Fox News’ Outnumbered have blasted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for being “delusional” and making “patently false” comments about New York City’s rising crime in subway stations. On Tuesday, AOC commented on the rising crime in New York City’s subway stations which is up by 44 per cent in 2022. “Subway crime is up. But let’s also note that subway crime is up after they committed so many more officers to the subway system. So that also tells us from a policy perspective, adding more cops to the subway isn’t solving this problem,” the New York representative told a radio station. The panel from Fox News’ Outnumbered blasted AOC for the comments, accusing her for not being “fit to serve”. “It’s absolutely, patently false for her to be saying that police presence does not deter crime and to blame violent attacks or rise in crime on our New York City’s finest,” Emily Compagno said. “She’s delusional,” Co-host Lisa Kennedy added. “She’s flat-out wrong. If she believes it, she’s not fit to serve”.
