AOC goes on wild rant at anti-Israel protesters, calling them ‘f***ed up’ after they confront her in NYC movie theater, demanding she call Gaza military campaign ‘genocide’

Leftist ‘team’ Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at an anti-Israel protester who confronted her and her fiance in a movie theater and demanded she call what’s happening in Gaza a ‘genocide’.

Pro-Palestine protesters assaulted Ocasio-Cortez and fiancé Riley Roberts outside the Alamo Drafthouse boutique theater in Brooklyn.

“You refuse to call it genocide, I need you to understand that this is not okay,” the protester says.

‘It is not right that a genocide is happening and you are not actively against it,’ adds the protester.

Ocasio-Cortez yells back, ‘You’re lying!’

Ocasio-Cortez was visibly angry, and he fired back at the protesters.

‘I already said it was. And you’ll just pretend it wasn’t. Over and over again. It’s damned man. And you are not helping these people. You don’t help them,’ she says.

“Why don’t you want to say it in front of everyone, why us?” you answer.

The protesters continue: ‘If you can’t say it, just say it. Literally. We’re just talking to you like normal people. Just say it’s genocide. Just say it. Over 30,000 people are dead AOC, can’t you just say it for once? Just say the word, that’s it. That’s all we want you to say.’

Roberts tries to dissuade the protesters from continuing to follow her as they exit the theater.

At one point, Ocasio-Cortez cringes that they will take what she says ‘out of context’ and make it go viral.

Ocasio-Cortez, seen as the most prominent leftist in the House of Representatives, has been critical of Israel as recently as the weeks after the October 7 Hamas terror attack.

She joined her fellow Democrats in the hours after the attack in calling for ‘de-escalation and a ceasefire’ and has repeated those claims, lambasting both Israel and Hamas and describing the IDF’s military campaign as committing ‘war crimes’.

Ocasio-Cortez was even criticized for her Christmas post, which called Israel a violent occupying power and compared Jesus to the Palestinians.

Posted on Instagram on Christmas Eve, AOC shared a photo of a child lying on a pile of rubble surrounded by wooden Nativity icons.

Along with the photo, the New Yorker wrote: ‘In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents.’

She went on to compare Jesus being hunted by King Herod to the ‘right-wing forces’ currently ‘violently occupying Bethlehem’.

Her post sparked a fierce backlash online, with some accusing her of ‘Semitism’.

Ocasio-Cortez’s pro-Palestinian sympathies were noted as early as 2019, her first year in Congress

She claimed that Palestinians have no choice but to rebel against Israel – and agreed with a radio host that the country is ‘criminal’.
