Cummings for Congress - Claims - AOC CAUGHT IN A LIE

 

AOC REFUSES TO DEBATE OPPONENT CONGRESSWOMAN CAUGHT IN A LIE   Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has previously made hay out of her opponents' refusal to debate her, refuses to debate her opponent, former NYPD officer and high school civics teacher John Cummings. Worse, in making excuses for not debating, she has been caught in a lie. The Locust Point Civic Association invited the Congresswoman and Cummings to a debate hosted on October 6th. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez refused to attend, stating that she was "not doing any in person campaign events" through Election Day. Yet this past Friday she attended a meeting in person in Morris Park. Cummings Campaign Manager, Chapin Fay said, "We always knew the Socialist Congresswoman who lives in a luxury building in Washington, DC was a hypocrite, but now everyone knows she's a liar. The people of the Bronx and Queens deserve better. People are struggling and they deserve to hear how each candidate in the race to represent them in Congress will make their lives better. They deserve a debate. What's the Congresswoman afraid of?" The Cummings campaign sent a letter to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez on September 28th outlining a proposed series of debates. The Congresswoman has yet to respond to the campaign's debate challenge.
