   U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was shouted down and faced a partially   
   hostile crowd during a Friday town hall where some participants were upset   
   about the Democratic socialist legislator's positions on immigration   
   Ukraine funding and the debt limit.   
      
   Speaking to constituents in Corona, Queens, The "Squad" member was   
   disrupted several times as some heckled and booed her, and in turn, her   
   supporters shouted down those protesters.   
      
   "American citizens before migrants," one man shouted as he walked toward   
   Ocasio-Cortez holding small American flags. "Where are you on the migrant   
   issue? You're a piece of s--t."

   He was led away by security personnel.   
      
   The man also repeated a debunked claim that military veterans were being   
   kicked out of New York City hotels to make room for migrants. One man who   
   said he was an Iraq War veteran tried to calm the crowd down in support of   
   the congresswoman.

   "Immigrants have nothing to do with vets," the man said, holding a   
   microphone after Ocasio-Cortez allowed him to speak. "We all came through   
   Ellis Island. Things are different. Things change over time."   
      
   During a discussion about the June 5 debt default deadline, Ocasio-Cortez   
   stated she believes the Biden administration should eliminate the debt   
   limit. She has claimed that a failure to raise the limit would cause   
   massive chaos in the U.S. economy.   
      
   "I don't like that Republicans passed a $1.7 trillion tax cut on the   
   wealthiest people in this country," she said at one point.   
      
   Protesters noted that the U.S. has provided billions of dollars in   
   military aid to Ukraine. The Biden administration has provided Ukraine   
   with nearly $40 billion in military aid since Russia invaded in late   
   February 2022.   
      
   "We are at war with Russia," one woman said. "We're on the verge of   
   nuclear war. Are you going to stop this war?"   
      
   "Stop funding this war," one woman is heard saying while being escorted   
   away. "There's a lot of communities that need help and need that money.   
   I'm from that community."

   The Biden administration has provided Ukraine with nearly $40 billion in   
   military aid since Russia invaded in late February 2022.   
      
   Because we didn't have this issue the last administration.We didn't have   
   10,000 illegal border jumpers a day, either. Come to think of it we didn't   
   have inflation either. What a disaster.   
      
   And the media is complicit. Here is a more accurate tally.   
      
   Since the war began, the Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have   
   directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine, which includes   
   humanitarian, financial, and military support, according to the Kiel   
   Institute for the World Economy, a German research institute.
