A Bronx office of the US House member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was vandalized early on Monday, according to New York City police, who say they are investigating.
The vandalism occurred after Ocasio-Cortez on Friday voted against a defense spending bill amendment authored by the Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia that would have eliminated funding for the system protecting Israel from missiles.
Her vote on Greene’s amendment prompted the Democratic Socialists of America to issue a statement accusing Ocasio-Cortez of backing Israel’s “eliminationist campaign against the Palestinian people”.
So let me get this straight…
People are mad at AOC for voting against an amendment to a bill that was never going to pass, but ultimately voted no on the overall bill that gives Isreal more weapons?
And that’s pro genocide?
Would you support it if AOC wanted to send Interceptor missiles to Russia because the rest of the house was doing it?
I think you misunderstand, she voted NO to sending weapons. The article even says as much.
It doesn’t. Read the summary I posted.
How many times are you going to repeat the same strawman? This is about the amendment.
Did she or did she not vote no on the bill? Did she vote to send weapons to Isreal or not?
No. Yes.
Did she or did she not vote no on the amendement? Did she vote to send weapons to Isreal or not?
I posted the evidence that your answer is objectively untrue. Even the Democratic Socialists of America said as much if you need more evidence.
If we can’t establish a baseline of truth, than this conversation is meaningless. Good day.
As for anyone else scrolling by, AOC DID NOT VOTE TO SEND WEAPONS TO ISREAL. PERIOD. The facts are out there. Anything else is merely a bullshit attempt to wedge apart the left, and it seems to be working quite well by the looks of it. Don’t fall this bullshit.
She voted no on a bill that impacts the defensive capabilities of Israel, while doing nothing to help Gaza. That bill would have resulted in a net increase of civilian deaths.
Edit: reduction in iron dome stuff, the missile interceptors
