Protesters confronted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at a town hall in her district the other night. How did she respond?
Dancing. She danced as they shouted, “AOC has got to go!”
From The New York Post:
At one point, the lawmaker appeared to spot a sign in the crowd reading, “Wake up New York. Vote for Tina Forte. F–k AOC.”“Very classy. Thank you, sir,” Ocasio-Cortez said of the sign referencing her Republican opponent.AOC later tried to reason with the angry demonstrators and get them to quiet down and engage in a conversation.“Respectfully, ma’am, you’re saying, ‘Ask us why’ — Y’all have been talking for 20 minutes, OK? We know why. We know why you’re mad,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Let’s talk about it.”Her plea didn’t work, as a female protester then began hurling obscene remarks at the congresswoman.As if things couldn’t get any worse for the Democrat, the lights in the auditorium went out and Ocasio-Cortez had to be escorted off the stage. When the lights came back on after about a minute, AOC joked, “I’m not allowed to be in a room with the lights turned off.”
AOC is running for a third term, which she will likely win in November since her district is deep blue.
