Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other leftists gaslight America about the sudden crime surge

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is out explaining things again, obviously taking Americans for fools:

Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren’t paying their rent & are scared to pay their rent and so they go out and they need to feed their child and they don’t have money so… they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry.

The problem, of course, is burglaries, rapes, shootings, and murders, not the price of bread.

She’s got her Hugo Chávez on, nattering on and on in some cloud cuckoo land derived from 19th-century socialism, as if to “re-educate” her audience that the new crime wave engulfing New York and America’s big blue cities is all a problem in their heads, merely an issue of desperate people trying to steal loaves of bread, instead of a monstrous descent of one of America’s great cities into its pre-Giuliani-era Fort Apache and “Shattered” era.

Call it the great gaslight, a phenomenon where you’re living something but not supposed to believe the evidence of your own eyes.  We’re now seeing it in spades from the left as the crime wave mounts.
