The president of a conservative group that placed a billboard in Times Square to lambast Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has spoken out, blaming the congresswoman for the loss of 25,000 jobs in New York. Ocasio-Cortez is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

In an interview with “Fox & Friends” on Feb. 25, President of the Job Creators Network (JCN) Alfredo Ortiz reiterated how the pullout of the online retail giant has cost the state 25,000 jobs, $4 billion in lost wages, and about $27 billion in lost economic activity, which is higher than the $12 billion mentioned on the billboard.
