Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had a good comeuppance on Wednesday when she was shouted down at her town hall by former supporters at the Bronxdale High School in the Bronx, New York.
Leftists in the audience stood up and ripped AOC apart for her failures in office. They said that she ran as an outsider, but now she’s going along with voting to continue war mobilization in Ukraine and bringing us closer to nuclear war.
My friend @Noggatone and I confronted Congresswoman @AOC on her support for Nuclear War and Ukrainian Nazis. I call her out for being a coward in the face of the party that will push us all into Nuclear war right now. Will she stand up like @TulsiGabbard and fight for peace? pic.twitter.com/aQiQvQSWIN

“Tulsi Gabbard has shown guts, where you have shown cowardice,” one of the men shouted. “I believed in you and you became the very thing you sought to fight against.” “You are the establishment,” the young man said, cutting her with one of the worst things a leftist can throw at another leftist and saying she would lead us to a “nuclear war.” “This is the only thing that matters,” he said.
What was her response to these folks who wanted answers from her? “You are being rude.”
Talk about an inadequate response.
They’re right on target that she hasn’t been consistent with the positions that she ran on. She’s been far more focused on her celebrity and the left isn’t happy with that when they thought she was going to be a standard bearer for the progressives/socialists.
Notice how many empty seats the town hall had? It doesn’t look like she has a lot of supporters there, even apart from these guys who shouted her down.
People on the left continued to nail her with her own words about the purpose of protest being to make people feel uncomfortable.
AOC confronted by protester accusing her of 'voting to start nuclear war'
Last night AOC told an antiwar protester that he was 'being rude'. Rudeness is what she advocated in her early days. (see below) #UkraineRussianWar #RussiaUkraineWar #AOC https://t.co/nfOLxTB8gs pic.twitter.com/PuaXExg6Ad— Antiwar.com (@Antiwarcom) October 14, 2022
Just five years ago, AOC was trying to reach out to the anti-war community. Now she scoffs at us, calls us rude, and thinks we are in the way of her pursuit for more power. This is why we never can trust Democrats: They only exist to serve the interests of the elites and the MIC. https://t.co/8UH36D2F2y

It’s only “rude” when it nails her for her hypocrisy.
Some on the right weighed in on AOC’s hypocrisy as well. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said that she didn’t spend a lot of time with her constituents and that they just reminded her that she’s sold them out. “She ran as an outsider and has now just morphed into #SandyPelosi,” Boebert declared.
That prompted a meltdown from AOC claiming that she didn’t take a dime in corporate cash and holds a lot of town halls.
Hey Boebert, you seem to have us confused.
I:
✅ have attended & hosted 100s of community events
✅ hold regular town halls
✅ don’t take a dime in corporate cashYou:
🚮 are bankrolled by corporate PACs, Big Ag, & Oil
🚮 are too scared to hold regular town halls open to all pic.twitter.com/A0jrRbyFDO— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) October 13, 2022
You can hold town halls but if you refuse to answer the questions asked, what are those town halls worth? It’s clear her leftist supporters are not happy with her and she’s not helping the situation.
Some even questioned that claim about corporate cash.
Her top contributors include Microsoft, Amazon, and Google's parent company, she just straight up blatantly lied to all of her supporters and y'all just run with it pic.twitter.com/EAC9qIziG0

Although it should be noted that if you look at the information, the contributors appear to be individuals from those corporations.
Regardless, it looks like her meltdown only made her step in it even more with the folks on the left.
