Imagine living in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district and thinking you just didn’t see her enough on cable TV or on social media — what she really needed was a giant mural on the Lower East Side that Gothamist says “kinda sorta looks like her.”

Vacant and 2 dimensional: it's a very accurate depiction. #Caring https://t.co/tG4sT3lFUB

Gothamist reports that there are mixed reactions to the 10-by-8-foot painting by artist Lexi Bella.
Passersby had a range of reactions to the mural. Fabian from New Jersey told Gothamist that, “She hasn’t really done anything yet” to warrant her own mural. One woman speeding by shouted, “AOC!” with a raised fist. Another person named Bridget said she absolutely deserved the mural because “she’s a wonderful local hero!” Even Ted from the Lower East Side had to agree: “Yeah, that’s AOC. She’s probably the stupidest person in Congress, so I don’t know whether she deserves a mural but people should know who she is.”
The giant painting is actually pretty representative of how Ocasio-Cortez wants to oversee every aspect of American citizens’ lives with her Green New Deal. But what’s the mural doing on a wall? Walls are an immorality. And it’s behind a fence, too!

Waste of perfectly good paint.

It’s almost perfect. The eyes need to be crossed a little more & there needs to be a little cloud hanging over her head.

Don’t fret: the Green New Deal will make it so all of those buildings are either renovated or rebuilt to environmental standards.
Why is this mural on the Lower East Side? AOC aka "Sandy" is from wealthy Yorktown, NY.

No, she’s most definitely Alex from the Bronx. Just ask her.
Hand out awards and trophies for everyone just for participating. Has done zero. Another grifter who can’t make a living in the real world and has to grift to make $ from politics.
