At a heated town hall meeting, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was seen on camera dancing to the chants of anti-government demonstrators, “AOC has gotta go.”
At a Queens town hall on Tuesday night, protesters challenged the congressman serving her second term.
The jovial congresswoman drank water from a bottle and started moving her shoulders in time with the chanting, brushing aside the harsh comments.
Throughout, she remained seated on a platform and kept grinning, even when one irate lady seemed ready to explode with wrath and screamed herself to exhaustion from the audience.
Despite AOC’s well-known progressive tendencies, the demonstrators opposing her candidacy contend that she has drifted too far from her initial anti-elitist stance and changed into one of the elected officials she was chosen to replace.
AOC has a history of confronting opponents, but this is the first time she has done it via dancing.
She said in a recent interview with GQ that the nation’s animosity against “women of color” was the cause of her concern that she would not make it to September.
“People enquire about the future,” I am told. She told the glitzy magazine, “Realistically, I can’t even tell you whether I’ll be living in September.
However, according to the criticisms of some of her people, she may be having problems upholding the claim that she is “the political voice of a generation—and a cultural figure whose influence transcends politics.”
The progressive lawmaker has recently endured jeers for her activities in Washington, DC during a second town hall forum.
She received jeers in a Bronx town hall last week. Her decision to provide further military assistance to Ukraine drew criticism from her erstwhile backers.
He said, “You voted to organize and fund Ukrainian Nazis.”
“You have taken no action. He said, “Where you’ve shown fear, Tulsi Gabbard has shown guts,’ alluding to the former Democratic presidential candidate’s announcement last week that she was leaving the party.
As the congresswoman requested the guys to wait their time since there seemed to be a line of people waiting to ask AOC questions, the disruption was received with a mixture of shouting and clapping.
The outspoken politician has received criticism for her actions from members of her own party on several occasions during her relatively short stint in Congress, and this criticism is becoming more frequent.
She has reportedly established a name for herself in the world of high fashion and has been on the covers of magazines like Vanity Fair and GQ as well.
She walked the Met Gala red carpet in a couture gown in September, with the words “tax the wealthy” written in red letters on the back. She allegedly received complimentary dinner tickets from the museum, valued at around $10,000, to the opulent event.
Her official website started selling hoodies with the same slogan as her daring, Vogue-approved ensemble for roughly $60 after she debuted it on the red carpet.
