AOC . . . MIA?

  
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,  U.S. Representative for the New York 14th Congressional District, where were you Monday, Memorial Day?  Your constituents missed your presence in the Queens part of your district at the annual Woodside Catholic War Veterans' parade -  a traditional solemn remembrance of those local members of the armed forces who gave their lives to protect our country.  

Your predecessor, Joseph Crowley, can be seen in the following photos respectfully present at last year's annual occasion.   Why haven't you followed in his footsteps by attending this event?   Also, why was it that your colleague (also here depicted), in the neighboring 6th Congressional District, Representative Grace Meng, was able to attend the Maspeth Memorial Day parade in the area she represents the day before?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:  Where were you?  Perhaps making another promotional self-serving movie, blabbing on Twitter, rock 'n' rollin' with Riley?

At the conclusion of the first of the parade wreath-layings,
 the spectators head for the parade line of march.
  AOC - aka Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - was not seen here
 nor at any of the other Woodside venues.

abuts in Queens the 6th that is represented by
Congresswoman Grace Meng.   Meng is seen here
finding the time to proudly march in the previous
day's parade in her district in Maspeth.   Alexandria Ocasio-
Cortez, why were you not marching in the parade in
 Woodside in your district?
