Ocasio-Cortez, who became a household name after defeating Democratic incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley (D., N.Y.) back in June, has criticized Uber several times on Twitter as recently as March, in a post flagged by Fox News.
NYC’s fourth driver suicide. Yellow cab drivers are in financial ruin due to the unregulated expansion of Uber. What was a living wage job now pays under minimum,” she tweeted.
The driver killed himself because, with cheaper alternatives like Uber, he faced increased financial difficulties, according to his Facebook posts.

Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign staff recorded spending nearly $4,000 on 160 Uber rides between April and late June, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records. The Uber payments ranged from just 59 cents to $82.26 and were filed under “car service,” according to Fox.
