AOC Snaps at NYC Protesters At Movie Theater Demanding she call Israel’s military campaign in Gaza genocide: ‘It’s f—ked up’
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at protesters who accosted her at a Brooklyn movie theater and demanded the lefty lawmaker call Israel’s military campaign in Gaza a “genocide,” new video shows.
Ocasio-Cortez was with her fiancé Riley Roberts when she lost her cool and dropped an f-bomb as a couple of protesters badgered her at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema around 5 p.m. Monday.
The protesters complained that Ocasio-Cortez, 34, won’t publicly call Israel’s bombing of the Palestinian territory a “genocide” as they confronted her inside the downtown Brooklyn theater, according to the footage.

“I need you to understand that this is not OK,” she told one male protester who held an iPhone near her face.
“It’s not OK that there’s a genocide happening and you’re not actively against it,” the protester shot back.
“You’re lying,” Ocasio-Cortez countered as she walked down an escalator with her beau.
The protesters continued to trail behind the Democrat, who was visibly aggravated as she made her way toward the exit. Between sets of escalators, Ocasio-Cortez got in the face of the protesters to again defend herself before walking away.
Following Monday’s confrontation an old tweet resurfaced online where Ocasio-Cortez said protesting was supposed to make people “uncomfortable,” with some social media users calling the past message ironic.
