\n AOC insisted Monday she\u2019s \u201cnot skipping debates\u201d like her predecessor Joe Crowley did to disastrous effect two years ago\u2013 as she defended her decision not to attend an in-person face-off with her primary challenges Wednesday.<\/p>\n

First-term Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens\/Bronx) took the stance she can\u2019t attend the debate because of coronavirus distancing rules, despite the fact that she\u2019s been out and about at a George Floyd protest and other group events this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe good thing is I\u2019m not skipping debates. My predecessor, he had skipped debates until he was forced to show up,\u201d she told The Post while campaigning in The Bronx Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis one [Wednesday\u2019s] is in-person, so we\u2019ve had certain issues with that being done during phase one, if that would be violating the phase one and phase two scheduled reopening by the governor. Which is why we\u2019ve committed to virtual debates and are happ<\/a>y to participate in them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez has done two online virtual debates with her primary challengers, including one on May 18.<\/p>\n

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has allowed spaced gatherings of up to 10 people since mid-May.<\/p>\n

The Parkchester Times-sponsored debate is the same one Crowley shirked in 2018.<\/p>\n

But AOC was handing out masks to George Floyd protesters in Queens on June 2 and hosted a social<\/a>ly-distanced graduation party in a church parking lot Sunday \u2014 complete with free burgers, balloon animals and a DJ.<\/p>\n

The congresswoman\u2019s well-funded challenger, former journalist Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, accused the freshman rep of violating election law by hosting the bash next to an early voting site over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cAOC directly violated the election law. She doesn\u2019t pay her taxes. She said yes to a salary increase. Who wants this type of person in Congress when we\u2019re all in trouble?\u201d Caruso-Cabrera\u2019s spokesman Hank Sheinkopf told The Post.<\/p>\n

She later moved the party a block away. A rep for AOC did not return a request for comment on the alleged violation.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
