DeFazio and AOC: Team Abolish Prisons

July 27, 2021

As Democrats struggle to shed their pro-crime image, Peter DeFazio’s campaign benefactor, AOC is calling for the abolition of prisons.

At a rally for Nina Turner, Ocasio-Cortez said, “I want to abolish our carceral system that’s designed to trap Black and Brown men. I want justice.”

Peter DeFazio took $5,000 from the self-avowed socialist who wants to defund the policeabolish ICEeliminate private health insurance, open our borders and now abolish prisons.  

NRCC Comment: “Since Peter DeFazio refused to return AOC’s campaign cash, he should tell Oregonians whether he agrees with her proposal to abolish prisons and release convicted criminals into our communities.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Courtney Parella
