New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been slammed for being 'outsmarted by bartender' Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after his push for an Amazon HQ in Queens collapsed.

The 61-year-old faced a torrent of emails ridiculing him over losing the $3billion deal following fierce opposition from the congresswoman and former bartender.

The retail giant cancelled plans to build in Long Island City on February 14 due to the backlash led by 30-year-old AOC.

Cuomo has been sent around 2,200 messages about the deal, which have emerged after a New York Post FOI request.

Patricia Kaufman wrote: 'You got outsmarted by a bartender … thanks.'

David Sorbellini posted: 'What a dysfunctional scenario to unfold under your watch. AOC has played you swiftly. WOW!'

Anne Catalano told the three-term governor the Democrat Party 'has lost its mind'.

She added: 'Seriously? We lost AMAZON'S headquarters?!! Are you all so afraid of AOC and screaming, stupid protesters who don't understand Economics 101??? Is she so intimidating that you and [Mayor] De Blasio couldn't get this done? SHAME ON YOU!!!!'

Around 1,500 emails and letters were sent after the Amazon deal collapsed, while the other 700 followed the deal's proposal in November.

The online retailer pulled the plan after unexpected opposition, with some politicians furious over the nearly $3billion in tax incentives Amazon was promised.

The decision was a serious blow to Mayor Bill de Blasio and Cuomo, who had lobbied intensely to land the campus within city limits.

But Amazon said at the time: 'A number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence and will not work with us to build the type of relationships that are required to go forward.'

AOC was among the more high-profile critics of the deal from the Democratic Party's leftward flank.

'I think it's incredible. It shows that everyday Americans still have the power to organize and fight for their communities and have more say than the richest man in the world,' she said at the time.

When questioned about the loss of a promised 25,000 jobs for New Yorkers, Ocasio-Cortez hit back saying the city was 'subsiding those jobs' anyway.

'So if we were willing to give away $3 billion for this deal we could invest those $3 billion in our district ourselves if we wanted to. We could hire out more teachers, fix our subways,' she said.

'Additionally, there was no guarantee those jobs were for the New Yorkers that were here. I think we can come absolutely together to create an economic plan that actualy invests in New Yorkers and higher wages.'

She has not commented on the FOI remarks.

Spokesman for Cuomo Rich Azzopardi said: 'There is no doubt losing Amazon was a major political blunder by opposing officials and pure pandering at the expense of responsible governing.'
