Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, said retailers could be fabricating the rash of smash-and-grab burglaries and “flash mob” shoplifting sprees.
“We have to talk about specifics because, for example, we’re actually seeing a lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out,” she told The Washington Times. “I believe it’s a Walgreens in California cited it, but the data didn’t back it up.”

Gee, what's that, a conspiracy theory? Say it ain't so, I thought those were the province of right wing wackos.
At root, we can look at the motivated reasoning here from AOC, and realize that her animal instincts are aware that this organized crime phenomenon can be blamed directly on the culture of her side.
Didn't need AOC to establish that for us though. Lots of high status progressives in San Francisco have been trying to conspiracy theorize the organized crime away from public consciousness. Indeed to shame those who care about it, as sniffing of right wing racism.
