Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had a good comeuppance on Wednesday when she was shouted down at her town hall by former supporters at the Bronxdale High School in the Bronx, New York.
Leftists in the audience stood up and ripped AOC apart for her failures in office. They said that she ran as an outsider, but now she’s going along with voting to continue war mobilization in Ukraine and bringing us closer to nuclear war.
“Tulsi Gabbard has shown guts, where you have shown cowardice,” one of the men shouted. “I believed in you and you became the very thing you sought to fight against.” “You are the establishment,” the young man said, cutting her with one of the worst things a leftist can throw at another leftist and saying she would lead us to a “nuclear war.” “This is the only thing that matters,” he said.
What was her response to these folks who wanted answers from her? “You are being rude.”
Talk about an inadequate response.
They’re right on target that she hasn’t been consistent with the positions that she ran on. She’s been far more focused on her celebrity and the left isn’t happy with that when they thought she was going to be a standard bearer for the progressives/socialists.
Notice how many empty seats the town hall had? It doesn’t look like she has a lot of supporters there, even apart from these guys who shouted her down.
People on the left continued to nail her with her own words about the purpose of protest being to make people feel uncomfortable.
It’s only “rude” when it nails her for her hypocrisy.
Some on the right weighed in on AOC’s hypocrisy as well. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said that she didn’t spend a lot of time with her constituents and that they just reminded her that she’s sold them out. “She ran as an outsider and has now just morphed into #SandyPelosi,” Boebert declared.
That prompted a meltdown from AOC claiming that she didn’t take a dime in corporate cash and holds a lot of town halls.
You can hold town halls but if you refuse to answer the questions asked, what are those town halls worth? It’s clear her leftist supporters are not happy with her and she’s not helping the situation.
Some even questioned that claim about corporate cash.
Although it should be noted that if you look at the information, the contributors appear to be individuals from those corporations.
Regardless, it looks like her meltdown only made her step in it even more with the folks on the left.
