Kevin O’Leary Criticizes AOC’s Leadership in Fiery On-Air Rant
Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary, known for his direct and outspoken demeanor, recently made headlines after delivering a scathing critique of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) during an appearance on Fox News' The Story . His comments, sharp and unapologetic, reflect his disapproval of the congresswoman's approach to leadership and policy-making.
O’Leary began by acknowledging AOC’s skill as a marketer, but he didn’t hold back in labeling her as "one of the worst managers" he’s ever seen. He expressed his frustration with her governance, stating, “If I lived in her district, which I consider one of the worst managed in the country, I would fire her and hire someone better.” His remarks pointed to a lack of substantive accomplishments, suggesting that much of her time is spent on social media rather than addressing pressing local and national issues.

One of the focal points of O’Leary’s criticism was AOC’s role in opposing Amazon’s plan to build a second headquarters in New York, which he described as a disastrous decision. According to O’Leary, the rejection of Amazon’s HQ2 project denied thousands of jobs and economic opportunities to the community. He remarked, “She destroyed the chances for 10,000 people. I’ve never forgiven her for that.”
O’Leary also drew a stark contrast between AOC’s social media activity and tangible outcomes for her constituents. “She’s brilliant at raising money in small amounts by saying outrageous things, but what has she really done for her district lately?” he challenged.
The entrepreneur’s critique wasn’t limited to AOC’s leadership. He came to the defense of Elon Musk, who has been a target of AOC’s criticism over his political influence and statements about government inefficiency. O’Leary praised Musk for his achievements and vision, stating, “He’s got an incredible track record and knows how to execute. He’s putting pressure on lawmakers to cut waste—something I find fascinating and necessary.”
In a broader context, O’Leary’s comments come as AOC continues to champion progressive causes, including her recent involvement with striking Amazon workers demanding better labor conditions. While O’Leary dismissed her leadership style, AOC’s supporters argue that her advocacy work and grassroots efforts reflect a commitment to representing working-class Americans.
The clash between these two high-profile figures highlights the growing divide in American politics. Whether one views O’Leary’s remarks as constructive criticism or undue harshness, they underline the ongoing debate about leadership, accountability, and the balance between visibility and effectiveness in public service.
