Ocasio Cortez Uber
Ocasio-Cortez has been critical of Uber in the past. Earlier this year, she urged her millions of followers to boycott the service. “It’s a small but big way you can help all the drivers you. Since declaring her candidacy in May 2017, Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign heavily relied on those combustion-engine cars — even though a subway station was just 138 feet from her Elmhurst campaign.
WFB: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) came out in support of striking Uber and Lyft drivers on Wednesday and asked her followers to boycott the rideshare companies, but campaign finance records show her team spent nearly $2,000 on rides through them in just three months.
The boycott call from the New York socialist comes as drivers for the two companies went on strike to protest for higher wages. One of the biggest protest sites is in Ocasio-Cortez’s district in New York City, which has been ground zero in the fight between rideshare and traditional taxi services.
