representative. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had some choice words for some protesters who approached her at a movie theater.
On Monday night, FreedomNewsTV posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) showing Ocasio-Cortez being harassed by protesters at the theater. The demonstrators objected to the MP's speech regarding the Israeli war in Gaza after the Hamas attacks on October 7, in which 1,200 Israelis were killed and more than 200 others were kidnapped. In the subsequent Israeli invasion of Gaza, more than 30,000 Palestinians were killed.
In the videoProtesters repeatedly question why Ocasio-Cortez is with her fiancé Riley Roberts, He did not call Israel's actions are “genocide”:
Protester: You refuse to call it genocide.
AOC: I want you to understand that this is not okay.
Protester: It is not acceptable for genocide to occur and you are not actively against it.
AOC: You're lying.
Protester: Am I lying? you are not. I went to TV [inaudible]
Ocasio-Cortez, who stays away from protesters throughout the video, interacts with them several times.
Another protester told her: “More than 30,000 people have died, Australian Oil Company.” “Can't you just say it for once? Just say the word. That's it! That's all we want you to say!”
As they exit the building, Roberts turns to the protesters and implores them to stand down. “Whoa. Yes?” “Whoa,” he says.
At the end of the video, Ocasio-Cortez tells a protester that the footage will be edited to remove context:
…And you're going to cut this, you're going to cut this so that it's completely out of context. I already said that it was. And you'll all pretend it didn't happen over and over again. He messed it up, man! You are not helping your people! And you are not helping them! You are not helping them!
