She didn’t expect this…
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez angered veterans so much at a recent event that they walked out after listening to her bash the nation.
The incident happened during a private meeting of community leaders in the Bronx where the representative railed against United States foreign policy, The New York Post reported.
“She knocks the country, she knocks the president. And that’s not what America is about,” Vietnam veteran Silvio Mazzella said.
Another veteran, Anthony Vitaliano, who also worked for the New York Police Department for more than three decades, could not stand it either.
“I just couldn’t hear her BS anymore,” he said in a statement to The Post. “I just got up, got my umbrella in my hand and walked right out.”
AOC held the closed-door meeting with about a dozen members of the board on Wednesday night, marking a rare visit to the Bronx part of her district.
One Middle Eastern board member raised the issue of the conflict in Yemen.
The progressive firebrand slammed the US policy of providing bombs to Saudi Arabia, which has supported Yemen’s government in a brutal civil war, according to attendees. Some blamed her for not including the roles of other nations in explaining the volatile region’s violence.
“Talking about America, that really turned me off completely,” Mazzella, who fought in Vietnam from 1966 – 1968, said.
Earlier, board members complained about problems with the US Postal Service, which regularly misses mail deliveries, and a local Amtrak property that is a magnet for graffiti vandals. CB 11 is a working-class neighborhood on the eastern side of the Bronx covering Allerton, Morris Park, Pelham Gardens and Van Nest. In addition to parts of the Bronx, Ocasio-Cortez’s district includes north-central Queens.
“Did she care about the issues? She wrote them down,” said Vitaliano, 78. “The jury will be out on the local issues.”
She “danced around the whole” question of Columbus Day, for which the neighborhood holds a parade every year, said Vitaliano, who supports creating a day for indigenous people but wants to preserve the treasured Italian-American tradition.

I do hope the people in her district are paying attention to this little twit, election day will be coming around again before you know it. Enjoy your 15 minutes AOC, the clock is ticking.
I think th tide is turning. Not just against this dimwit DemWit, but against the entire DemWit party. Sure, there will be those holdouts, but people are tired of the BS and divisiveness of the party of slavery and it’s KKK enforcers. They are sick of the Antifa, and the BLM people dissing Blacks who don’t support them. We look at how much time has been wasted investigating a hoax which only served to line the pockets of the ringleaders.
The only one getting anything done, against great odds, is Trump. He stands up for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the world’s need for a bastion of freedom illuminating the darkness and standing against those who would enslave the world. He may not be perfect, but he is what we need.
she should be fired no benefits of any kind..she is CRAZY…or wants us to think she is crazy while she destroys America. FIRE HER she is an enemy to America.
AOC IS A PIECE OF S–T
Some old veterans know how to take an undesired person and tar-and-feather that person and run them out of town.😟
Just shows how IGNORANT NEW YORK CITY and Suburbs are.
this 29 y o adolescent doesn’t have the intelligence of an amoeba……it’s scary to realizee that she, and a couple of other freshmen muzzes…..can make decisions for people of , at least, normal intelligence
Well, she just KEEPS CONFIRMING her own IGNORANCE/STUPIDITY….Young and DUMB, NO experience/KNOWLEDGE about ANYTHING, what else is new…????
She is darn lucky that’s all they did, but, of course, most of them are loyal Americans, not commies.
This 29 year old Congresswoman is basically just stupid and way over her head.
Still acts like a narcissistic college undergrad. Totally clueless bimbo.
WHAT HAS SHE DONE For Her District ( ? ) Besides Trying to Break the U.S.A.s Piggy Bank AND Make US Go Bankrupt ??? oh wait oh yea…And Bitch n Moan n Complain About Pres Trump !!! I Mean Really…WHAT HAS SHE DONE >>>
The only way a democrat voter can overcome stupid is to vote republican!
1. Donald Trump kept the Harlem Hoops project alive after learning the man who ran the program was killed during September 11th terrorist attack! The program gives urban youths a safe place to play basketball while instilling a positive influence in their lives.
2. When no commercial carrier was willing to fly a critically ill little boy from California to New York for medical treatment, Trump offered up his private jet to the family. The little boy’s medical care needs during the flight and space for necessary equipment were completely accommodated on Trump’s airplane.
3. When Ed McMahon was losing his home, Donald Trump stepped in to save the property from going into foreclosure. Trump then allowed McMahon to go on living in his home.
4. Donald Trump saved an ice skating rink in Central Park after the city planners in charge went grossly over budget and were not going to be able to open the rink for the Christmas season. Trump finished the project on his own dime and then operated the rink at his own expense for a year and donated all of the profits to charity.
5.Trump partnered up with Mel Farr and offered the opportunity for urban Detroit artists to appear at Carnegie Hall. The young artists would never have had such an opportunity to showcase their work without Trump serving as their benefactor.
6. After learning about a Buffalo bus driver stopping to help a woman attempting to jump off a bridge and kill herself, he tracked down the hero who talked the woman down. Trump gave the man a $10,000 check as a show of gratitude for the act of human kindness he felt should serve as an example to us all.
7. A married couple noticed a limo on the side of the road that had a flat tire. The husband pulled the car over and fixed the tire. The limo belonged to Trump, who thanked the man and asked him how he could repay him for his kind gift. The man suggested sending his wife a bouquet of flowers. Trump agreed, when the flowers arrived several weeks later, there was a note included that said, We’ve paid off your mortgage.
8. Donald Trump paid to ensure that a Mexican American boy would graduate from college when he saw a news story about his terminally ill mother.
9. Donald Trump broke the glass ceiling for women in the construction business. In 1980, he hired 33-year-old Barbara Res to head up a NYC skyscraper project as the site manager of the building.
10. He also once sent his personal airplane to rescue 30 stranded Marines!
In addition to all of these good deeds performed by Donald, now President Trump’s crowning achievement as a civilian in my opinion was sending Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi money to get back on his feet after he was released from a Mexican jail plus paying all of his legal fees!
President Trump did more for America and the American people in one year than the previous four presidents did in 28 years!
Donald Trump is my AMAZING PRESIDENT and like he promised, president for all AMERICANS! President Trump is the best president ever and the most brilliant leader in the history of the world!
Keep America Great! Greater than ever before! AMERICA and AMERICANS FIRST!
Actions speak louder than words and President Trump’s actions speaks volumes for America and the American people!
WE ARE WINNING!

President Trump knows exactly what he is doing and if the people in congress both republican and democrat would support him what he would accomplish would be beyond amazing, sometimes you have to give a little to gain a lot!
Millions of new jobs, thousands of new manufacturing jobs, millions lifted off of welfare/food stamps lowest minority unemployment in history, lowest female unemployment in 60 years, a robust stock market, 4.2% GDP growth, a booming economy and the largest tax cut in the history of America, all because of our amazing President’s policies! Negotiating better trade deals for America and the American people and negotiating with other world leaders in an effort to bring world peace! We are winning and winning and winning because of President Trump! Trump/Pence 2020!
I still can’t understand how these

SURE IT IS SOMEWHERE WHERE
THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY FOR
THEM TO ESCAPE AND DO NOT

WAY TO GROW THEIR OWN FOOD
