14th District of New York. New York’s 14th District represents more than 650,000 people across parts of the Bronx and Queens. Our neighborhoods include sections of: Astoria, College Point, Corona, North Corona, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, Sunnyside and Woodside in Queens. Reports have suggested that at least a quarter of those living in Ocasio-Cortez’s district are illegal immigrants with no legal right to live in America. As such, Ocasio-Cortez’s district may ultimately be redrawn and she may be pushed out of her congressional seat. Here are the details from The City, which was linked by Luntz in his tweet. Tucker Carlson guest says immigrants made Rep Ocasio-Cortez's district dirty and “one of the least American districts in the country” Written by Media Matters Staff Published 12/10/19 9:18 PM EST.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Monday made a point to heap more praise on Democrats who flipped Republican seats in the 2018 midterms and downplayed representatives like herself and freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who carried districts where a 'glass of water' with a 'D' next to it could win.
“When we won this election, it wasn’t in districts like mine or Alexandria’s,” Pelosi said. “[S]he’s a wonderful member of Congress as I think all of our colleagues will attest. But those are districts that are solidly Democratic.”
To drive the point home she picked up a water glass next to her and said: “This glass of water would win with a ‘D’ next to its name in those districts.”
Pelosi, who is traveling in Europe with a congressional delegation this week, made the comments during an appearance before the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Pelosi’s comment appeared to be her latest attempt to play down the influence of the Democrats’ progressive wing. During a Sunday interview with CBS News’ Lesley Stahl on “60 Minutes,” Pelosi said that faction was “like five people.”
Turning Point USA’s Benny Johnson traveled to socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D) 14th congressional district in New York and asked numerous people what they thought about socialism.
Johnson told The Daily Wire that he stood in an area in Ocasio-Cortez’s district for 90 minutes and spoke to 12 random people and asked them their thoughts on socialism.
One man, from Yugoslavia, told Johnson: “I was born in a socialist country and I came to this country to get away from socialism.” When asked if he thought socialism “sucked,” the man said “yes.”
Another man told Johnson: “Socialism is the worst. It doesn’t work. It doesn’t work.”
A woman, who was featured multiple times throughout the video, told Johnson: “I like capitalism, I like the fact that I earn my bucks and I spend them on [myself], which I’m going to now.”
“I work because I choose to,” the woman later added. “I give to my church, again, because I choose to. Nobody tells me what to do.”
A restaurant chef, who said that he wanted to open up his own restaurant someday, told Johnson: “I don’t agree with socialism. Socialism is supposed to be like where everybody gets the same amount. I want to do better than people if I work harder and stuff like that.”
Another man told Johnson: “If you give everything, you give everybody anything, they could just stay home and then what’s the point? What’s the drive? And that’s why socialism is not right for America.”
A man standing next to him chimed in, “All socialism does is just encourages people just to sit back and do nothing. Eventually, it’s gonna go broke. You know, how you gonna pay for free stuff? I’m against freeloaders. You got to work. You got to earn it.”
When shown the Green New Deal, including the part where it mentioned the idea of taking care of people who were unwilling to work, the man said: “Yeah, we have plenty of freeloaders in society today. They think that they can just print money and it will solve the problem, it doesn’t work that way.”
The man had the following message for Ocasio-Cortez: “If you love it so much, go to all these other countries that have socialism. See how it will work. Look at what happened in Venezuela.”
One man, who drove a Mercedes, told Johnson that he “loved” socialism.
Another man, when asked about his thoughts on socialism, walked off and refused to answer.

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll from March found that being a socialist was the most undesirable quality that a presidential candidate could have in the eyes of voters.
“Of socialism in general, only 18% of respondents approved, while 50% of respondents disapproved,” The Daily Wire reported. “Conversely, 50% of respondents approved of capitalism with only 19% disapproving.”
Ocasio-Cortez’s social media incidents, childish antics during hearings, and policy ideas have all contributed to her poll numbers being devastated. Left-leaning Vox reported:
A Quinnipiac poll released on Thursday morning found that 23 percent of Americans had a favorable view of the member of Congress, while 36 percent had an unfavorable view — a -13 overall approval rating…
…This new poll isn’t a one-off finding. Three prior surveys — one in January from Morning Consult, one in February from Fox, and a third in mid-March from Gallup — all found that more Americans had negative views of AOC than had positive ones.
Another poll found that Ocasio-Cortez’s sabotaging of the Amazon deal in New York City had greatly damaged her image among New Yorkers. The Daily Wire reported:

The findings of the Siena College poll of New Yorkers taken between March 10-14 prompted Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg to say, “Only 12 percent call her hero, while 38 percent label her a villain.”

“Ocasio-Cortez, with a negative 31-44 percent favorability rating, is as well known to statewide voters after three months in office as Gillibrand is after ten years as senator,” Greenberg said. “While Democrats view Ocasio-Cortez favorably, independents view her unfavorably more than two-to-one and Republicans view her unfavorably, 68-6 percent. She is viewed slightly favorably in New York City but strongly unfavorably upstate and in the downstate suburbs.”
