AOC: Expiration of Child Tax Credit to Blame for Rising Crime

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) correlated increasing thefts in New York City to the expiration of the child tax credit in an interview published on Monday, Fox News reported.

“And we allow the discourse to make it sound as though it’s, like, these shady figures in the bush jumping out from a corner. These are young men. These are boys. We’re also not discussing the mental health crisis that we are experiencing as a country as a result of the pandemic,” she said.

The report continues:
