Progressive Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke at a townhall in the Bronx, New York on Wednesday, and during a Q&A session was interrupted by anti-war protesters demanding answers as to why she is backing US involvement in the war in Ukraine.
“Congresswoman, none of this matters unless there’s a nuclear war which you voted to send and weapons to Ukraine,” one man shouted as Ocasio-Cortez attempted to field questions on drugs and immigration.
AOC, meanwhile, has been hawkish on the Ukrainian war, having voted to spend $40 billion more on the war, not including the $14 billion that President Biden already spent.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is indefensible. The U.S. is right to impose targeted sanctions on Putin & his oligarchs. We also must work with our allies to prepare for a refugee crisis on a massive scale. Finally, any military action must take place with Congressional approval. https://t.co/XpQqwEKlN0

“None of this matters [if] there’s a nuclear war in which you voted to send arms and weapons to Ukraine,” one protester said in the video. “Tulsi Gabbard left the Democratic party because they are hawks. You ran as an outsider.”
The protester noted that former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard, had left that party due to the party’s apparent unwillingness to try to stop a potentially impending nuclear war with Russia, the nation which invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
Gabbard, who left the Democrats earlier this week, said that the party was run by an “elitist cabal of warmongers who are driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoking anti-white racism, who actively worked to undermine our God-given freedoms that are enshrined in our Constitution, who are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police will protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans who believe in open borders, who weaponize the national security state to go after their political opponents. And above all, were dragging us ever closer to NUCLEAR WAR.”
AOC recommended that the White House gain congressional approval before taking part in a war effort, and has gone on to approve funding for a war effort, in the form of weapons and aid.
The US has been backing Ukraine with funds and weapons to help them fight its war.

I think this just about sums it up –
“Gabbard, who left the Democrats earlier this week, said that the party was run by an “elitist cabal of warmongers who are driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoking anti-white racism, who actively worked to undermine our God-given freedoms that are enshrined in our Constitution, who are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police will protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans who believe in open borders, who weaponize the national security state to go after their political opponents.

IF THE FIRST FOLKS< sent to ANY War, was those politicians ADVOCATING FOR war, you'd imo, see FEW FOLKS willing to say we need to get involved!
AOC aka “Sandy”, a total “airhead” and these liberal communists voted for her. That is all one needs to know, liberals voting for a communist. “Stupid is as stupid does”.
Rich kid “Sandy” Cortez is a total fabrication, just one of a number of Leftist puppets instructed to promote the Agenda of the One World cabal. She believes in nothing, and will promote what she is told–as long as she is paid.
Lay off her and reelect her. She’s got a swell job and career. She may become another Elizabeth Warren. Quien sabe?
AOCnoevilontheleft was speaking at Bronxdale HS, one of the schools at the former Christopher Columbus HS. Bronxdale has 455 students in all its grades, Columbus was an academic high school, not one of the more selective ones such as Bronx Science. Columbus used to graduate over 1,000 seniors a year. Things have changed.
The people that have continuously voted UNQUALIFIED AOC into office are no different than the people who have continuously voted UNQUALIFIED AND PURELY EVIL Plastic Pelosi into office AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! Anyone with even a modicum of intelligence continues to ask themselves WHY? Did they really think that they would get real change the longer those two AND MANY OTHERS LIKE THEM ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE were allowed to continue to SERVE THEMSELVES??? What is wrong with these people? Are they really that gaslighted? If we don’t take back our COUNTRY soon there will be no COUNTRY to save.
Maybe THOSE are the folks we need to start Deporting, enmass!
