Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) addressed the guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial on social media and declared that it wasn’t enough, nor was it justice in her opinion.
Ocasio-Cortez took to her Instagram account to post a 16 minute video from outside the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday.
“I want to just let you all know and create the affirmation that this isn’t justice, it’s not justice!” she declared.
“It’s not justice, and I’ll explain to you why it’s not justice. It’s not justice because justice is George Floyd going home tonight to be with his family,” she added.
“Justice is Adam Toledo getting tucked in by his mom tonight,” she continued, referring to a 13-year-old who was shot and killed by a police officer in Chicago after the teen threw a gun to the ground.
“Justice is when you’re pulled over, there not being a gun that’s part of that interaction, because you have a headlight out,” she added.
“Justice is your school system not having or being a part of the school to prison pipeline. Justice is a municipality and a government that does not, because it trickles down, right, that does not value military and armaments more than it values healthcare, education, and housing,” Ocasio-Cortez added.
“So no, this verdict is not justice,” she said.
She also went on to assail the leadership in her own party for funding the military instead of using that money for more social programs, and angrily denounced Democrat-controlled local governments that overfunded their police departments.
A jury found Derek Chauvin guilty of the murder of George Floyd on Tuesday. The former Minneapolis police officer faces 40 years, 25 years, and 10 years in prison over the separate charges.
Ocasio-Cortez has more than 8.8 million followers on her Instagram account. Her video on the verdict garnered more than a million views in just two hours.

More stupidity from the head bar slut!
Best comment I’ve read today. Love it.
justice would be blm activists throwing molotov cocktails at her house.
The justice will come when Jesus Christ casts psychos like AOC into the pit of hell forever.
So calls for defunding and disarmament of our military are coming next from this dimwit??? What would our military do then fight with sticks and rocks🤦♂️
justice would be her and everyone like her behind bars in one of the socialist countries that they all praise so much
What a stupid comment. Just another idiotic politician that should be bounced from office for being too ignorant to rationally do her job.
Ditto on her going to another socialist country. How long it it take her to become so ignorant? No one can be so stupid without drugs overdoses or deformed brain. She, and those like her want free everything and not work for it like decent, honest people do. She must be stupid enough to think money grows on trees. Then again, if she had a brain to put in gear before she put her mouth in motion, she would say nothing at all.!!!!!
Pay no attention, she’s just a cunt wanting attention..Her own peers cant stand her.
Hey, don’t you guys know that Alexandria Ocassio Cortez graduated from Boston University “Magna Cum Laude,” with honors, in Economics? She is an example of what is coming out of our colleges now and Boston U. is supposed to be one of the best! Would you send your son or daughter there for over $50,000 a year?
Nowadays, (is that really a word?), one goes to school 12 years to get an education,
then one goes to college for 4 years to get rid of it!
But that may soon change. I keep seeing articles about how elementary school teachers are
brainwashing kids with liberal ideas – like ‘altered history’.
AND she went on the taxpayer dime.
This mindless idiot just keeps making a fool of herself with the most stupid remarks imaginable!
The only good thing she ever did was disprove the old ‘dumb blonde’ stereotype!
AOC, just STFU.
Loud mouthed congresswomen who twist the facts to fit the lie they are currently backing isn’t justice either. Consensus by social media isn’t justice either.
This loud-mouthed negro just wants part of the $27million payout that Floyds family got.
Shut the FUCK up, bartender and get us another round of beers. I am tired of this 30 something, done nothing, know nothing bitch. Why doesn’t somebody in her district do “something” with her. Oh that’s right, fags and trans don’t have the cajones.
Seriously people like her are just idiots looking to stir the pot as they are never satisfied if we aren’t at each others throats, they complain when prosecutors don’t have enough evidence to convict and now they are complaining when they do…
More sewage spewed from the pie-hole of Queen Turd of the shit pile!!
Justice would be to find her guilty of treason, and her sentence to remove her head. She must have trouble sleeping at night. On the other hand people as stupid as her do not know that they are that stupid, and sleep at night. She needs some justice thrown her way. I wonder how she got reelected after killing all the Amazon jobs in her district…I guess the same way the Cheater in Chief got elected.
Well, she’s right about one thing… this is NOT justice! How can you have “Justice” when you are “Guilty” of 1. Manslaughter, 2. 2nd Degree Murder, AND 3. 3rd Degree Murder, all for killing ONE MAN? I just cannot understand how Chauvin can be guilty of “Manslaughter, or 3rd Degree Murder, when he is guilty of 2nd Degree Murder? Or be guilty of 2nd AND 3rd Degree Murder AND Manslaughter? Seriously, WTF??? She’s correct, this was NOT justice, it was State Sanctioned murder in the name of Social Justice! But, thanks to AOC, and Aunty Maxine Waters, and several other high profile idiots, Chauvin’s lawyer will undoubtedly Apeal his conviction(s), and get a Mistrial… or two…
