A Queens town hall hosted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez descended into chaos, with some of her constituents calling the congresswoman a “piece of s–it.’

“American citizens before migrants,” a man holding small American flags yelled as he approached the congresswoman, according to footage recorded by Freedom News TV.

“Where are you on the migrant issue? You’re a piece of s–t,” he continued shouting during the Friday forum.

The 33-year-old congresswoman laughed off the incident, responding, “OK,” as the man was escorted out. But it appeared to be just the first of many interruptions to come. 


AOC has long been a champion of illegal migrants, even before they began being bused to New York City in the thousands.

She repeatedly accused the U.S. government under the Trump administration of housing migrants in concentration camps at the border.

More recently she and other Democrats have called on the Biden administration to expedite work authorization for new arrivals flooding the Empire State to help ease the burden on local infrastructure. 

The protesters took issue with Ocasio-Cortez’s support for US funding for Ukraine in its fight against invading Russian forces, her positions on the border crisis and her support for raising the debt ceiling.

“Stop funding this war, there’s a lot of communities that need help and need that money,” another woman shouted as she was ushered out of the auditorium in Corona.

“America First. Vetted legal migrants only,” “Stop funding Ukraine,” “AOC: An Obvious Criminal,” and “AOC: Stop pushing drag queen story hour,” were among the signs several of her constituents brought to the town hall and held up throughout the event. 

AOC has been a strong supporter of Ukraine since the Russian invasion began often putting her at odds with more pro-Russia voices on the far left.

She voted in favor of sending $40 billion in military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine last year.

At one point, the member of the far-left “Squad” made it known that she believes the Biden administration should abolish the debt limit, which drew both boos and cheers from the crowd.

“$100 billion for Ukraine that you voted for!” an irate man shouted at Ocasio-Cortez after the debt ceiling remark.

“It is not your turn! How about you wait your turn,” an enraged individual shouted at the man upset about Ukraine funding. 

“Freedom of speech,” someone else shouted back. 

AOC has been sharply critical of Republican efforts to use the debt limit and a threat of default as a way to force through federal spending cuts.

“The stakes of a default cannot be understated,” Ocasio-Cortez said on CNN earlier this week. “The chaos that would ensue and the impact on people’s everyday lives would likely be immediate and it is one of the reasons why we need to take default off the table.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s town halls are known to draw somewhat hostile crowds, with hecklers and frequent interruptions.

Last year, protesters with hand drums, chanting, “AOC has got to go,” crashed one of her town halls and kept her from addressing her constituents for several minutes. 

The congresswoman danced along to the beat as the hecklers chanted for her to be voted out of office.
