Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was heckled by a protester who demanded answers as to what the Congresswoman was doing about what she said was a “genocide” in Gaza.

The “genocide” she was speaking of is the nation of Israel defending itself after its citizens were slaughtered and taken hostage by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023.

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

“Shame! Shame! Shame!” the audience chanted at the protester as the crowd booed.

The Democrat congresswoman attempted to talk to the woman who just kept shouting.

“Shame on you, you’re a liar. You’re a liar!” she shouted as more members of the audience booed her.

“Shame on you, I used to support you,” she shouted as she was led out of the building by event staff. “You’re a war criminal! War criminal! War Criminal!”

The congresswoman responded to the protester by addressing the crowd after the woman had left the building.

“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 to the audience. “Please wait for the Q&A, because we don’t want to deprive all of our neighbors of the ability to have information and hearing them respond to it… We need to be able to have this conversation.”

Rumors have been rampant that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has her eyes on either going after Senate Minority Leader and New York Sen. Charles Schumer in the next Democrat primary election, or campaigning for president in 2028 as she has brought in an astounding $9.6 million in the past three months.

“I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of people supporting us with your time, resources, & energy,” she said in a post on X.

“Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities,” she said.
