"You're a war criminal!": AOC heckled at her town hall in Queens.

[lapucelle]

AOC's town hall in Queens was disrupted last night by a pro-Palestinian protestor who stood up, pointed a finger at her, and began shouting, "You're a war criminal".

The pro-Palestinian disruptor was loudly booed and shouted down by the town hall audience until she was finally led away.

1. Fuck these people.

I'm so sick of them. They think they know everything and they know nothing.

[Skittles]

35. I'm sick of ALL of them

they've been fighting for.....how long? I've been hearing about their crap all my life. UGH.

[JBTaurus83]

51. Amen.

[kwolf68]

2. Hasn't AOC

Been pro Palestine consistently? If she’s a war criminal what is everyone else?

[RandomNumbers]

3. The "protestor" has to be blindingly stupid, or a fraud

I'm going with door #2, but sadly, door #1 is not out of the question.

[hlthe2b]

5. Yeah, probably a MAGAT disruptor posing...

[lapucelle]

10. It was probably Code Pink.

CODEPINK Members Disrupt Sen. Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at Madison GOTV Event

MADISON, WI – On Monday Oct. 28, CODEPINK and Students for Justice in Palestine organizers from Madison made their voices heard at a WisDems Get Out the Vote (GOTV) event, disrupting a rally featuring Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to call attention to the U.S. supported genocide in Gaza. Members of CODEPINK unfurled banners reading "Free Palestine" and "Stop Arming Israel" while posing the question, “If Trump’s the bigger evil, why are the Democrats bombing Gaza?” The general public started to walk out of his event, with some also shouting throughout his speech “how will you get us an arms embargo?”, “when will you talk about the war?”, “talk about Palestine!”

40. Oh yeah.. wonder who code pink v

25. Yup. Bought and paid for by pootin, through kraznov.

[lapucelle]

9. It may be a Code Pink disruptor. AOC has been chased around by them before.

Left-wing AOC was with her fiancé at a Brooklyn cinema when pro-Palestine supporters accosted her, demanding she say the word 'genocide'

Pro-Palestinian protesters accosted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez outside a cinema in Brooklyn.
They demanded that she call Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza a "genocide."
One of the most prominent leftists in the Capitol, AOC has been critical of Israel for many years.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had just left the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Brooklyn with her fiancé earlier this week when she was accosted by a group of Pro-Palestinian protesters.

Their accusation? She was not taking a hard enough line on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

13. Code Pink has become a Putin supporting organization

[lapucelle]

16. I've written about the organizations/ causes supported by Code Pink founder Jodie Evans

and her husband Neville Roy Singham at length in the past.

[RandomNumbers]

14. So, door #1

Sigh. I'd almost prefer door #2.

[lapucelle]

17. Here's the thing: AOC wound up using the term "genocide"

regarding the Israel-Hamas war shortly after that video was taken, but the protestors still weren't happy.

Nothing Democrats do ever seems to be enough.

[SSJVegeta]

29. Isnt code pink more on the actual communist side of things?

I've had the sense in the past that they are.

[yardwork]

31. They're dupes.

I don't think they know much, just what they've been fed. The people infiltrating their groups are being paid to get Republicans elected.

[SSJVegeta]

32. It seems that way

[GP6971]

48. Well OK then.

[electric_blue68]

39. Waaaay back, ?late '90s Choice Marches in DC I didn't get that impression but things can change especially...

with the Marxst guy funding them

[SSJVegeta]

27. I think the real issue at hand here is not code pink or Israel and Palestine, but rather:

Robby's beard: yay or nay?

[W_HAMILTON]

4. It doesn't matter with these people. Most didn't even know Gaza existed prior to all of this.

They are just contrarian leftists -- and some, I assume, are rightwing agitators...-- that hate the Democratic Party more than anything else. As AOC takes on a more prominent role in the party, they will turn on her as well.

[SocialDemocrat61]

6. Many turned on her and Sanders

for supporting Biden last year.

[brush]

18. Exactly. That protestor is obviously unaware of AOC's pro-Palestinian stances.

Many of these protestors don't know shit but how to grab attention to themselves, but they hurt their own cause. And btw, heiped TSF get elected again.

[uponit7771]

28. THIS !!! No way these Gaza protesters are organic... They're there to split dem voting

[Beastly Boy]

33. There is a method to this madness.

When you repeat a lie often enough, the record doesn't matter anymore.

Pure Goebbels. Because it works on enough people who keep buying this shit.

[sop]

7. The "disruptor was loudly booed and shouted down by the town hall audience."

Corporate media will now make every effort to establish equivalence between one protestor at AOC's town hall, who was loudly booed and shouted down by the rest of the crowd, and dozens of Republican town halls, where nearly the entire audience booed and shouted down their own representatives.

[Brainfodder]

8. A cult member shows themself to the light!

[Lovie777]

11. But shithole who gave BiBi his blessing...................

and what they want to do with Gaza re beach resort while getting rid of Palestinians?

Pro-Palestinians are being arrested, picked up and possibility of being deported and even sent camps/prisons outside of the USA?

And AOC is Pro-Palestinian is a war criminal?

What the fuck.

[yardwork]

30. Putin isn't paying people to disrupt Republican meetings.

It's been obvious from Oct 8, 2024 who is funding these not-at-all grassroots disruptions. And the purpose is also very clear.

[JustAnotherGen]

12. Now do a

maga Pub party member.

[newdeal2]

15. They do this at a Dem townhall because they can get away with it

Let me know if they dare protest at a Trump MAGA rally.

[CincyDem]

26. They don't do this at MAGA events because they don't want to learn Spanish with a Salvadoran accent.

[Cha]

42. They helped make it

Possible for this Nightmare we are living.

[Ponietz]

19. Asinine political strategy that cuts off its nose to spite its face

[choie]

20. Of all the people in Congress

they’re picking on AOC??? Assholes.

[lapucelle]

21. Nothing Democrats do ever seems to be enough for some of these groups. N/T

[RJ-MacReady]

24. The party

Needs to openly disavow all of these groups. Code Pink, DSA and others. One piece of our party's problem is being associated with groups like these.

[JI7]

22. These people think AOC is worse than Hamas

They think AOC is worse than Trump.

They don't give a shit about Palestinian people.

[jrthin]

23. I dare these people to say that to tsf face. nt

[Oopsie Daisy]

34. Well, that's interesting.

What are we to make of this, I wonder.

[lapucelle]

36. Nothing Democrats do is ever enough for these groups.

[Oopsie Daisy]

38. It's a repetitive theme...

... these jackasses think it's some kind of game, except the consequences are deadly. This is some serious kind of stupid that almost rises to the stupidity of the fucking "Uncommitted" movement that certain individuals in Congress were promoting. And we all see where that got us. Eh?

[mvd]

37. Must be either a disruptor or profoundly ignorant

If AOC had her way, Israel would have stopped the war long ago. Of all people to protest.

[AZProgressive]

43. Drop Site News had some reporting that the Biden Administration never pressured Israel for a ceasefire

I think some (not me) are upset that AOC claimed at the convention that Harris & others were working behind the scenes tirelessly for a ceasefire but I can understand why she did. She didn't have much leverage at the time so she really had no choice but to back the party in 2024 or otherwise she wouldn't have much of a career left in politics.

There isn't a lot of fair criticism of AOC from the left but the closest they come is when it comes to the Israel-Palestine issue but like others said if it was up to her she would have stopped Israel a long time ago.

[lapucelle]

44. That sounds like Drop Site News claimed that AOC lied about Kamala Harris

because it was a smart career move for AOC to do so, and that's garbage.

Drop Site News is the outlet Ryan Grim founded. Has he apologized for platforming Tara Reade and pushing that story into the mainstream?

[AZProgressive]

45. Drop Site News didn't claim all that

Drop Site News only claimed that Biden officials admitted they never pressured Israel to a ceasefire.

There are critics like iamblakely that are upset with AOC based on that story for claiming that Harris was working tirelessly for a ceasefire. I'm claiming that she wouldn't have much of a career in the Democratic Party if she told voters not to vote for Democrats because of Gaza. She doesn't have much leverage in the Democratic Party as it is as Gerry Connelly beat AOC for a leadership post in a committee. If she went with "abandon" Harris she wouldn't have as much of a career as she does now and what she potentially has in the future.

Ryan Grim was a longtime defender of the Squad from unfair and often untruthful criticisms from the left. I find him to be a lot more credible than most.

I don't blame him for interviewing Tara Reade, she had similar things that other news outlets used to push other sexual assault allegations in the media especially during #MeToo such as telling someone else at the time. Though it is fair to say it could have been a Russian propaganda effort from her considering how Pro Russia she is.

[yardwork]

46. That's bullshit.

We all knew a unilateral ceasefire would mean the annihilation of Israel. Biden couldn't push for that. He never claimed to be going doing so.

[Rob H.]

59. The Biden administration never pushed for a ceasefire, unilateral or otherwise

and it’s ludicrous to believe that Palestine is an existential threat to Israel, a nation that has an army at its disposal that’s been openly committing war crimes for the last year and a half and posting evidence of those crimes on social media for the entire world to see. The US should’ve stopped funding and enabling Israel a long time ago.

[mcar]

56. Who cares what some random media site says?

[ImNotGod]

52. They turned MI red, now they want to fuck up what's left of the country. They have irrevocably harmed their cause nt

[JoseBalow]

57. Nothing antisemitic about that at all

[stillcool]

53. One of my old Senators used to say

"Don't let the perfect stand in the way of progress". A friend of mine has no foundation of seeing the United States government as it is. There is right, and there is wrong, and there is no gray area, nothing in between. There is no 'behind the curtain' truth that needs to be considered. There is only her rightful, moral ideals to be considered. I know the rage that burns over seeing fellow human beings suffering, through no fault of their own. The truth, the long sordid story of how things come to be, is not only complicated, in some instances I don't think it's knowable, and certainly not something I can communicate. The anti-Kamala, anti-Democratic party, is what she latched onto as the solution, without investigating further into the why, the where and when it started. The different players, the incessant crimes perpetrated on ordinary human beings for the greater good of a multi-national corporation. Our history is unknown to so many people. Pointing fingers is the solution.

[mcar]

55. Hope this idiot is happy with her decision to run down

Democrats to get FOTUS back in office. How's that been for Gaza, moron?

[usonian]

58. Russian bots and influencers were strongly "pro Palestine" and anti-Israell during the election.

I am sure that they don't care one microshit about Palestinians. They only wanted to incite division in the Democratic party.

Much quieter with no election going on. Are you surprised?

The TrumPutin alliance.
