A Memorial Day weekend town hall with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) devolved into pandemonium Friday night as the crowd booed and shouted insults while she attempted to discuss her policies on immigration, Ukraine funding, and the debt limit.
The event took place in the Queens neighborhood of Corona and the venue appeared to be packed with constituents. Some in the stands held signs proclaiming, “America First,” and “Stop funding Ukraine.”
AOC attempted to discuss the debt limit before being shouted down: “We should eliminate the debt limit in the United States because of the constitutional…”
One man yelled “American citizens before migrants!” waved an American flag, and screamed, “You’re a piece of shit!” at AOC as security attempted to wrangle him away. The confrontation turned into a scuffle as the man threatened security with, “Don’t you touch me!” and “Get your hands off of me!”
Some in he crowd booed as the man was ushered out while others applauded. AOC was seen standing at the podium, smiling and saying, “Okaaaaaaay…”
“Stop this war! Are you gonna stop this war, that’s my question!” one woman shouted, before adding, “Why are you afraid of your constituents?” as she was led from the stands.
Another very animated man stood up and shouted, “Wait your turn! It is not your turn!”
Fox News reported that anyone who lashed out during what was supposed to be a question and answer session was led away by security. Some constituents came to AOC’s defense during the chaos and the Congresswoman wrapped up the event by taking photos with supporters.
AOC tweeted after the tumult, “Thank you to everyone who came to our Memorial Day weekend town hall! We had such a great crowd,” AOC tweeted after the event. “It was awesome answering all your questions, discussing the debt limit negotiations, and more. See you next month!”
The tweet featured photos taken during happier moments at the event. AOC made no mention of the hecklers.

Lying by ommision
Guess they should have voted for Trump
More proof that:
The only good communist is a dead communist...
It is our duty as citizens to help everyone be as good as possible...
If we are unwilling to do our duty, maybe we should not complain...
Love it when they…
Eat their own
Get exactly what they voted for
Well, sounds like there are still a few left in NYC with a little sense.......too bad they are in the vast minority.
Pues claro-but she made her usual dumbass mistake of remembering that everyone’s phone has a camera,and there is a thing on the internet called “YouTube” as well as Fox, Newsmax and other outlets that take great delight in showing what a phony she is...
Oops! “NOT remembering”
People must be getting to the boiling point to go and raise a ruckus over there. It's submerged in the most highly concentrated deep mexico conditions which extend for many squares of miles, and replete with violent crime and mexico's mentality.
I was in the room in Oregon in 2010 when the same thing happened.
The local Democrat left rather than face voters.
The look of shock on his face showed he was SCARED!
Whaddya know.....
The “official narratives” aren’t even selling to AOC’s constituents...
I am not surprised.
Question: Would you put it past the leftists to ‘plant’ an off-the-rails MAGA impersonator? The FBI did it on Jan. 6.
And yet they will vote for her again. Mark my word.
Democrats seem to forget some only won through fraud, which means more legitimate voters voted against them than voted for them.
That can’t cleanly transfer to town halls in their areas.
Let’s hope people start calling her “POS” now instead of “AOC”!
Things never stay the same. What our country will be like a week from now is not what it’s like today nor will it be 10 months from now. This has to go somewhere. It may get better or it may get worse. But it’s not just going to stay the same.
Prepare accordingly.
Is this a conservative pocket of Queens or are people really getting fed up with the evil clown show?
Any NYC FReepers know?
Given the overt fraud we've seen since 2016, and who knows how much covert fraud, maybe they did.
What is so wrong with speaking truth to power??
