Fox News reported:

A hysterical protester yelling about the “genocide” in Gaza interrupted a district town hall event being held by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., shortly after it began on Friday night.

As Ocasio-Cortez first began speaking, she pulled up a PowerPoint presentation for the night’s event. She was then interrupted before even getting through her first slide discussing the Trump administration’s budget cuts, including alleged cuts to local healthcare systems.

“I am a healthcare worker and I want to know what you’re doing about the genocide in Gaza!” the protester started shouting at the congresswoman.

“Shame! Shame! Shame!” the audience began shouting at the disruptor. Audible “boos” could be heard as well.

The protester also said that she used to support AOC.

The protester said, “You’re a war criminal! War criminal! War criminal! Shame on you, I used to support you!”

New York Post reported:

“You’re a war criminal! War criminal! War criminal!” she yelled on the way out of the auditorium, adding, “Shame on you, I used to support you!”

After a semblance of order was restored, Ocasio-Cortez responded to the provocative outburst.

“I more than welcome people who disagree, or are super pissed off at me for any issue to come, but we have some ground rules here,” she said.
