Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, better known as AOC, has become a political celebrity, but what exactly has she achieved during her time in Congress? Beyond social media soundbites and controversial interviews, her legislative record is shockingly thin.
Elected in 2018, she was expected to bring revolutionary change to Washington. Instead, she has been a master of creating noise while doing very little to actually improve the lives of her constituents.
Look at her track record. Major bills? Almost non-existent. She’s been part of the so-called “Squad,” a group of progressive firebrands who’ve promised sweeping reforms, yet they’ve failed to pass any meaningful legislation. Whether it’s Green New Deal theatrics that go nowhere or grandstanding on Twitter, AOC has yet to make any real impact.
She’s gained followers but lost focus on the people who elected her. Her district is crumbling, and instead of tackling serious issues, AOC seems more concerned with building her personal brand than delivering results.
In “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district in New York City, those who are described as scantily dressed migrant prostitutes line blocks of a long commercial strip during all hours of the day and night, brazenly soliciting sex to passersby while their pimps strike fear into local business owners, one of whom told Fox News Digital he’s been threatened for speaking out and is on the verge of closing his store.

One doesn’t have to look far to see the disaster brewing in AOC’s own backyard. As her district falls into chaos, she’s nowhere to be found. New York’s 14th congressional district, which she represents, is facing severe problems: rising crime, deteriorating infrastructure, and now, streets overrun with illegal vendors and prostitution.
Yet, AOC has remained silent or dismissive, focusing instead on virtue signaling and pushing policies that have no hope of passing in a divided Congress.
The situation in her district has reached such a crisis point that it resembles a Third World country. Yes, you read that right.
Her constituents are living in an area that more closely resembles the lawless streets of a developing nation than a bustling part of New York City. And what is AOC doing? Turning a blind eye, it seems.
It’s no exaggeration to say that AOC’s district has become an urban nightmare. A recent report reveals that the streets of Roosevelt Avenue in Queens, a central part of her district, have become overrun by migrant prostitutes and illegal vendors. This isn’t just an isolated problem—it’s a full-scale disaster.
Locals describe scenes that look like something out of a Bangkok red-light district. Scantily clad women solicit sex on street corners in broad daylight. Pimps intimidate local business owners, and residents live in constant fear.
This isn’t happening in some distant land. This is AOC’s district, and the people who live there are crying out for help. But their representative has failed them. Instead of addressing this growing crisis, AOC has largely ignored it.
Her constituents are left to fend for themselves as prostitution, crime, and illegal activities take over their neighborhoods. Local business owners are on the verge of shutting down because customers are avoiding the area, thanks to the rampant lawlessness.
The report also highlighted that local residents, many of them immigrants and second-generation Americans, are furious at how their once vibrant neighborhood has been allowed to deteriorate. One shop owner, fearing for his safety, told Fox News Digital that he had been threatened for speaking out against the criminal activity taking place just outside his store.
The combination of prostitution and illegal street vendors has devastated the area’s economy and quality of life, and AOC’s silence speaks volumes.
The NYPD has conducted raids, but they’ve done little to stop the problem. Fox News Digital recorded video footage showing the brothels and illegal vendors springing back up just hours after the raids.
The so-called “Avenue of the Sweethearts” is not only an embarrassment but also a glaring example of how AOC has abandoned her district in pursuit of political stardom.
Residents are asking a fair question: where is AOC? She campaigned hard in this very area, promising change, but now that her district is in chaos, she’s nowhere to be found. Instead of tackling real issues—like the rampant prostitution or the illegal vendors cutting into legitimate businesses—AOC has spent her time rallying against city crackdowns on these very problems.
She’s more concerned with defending illegal street vendors than ensuring the safety of her constituents. This situation didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of years of neglect by a representative more focused on Instagram Live videos than on the actual work of governing.
The people of her district deserve better. They deserve someone who will stand up to crime, not turn a blind eye to it.
Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels, has blasted AOC for allowing her district to descend into lawlessness. And he’s right. The situation on Roosevelt Avenue has reached a point where it can no longer be ignored.
Yet AOC continues to offer weak excuses and empty platitudes. Local activists are organizing their own efforts to clean up the streets, but it shouldn’t have to come to this. That’s AOC’s job. She was elected to serve her district, and so far, she’s been a spectacular failure.
It’s time for AOC to step up or step aside. Her district can’t afford more inaction, and her constituents deserve a representative who will actually fight for them. The people of Queens are tired of being ignored while their neighborhoods collapse around them. AOC needs to be held accountable for her negligence, and it’s time for her to start doing her job. Enough is enough.
