Veterans walk out of meeting with Ocasio-Cortez after she bashes US foreign policy
New York Post ^ | 06-01-19 | Isabel Vincent and Shant Shahrigian

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez bashed US foreign policy during a private meeting with Bronx community leaders, prompting two military veterans to storm out.

“She knocks the country, she knocks the president. And that’s not what America is about,” said Silvio Mazzella, a Vietnam War vet and treasurer of Community Board 11.

Anthony Vitaliano — an Army veteran who worked in the NYPD for 38 years, and commanded the Bronx’s homicide detectives — was sitting between Ocasio-Cortez and a staffer for the freshman Dem.

“I just couldn’t hear her BS anymore,” the former CB11 chairman said. “I just got up, got my umbrella in my hand and walked right out.”

Good for him and my condolences for living in the worst leftist shthole in the country. He should move, best thing I ever did. The doctor said if my blood pressure got any higher I would blow out my kidneys and I’m not fat, just the stress of living around the worst leftist commie America hating punks in the country was killing me.

Was there a point to this meeting to begin with?

Did someone make the mistake of telling her she was cute when she was five? It is not normal to contort one’s face like that.

Maybe to address accusations that she’s never in her district? Then again, the meeting may not have been, either...

She is a "child of privilege" as you can see
I've read that she's "daddy's little princess" who can do no wrong.
That would explain a lot.

I think there are legitimate criticisms of Trump’s foreign policy strategy. Simultaneous trade wars with multiple powerful nations is not wise even if the policy aims of correcting decades of abuses in trade has merit.

That being said, AOC opposes Trump because she views him a a greater threat to her vision of America than the threat from China Russia and Iran. This is not news. The left and deep state have have played this game for years.

Trump can’t dismiss AOC and her followers so lightly. Trump needs to find a basis for some semblance of unity. But that won’t happen and the Left will engage in even more collaboration with China Russia and the islamists.

Too much too fast. The neocons and deep staters know Trumps personality flaws and are pushing his buttons.
