The Democratic lawmaker chimed in on news Friday that Amazon would be pausing construction of its second headquarters in Northern Virginia amidst the company’s current job cuts.
Sharing a Bloomberg story on the development, the congresswoman tweeted, “When I opposed this Amazon project coming to New York bc it was a scam of public funds, the whole power establishment came after us.

She added, “In the end, we were right.”
In a subsequent tweet, the lawmaker took aim those who criticized her campaign to block the construction project.
