'Let's just slow down a bit': AOC tells voters to embrace New York's controversial bail reforms

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Saturday that New Yorkers should give the state's newly-implemented bail reforms “a shot.”

Ocasio-Cortez, 30, told the New York Post, “Give it a shot. We’ve had almost no time since these things have passed. So I would just say, in this environment with political pressure, to maybe just say let’s just slow down a bit.”

New York’s bail reforms, which were implemented this year, prevent judges from imposing bail for people who commit minor crimes or nonviolent offenses. The law has been blamed for allowing offenders to reoffend, including one who allegedly slapped Orthodox Jewish women.
