      XPost: alt.society.liberalism, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, talk.politics.guns       XPost: alt.politics.republicans       From: spencer_@verio.com              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."              AOC'S TWEETS ATTACKING CNN 'PUMPED UP' TRUMP DURING TOWN HALL: REPORT              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.              READ ON THE FOX NEWS APP              "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."              David       1 hour ago              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.              https://news.yahoo.com/aoc-heckled-booed-nyc-town-021347664.html              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
