In the tense footage, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was shouted down by a crowd of her constituents who were furious about the resettlement of illegal immigrants in their city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As background, the incident occurred at The Variety Boys &amp; Girls Club of Queens in Astoria, which is located in the far-left AOC\u2019s district. The congresswoman, who held the event to engage with her voters, got more than she bargained for when a passionate group of protestors chanted slogans like \u201cAOC has got to go\u201d and mocked the New York Democrat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Voicing their anger, activists carried signs and voiced their anger at AOC by blasting her soft-on-crime policies. Cortez was left sputtering after a woman, holding a sign which read \u201cAOC IS AN OBVIOUS CRIMINAL,\u201d confronted her. Once she found her footing, Rep. Cortez claimed that she \u201cHad reduced crime by up to 50%,\u201d and bragged about the number of psychologists recently hired in her district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rumble\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/embed\/v6prm4j\/?pub=4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Increasing the tension, one protester criticized AOC for her district\u2019s LGBTQ+ shelters, which provide accommodations exclusively to sexual minorities. He asked AOC, \u201cSo if I don\u2019t have [gay relations], I don\u2019t have a place to live?\u201d Rep. Cortez mouthed a half-hearted reply before the crowd shouted her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concluding the chaotic scene, the event organizers turned off the lights and rushed the congresswoman out of the room. As the protesters continued to heckle her, the Democrat can be heard bizarrely claiming, \u201cI\u2019m not allowed to be in a room with the lights turned off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is far from AOC\u2019s only run-in with public criticism. As we reported, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at protestors who confronted her and her fianc\u00e9 Riley Roberts on the streets of New York City by pressing her to condemn Israel for \u201cgenocide.\u201d A masked man accosted the squad member, saying, \u201cYou refuse to call it a genocide. I need you to understand that this is not OK.. It\u2019s not OK that there\u2019s a genocide happening and you\u2019re not actively against it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Escalating into a shouting match, the heckler continued. He said, \u201cIt\u2019s not ok that there\u2019s a genocide happening and you\u2019re not actively against it.\u201d Responding to the protester, AOC retorted, \u201cYou\u2019re lying,\u201d before quickly moving away from the confrontation. Although Ocasio-Cortez and her fianc\u00e9 made their exit from the building, protestors followed her onto the streets of NYC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAOC Has Got to Go\u201d: Shouting Protesters Humiliate AOC, Turn Her \u201cListening Forum\u201d to Chaos [WATCH]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riley Roberts, AOC\u2019s fianc\u00e9, was visibly frustrated with the masked protestors and commanded them to \u201cstop\u201d as the engagement had spilled onto a public sidewalk. AOC then addressed the group, stating, \u201cI already said that it was, and you\u2019re y\u2019all gonna pretend that it wasn\u2019t over and over again. It\u2019s f**ked up, man. And you\u2019re not helping these people, and you\u2019re not helping them.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"684f6003e199ca137b09540a661b4c2d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- Composite Start -->\r\n<div id=\"M940464ScriptRootC1583286\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/jsc.adskeeper.com\/k\/o\/kohajone.press.1583286.js\" async>\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- Composite End -->\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While this dramatic event was filmed three years ago in 2022, the dramatic incident shown is still relevant to current politics because it proves that even in&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11452"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11452\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11453,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11452\/revisions\/11453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
