Protesters confronted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her fiancé, Riley Roberts, during a visit to a Brooklyn movie theater on Monday. The camera-wielding demonstrators demanded Ocasio-Cortez label Israel’s military action against Hamas militants in Gaza a “genocide.”
”Just say the word,” they pressed, as AOC herself blasted the move as “fucked up.”
