Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday tweeted several comments on the incident, in which the victim, Jordan Neely, was placed in a chokehold by another passenger in what was later ruled a homicide.

[Mayor Eric] Adams, when asked about her tweets, said: “I don’t think that’s very responsible at the time when we’re still investigating the situation. Let the DA conduct his investigation with the law enforcement officials.”

He added, “To really interfere with that is not the right thing to do. I’m going to be responsible and allow them to do their job.”

[That didn’t slow AOC down at all … — Ed]

This honestly feels like a new low: not being able to clearly condemn a public murder because the victim was of a social status some would deem “too low” to care about.

The last sentence is especially rich from an admin trying to cut the very services that could have helped him. https://t.co/0DtXl9DOO5
