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.
