Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) shredded Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio Cortez for ignoring the two NYPD officers who were shot in her district by an illegal migrant from Venezuela.
Malloitakis shared the story on X, calling AOC “Baby Girl,” invoking AOC’s recent clash with Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in which the Squad member called MTG “Baby girl.”
Hey Baby Girl,” Malliotakis wrote on X Tuesday night, tagging Ocasio-Cortez. “Two cops were shot in your district by an illegal immigrant who we NOW find out is a Venezuelan gang member being housed in a hotel at our constituents’ expense and you still have NOTHING to say about it?? Really?”

From Fox News:
Authorities said [19-year-old Bernardo Raul Castro Mata] illegally entered the United States last July near Eagle Pass, Texas, and was staying at a migrant shelter in East Elmhurst, Queens.
Though he has no prior arrests in New York City, police said Castro Mata is suspected in a string of robberies and is part of a crew using motorized scooters to commit crimes.
The shooting unfolded just before 1:45 a.m. Monday at the intersection of 89th Street and 23rd Avenue in the Elmhurst neighborhood of Queens when two officers, part of the 115th Precinct’s public safety unit, attempted to pull over a male suspect driving a scooter the wrong way. Castro Mata fled on foot and shot at the two officers, who returned fire, police said.
AOC has not responded to comment requests.
Malliotakis addressed the issue on the House floor this week.

It’s been over 24 hours and @RepAOC hasn’t said anything about the preventable & senseless shooting of two NYPD officers in her district. How long until these Democrats start putting the safety of American citizens before those coming to our country illegally? pic.twitter.com/sIIpieeXZ5
