Proving once again that a college education does not equate to intelligence, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weighed in on the Daniel Penny verdict.
Penny was declared not guilty in the death of Jordan Neely, and this just doesn’t sit right with leftists like AOC. A reporter asked the representative how she feels about Penny saying he wouldn’t hesitate to do it again if he was put in that situation a second time, and the congresswoman wasted no time clutching her pearls.

“Well you know, doesn’t that, I just feel like, that, that tells us everything. If we do not want violence on our subways, and the point of our justice system is a level of accountability to prevent a person who does not have remorse about taking another person’s life- I mean even people who have engaged in manslaughter or who have taken a life accidentally, express remorse. And so the fact that a person may express no remorse, indicates that there’s a risk it may happen again. And if we don’t want to unleash that violence, then we should exert a level of accountability, to prevent that from happening,” AOC rambled.
X users couldn’t believe what they were hearing:
This is what happens when you have barmaids in Government, no disrespect to barmaids but she only has a BLM Democrat Agenda/Narrative of the facts.
EVERYONE on that subway train thanks Daniel Penny because they felt threatened, also Neely was alive when NYC EMT’s arrived but THEY…— Steve Kerwin (@stevenkerwin) December 10, 2024

Yes, had there been accountability for Neely, he wouldn’t have been on the subway threatening people while having a warrant for assault. He wouldn’t have died. He would be in prison instead.

God just when you thought she couldn’t get any Dumber. I guess the subway was really safe when Neely was threatening to kill people and punched his 67-year-old woman in the face. How about when he kidnapped a 7 year old? You’re right we all would have been safer if he lived

Maybe she’s never been on the subway.

AOC is just saying what she’s supposed to say in order to appease her woke far left and BLM supporters.
No honest person believes we need fewer people willing to step up and protect work and children from being assaulted on the subway.

She only has an issue because Daniel Penny is white.
If an illegal immigrant saved a train full of people that day in the same manner.
