverment but a bajillionaire's company gets millions? Horeshit.
