- A pro-business group unveiled two billboards targeting Democratic congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York City on Tuesday, criticizing her proposal for a “Green New Deal” aimed at building a renewable energy economy.

The digital billboards on the side of a skyscraper in Manhattan’s Times Square are the latest broadside against the 29-year-old liberal known as “AOC,” by the Job Creators Network, founded by billionaire Bernard Marcus, a former chief executive of Home Depot Inc. Ocasio-Cortez had opposed Amazon.com Inc’s plan to create a major New York outpost with nearly $3 billion in city and state incentives. When the company last month scrapped plans to build in New York, she called it a big victory for progressive politicians.

“Hey AOC, you’re the ‘boss’?” read one billboard. “WE DON’T THINK SO. The American PEOPLE are the boss,” said the other sign, with a link to a website critical of the “Green New Deal.”

Why don't cons complain about Trump being president when Clinton got more votes?

Dark money

Why are they so scared of her?

It’s unseemly for 89 yr old billionaire Bernard Marcus to personally attack AOC. Why not mobilize JCN to align green aspirations and entrepreneurship?

One day only - Everything is free. Because one day is all it would take for her dream world to crumble centuries of civilization

Only one Boss in NY, George Steinbrenner, RIP

Hey I thought they were pro life!!

AOC scares me. This is person drunk on power and takes no responsibility for anything wrong or incorrect.

Nobody alive today will have to pay the costs of climate change so why worry? It's on your future grandkids kids.

I would keep my mouth shut if I was “conservative” right now! NationalDebtUnderDrump

Lmao they're so scared of her

Good. She should be called out for her dangerously maniacal positions.

Their words, not hers ;)

MOAR FREE STUFF!!
