Red paint attack follows no vote on amendment to cut anti-missile funds – despite her rejection of $600m Israel aid bill
A Bronx office of the US House member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was vandalized early on Monday, according to New York City police, who say they are investigating.
The vandalism occurred as the progressive Democratic congresswoman grapples with “threats on [her] life”, as her campaign manager put it, after a recent US House of Representatives vote involving American aid to Israel.
Officers called out to Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign office in Westchester Square at about 12.45am found its front covered in red paint, police said. Images circulating online and on local news media outlets showed someone had left a sign which alleged that Ocasio-Cortez “funds genocide in Gaza”, though she has repeatedly criticized the Israeli military’s strikes there.
Buy the ticket enjoy the ride
Dear Alexandra, perhaps you now understand that against nazi there is no “but”. There are no “wrong” reasons to defund the fucking zionists, even if the proposal comes from an unhinged antisemitic fundamentalist fascist like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Wasn’t me
Good she should understand the box she’s opening
She’s voting to represent her constituents tho guise. Israel is so popular in New York guis.
Imagine supporting Nazis and not expecting to get treated like a Nazi lmao. Cry more zionist
AOC probably could have just owned it as a mistake, said something about it being a learning experience, and moved on without it even being a story past the day it happened.
Edit: she’ll get even more lib now and be “tough on crime” or something
She could have said nothing and people’s attention spans would have run out by now. Honestly I think that should be the default move for every public figure - it only makes sense to post first if your opposition is going to post and try to control the narrative, which in this case they definitely weren’t going to.
I wasn’t even aware DSA made a statement until I read this article. All I’ve seen are her tweets
It seems like most pubic officials have relied on that strategy until very recently. Trump keeps quadrupling down on the Epstein stuff.
This attack on my office is only 1% of the kind of hate my Jewish friends and neighbors endure daily, and these kinds of attacks are becoming endemic on the “left” and the right. To better ensure safety for myself and for my Jewish staff and colleagues, I’ve personally hired a contingent of IDF contractors to guard and investigate this awful hate crime.
Or something like that.
She could hang out with Contrapoints
She’s done, the spell has finally broken, she’s persona non grata among the grassroots
That would be cool if she got primaried by someone with a more correct reading of the Israel - Palestine situation.
I saw someone on libsky ask why they do this to her but won’t both with a Republican and wonder if people realize whoever did this likely was local to the area and didn’t travel god knows how far just for the vandalism. I don’t like lib dunking more than I already do so chose not to engage lol.
Also how do you know they haven’t targeted any republican homes? Republican homes have been targeted in the US. You dunno if it’s the same person.
Why aren’t Bronx lefties pissing on Desantis’ home??
Ya know, forgot he had a place up there, good question.
upon seeing the fire exit to her Bronx office splattered with some red paint and a post-it.That’s unacceptable, somebody call the ICC.
See tankies AOC believes in a diplomatic solution to the genocide in Gaza and in order for there to be a diplomatic solution between Palestine and Israel there must be an Israel. That’s why actually funding Isreal is a good thing actually and why by trying to defund Isreal you’re the real reason the genocide is happening!
Or something I dunno I have more than zero brain cells
though she has repeatedly criticized the Israeli military’s strikes there.
Wait since when isn’t that enough?! What next, you want people in Congress to DO something when you demand it? Entitled little shits!
She has been tirelessly working for a ceasefire
The Bronx don’t fuck around
paint attack
Lol, lmao
They wrote the same back when people were throwing milkshakes at chuds.
