Gillibrand offers her take on Ocasio-cortez, Amazon

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is stopping short of agreeing with fellow New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-cortez’s comments celebrating Amazon’s plans to cancel building a second headquarters in the state.

A freshman House member, OcasioCortez hailed the cancellation as a day “dedicated, everyday New Yorkers and their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed.”

Campaigning for president Monday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Gillibrand said she thinks Ocasio-cortez’s point is that subsidies given to Amazon were outrageous, not that she didn’t want the jobs in New York
