AOC Brutally Roasted By Mr. Wonderful: ‘Would Not Let Her Manage A Candy Store’

Real estate investor and longtime “Shark Tank” host Kevin O’Leary once again weighed in on the state of New York City during an interview with former Fox News host Tyrus. This time, “Mr. Wonderful” took aim at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), stating that he would not trust her to run a candy store.

“I look at AOC, what an incredible, incredibly successful politician she is, and what a horrific manager she is. Her jurisdiction looks like a third-world country, and yet she’s great at social media and making outrageous statements and getting five dollars at a time on every way she can on social media,” O’Leary said. “Good for her.”

O’Leary then pointed to AOC’s opposition to Amazon coming to the New York area before pondering how her constituents continue to elect her.

“How does that survive?” he asked. “Wouldn’t you say, ‘Excuse me, I live here, I pay taxes here, and I don’t think you’re doing a great job for me as a manager. How about I hire somebody else? that’s what I would encourage.”

When asked whether his opposition to the far-left congresswoman’s policies was personal or purely business-related, the Shark Tank mainstay argued that while “everything is personal” in the current environment, her record alone is disqualifying.

“So if she was a business, would you pass? Let me be specific. I would not let her manage a candy store,” O’Leary said.

In recent weeks and months, O’Leary has emerged as a leading critic of a number of New York’s leftist policies. He has most frequently discussed Attorney General Letitia James’ dubious civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump, as he also has major real estate holdings within the city.

“Every single real estate developer everywhere on earth does this. They always talk about their asset being worth a lot and the bank says no. That’s just the way it is,” O’Leary said after Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron levied a $434 million fine against the former president.

“Who lost money? Nobody. The bank got paid back the construction finance loan and a new building was built,” he argued, pointing out the lack of financial harm in such transactions.

“If you’re going to sue this case and win, you gotta sue every real estate developer everywhere. This is all they do.”
