Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) “literally ran” away from a potential Republican challenger during the National Puerto Rican Day Parade on June 9, her opponent claimed.
Rich Valdes, a conservative radio producer who plans to move to Ocasio-Cortez’s district to run against her in 2020, said the freshman congresswoman ran across to the other side of the street, seemingly to avoid him as he tried to introduce himself and to invite her to debate the issues during the parade.
