Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) was confronted by pro-Palestinian protestors on Monday while she was walking out of a movie theater in Brooklyn. A crowd followed AOC out of the theater and down the block while calling for her to denounce Israel and call its campaign against Hamas a “genocide.”
From The Daily Wire:
AOC, who was walking with her spouse, was confronted by a masked man inside of a building who said, “You refuse to call it a genocide —”
AOC aggressively turned around and got in the man’s face and said: “I need you to understand that this is not okay.” She and her spouse then turned around and walked down the escalators.
“It’s not that there’s a genocide happening and you’re not actively against it,” the man said as she walked away.
“You’re lying!” she yelled back.
Another woman confronted AOC over the issue and AOC again lost her cool and got up in the woman’s face.
After a while, the man she was with finally decided to try to protect her by getting in between her and the activists as they walked outside onto the street.
“You’re gonna cut this and you’re gonna clip this so that it’s completely out of context,” AOC raged at the activists. “I already said that it was! And y’all are just going to pretend that it wasn’t over and over again!”

AOC previously posted on X that the point of protesting was to make people uncomfortable.
“The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable. Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows. To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable… that’s the point,” AOC posted in 2020.
