The Amazon killers are still on the attack.NY Daily News: Cortez overly-sensitive over her faux accent.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens/Bronx) and her partner in job-slaying crime, state Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Queens), lashed out at Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Internet giant Saturday, as the two Amazon opponents held a joint constituent event in Woodside.

Cuomo, who said Sunday that the Amazon fiasco has wrecked the state’s ability to attract new businesses, “should look in the mirror,” Gianaris charged.

...several of the constituents who waited for up to two hours to land a five-minute meeting Saturday with the lefty lawmakers were there to sound off about losing out on the 25,000 jobs that Amazon had promised.
“I felt like people should have gotten the jobs,” said Susie Scaretta-Enright of Woodside. “There are people that are struggling.”
[Cortez] also spoke of critics who accused her of adopting a faux Bronx accent when she spoke Friday at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention.
“It’s so crazy to at once mock someone for being from a working class background, for being a bartender, for shaming me for where I was born and where I’m from and on the other hand, when I lean into my identity and who I am and all of that, people are saying that’s not true either,” said Ocasio-Cortez.
