      XPost: alt.sports.football.pro.dallas-cowboys, alt.sports.footba       l.pro.phila-eagles, alt.sports.football.pro.ne-patriots       From: commies@cnn.com              Two military veterans stormed out of a meeting with Rep.       Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after the 29-year-old lawmaker bashed       U.S. foreign policy, according to a new report.              Ocasio-Cortez held a closed-door meeting with community leaders       in the Bronx part of her New York district on Wednesday night,       according to the New York Post. During the meeting, the freshman       Democrat criticized U.S. dealings with Saudi Arabia.              "I just couldn’t hear her BS anymore," said former Community       Board 11 chairman and Army veteran Anthony Vitaliano, 78. "I       just got up, got my umbrella in my hand, and walked right out."              Vitaliano also worked for the New York Police Department for       nearly 40 years and led the Bronx's homicide detectives.              "She knocks the country, she knocks the president. And that's       not what America is about," said board treasurer and Vietnam War       veteran Silvio Mazzella, 74.              Another attendee said he was “revolted” when Ocasio-Cortez       called President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin       Netanyahu "autocrats."              Ocasio-Cortez’s spokesman Corbin Trent contested the veterans’       accounts.              "The only person that left the meeting while it was underway was       someone who had to go pick up their children," Trent said.              "Everybody that was there knows I walked out," Vitaliano said,       calling Trent’s account "bullshit."              Ocasio-Cortez's office did not immediately respond to a request       for comment from the Washington Examiner.              https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/thats-not-what-america-       is-about-veterans-walk-out-on-meeting-with-ocasio-cortez              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
