AOC’s office in the Bronx vandalized by her own constituents who left her a vulgar note

The New York office of U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was vandalized by her own constituents after she voted against an anti-Israel amendment.

The New York Democrat is taking heat from progressives for her vote against an amendment that would have blocked $500 million in U.S. funding for Israel’s missile defense system. Vandals left an anti-Israel slogan on her campaign office in the Bronx.

“Police said they responded to a 911 call shortly before 12:45 a.m. Monday at her campaign office located on Herschell Street in the Bronx,” CBS News reported.

“When officers arrived, they found the front of the building splashed with red paint, along with a sign accusing the congresswoman of funding genocide in Gaza,” the report contiued. “Video from the scene appears to show the paint on a metal security gate, as well as on the doorway and the sidewalk below. Crime scene tape can also be seen blocking off the area.”

An investigation has been underway, but no arrests have yet been made.

Overnight, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Bronx office was vandalized. A fringe group calling itself the Boogie Down Liberation Front claimed responsibility and left behind this note:

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) ripped into Ocasio-Cortez over the weekend.

“An arms embargo means keeping all arms out of the hands of a genocidal military, no exceptions. This is why we oppose Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’[s] vote against an amendment that would have blocked $500 million in funding for the Israeli military’s Iron Dome program,” the DSA said in a statement over the weekend.

Yesterday, Congress once again increased spending on war instead of the services and protections that working people desperately need.

The group noted that AOC voted against the defense funding bill, thus “voting against funding for the imperialist military-industrial complex and the Israeli genocide.” However, they contended that, “We were further deeply disappointed by her clarifying statement on her position on the Iron Dome.”

“Along with other US-funded interceptor systems, the Iron Dome has emboldened Israel to invade or bomb no less than five different countries in the past two years,” the statement said. “The fact that Representative Ocasio-Cortez acknowledges that Israel is carrying out this genocide makes her support for military aid all the more disappointing and incongruous. We urge the representative to continue voting against the Iron Dome, whether it is part of a larger defense spending bill or as a stand-alone bill.”
