Town hall attendee confronts AOC over Gaza, accuses her of dishonesty

  • Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a district town hall in New York on a Friday evening when a protester interrupted the event by shouting about genocide in Gaza.
  • The disruption occurred before Ocasio-Cortez began discussing Trump administration budget cuts, and the protester demanded answers about the Gaza conflict, creating tension early in the event.
  • The protester, identified as a healthcare worker, accused Ocasio-Cortez of dishonesty while the crowd chanted 'Shame!' and staff eventually escorted the protester out of the venue.
  • Ocasio-Cortez, who raised $9.6 million from 266,000 small donors recently, urged attendees to follow ground rules and wait for the Q&A to discuss controversial issues respectfully.
  • The incident highlighted ongoing divisions over U.S. Policy on Gaza and demonstrated the challenges Ocasio-Cortez faces managing dissent within her constituency at public forums.
