Veterans Walk out of Private Meeting With AOC: 'I Just Couldn't Hear Her BS Anymore'

The New York Post reports that two military veterans walked out of a private meeting with Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez earlier this week after the freshman congresswoman began bashing US foreign policy. However, AOC's office claims the two men are lying. 

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

Another veteran, "Anthony Vitaliano — an Army veteran who worked in the NYPD for 38 years, and commanded the Bronx’s homicide detectives," was sitting right next to the congresswoman and her chief of staff as she made her remarks. 

“I just couldn’t hear her BS anymore,” Vitaliano told the paper. “I just got up, got my umbrella in my hand and walked right out.”

After one board member asked about the conflict in Yemen, "The progressive firebrand slammed the US policy of providing bombs to Saudi Arabia, which has supported Yemen’s government in a brutal civil war, according to attendees. Some blamed her for not including the roles of other nations in explaining the volatile region’s violence," according to those who attended the meeting.

One anonymous attendee said he was "revolted," after AOC's calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald J. Trump "autocrats." 

When asked about the walkouts, AOC's spokesman Corbin Trent claimed they never happened. “The only person that left the meeting while it was underway was someone who had to go pick up their children,” Trent told the NYP

But Vitaliano responded saying, "That’s bulls–t. Everybody that was there knows I walked out.”

AOC ended up where she did because the district the woman comes from is a fever swamp of Marxists and Socialists.

Someone is lying. Either the vets or AOC's spokesman. My money's on AOC's spokesman.

She’s a piece of garbage and whatever garbage lives in her district that voted her in, will likely do again.

But she would be wise to stay far away from some parts of the 3 other outer boroughs and most of Staten Island.

She can go talk to the eggplants on the north shore but i dont even know if they will like her.

They can smell BS too sometimes.

Hell it lines their project hallways :)

I’d have hung on her every word. She’s dangerous, but entertaining. Sort of like a rabid poodle who might break out of its cage, but keeps ripping toy stuffed animals to shreds instead. Boy do I have a sick sense of fun.

I’m amazed every time I see that I can still respond to people here :)

I stay away from cursing and vulgar words. Those are the ones that will get you banned.

The mods are very good with someone typing the truth. :)

Vitaliano told the paper. “I just got up, got my umbrella in my hand and walked right out.”
= = = = = = = = = =
Army Vet, NYPD 38 years and UMBRELLA????

Also since AOC won with approx 16000 votes it may be time to sit back and look at OUR reasoning of why some of these idiots get elected.

Part of it may be that ‘WE’ tend to ‘force’ people into clusters of ‘their own kind’ and ‘gerrymander’ the districts around so they are virtually alone UNTIL enough get in the district and elect their ‘own’ while all around scratch themselves and say XXXXX will never get elected etc etc then P&Moan about why the likes of these idiots gets seated.

I just notice the names of the two Vets, where they are from and what they had to say about Mz Cow Fartz. Don’t ask me why but it reminded me of you. :)
