AOC Heckled By Furious Town Hall Attendees: ‘All You Care About Is Illegal Migrants’

Angry attendees heckled Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) Thursday night while she attempted to tout the so-called “benefits” of the Green New Deal.

However, the town hall took a turn for the worse when attendees began accusing her of caring more about illegal migrants than U.S. law-abiding citizens. 

“My name is Jonathan David Rinaldi, and I'm running for Congress against AOC; the Green New Deal is a scam," one of the hecklers, Jonathan David Rinaldi, said. “They’re giving the NYCHA apartments away; they’re giving illegal aliens $10,000 a day… I want you to debate me, AOC, debate me." 

AOC refrained from saying anything as a second heckler began shouting at her. 

“Secure the border now," the man said. “You haven’t said one word about violent Venezuelan migrants, illegals. You don’t care; all you care about is illegal aliens and their votes. You don’t care about your constituents. That’s all you care about; you’re a disgrace."

Rinaldi told Fox News Digital that lawmakers are purposely allowing illegal aliens to reside in New York City’s public housing communities at the expense of citizens.  

“Every single one of us is being sold out by people that have brought illegals here to vote,” Rinaldi snapped at the Democrat. “You only represent the illegal aliens."

“Well, clearly I don't because I'm an elected member of Congress, so keep it pushing, bro," AOC shouted back. 

Following the tense exchange, the congresswoman reiterated her stance on illegal immigration, saying that she welcomes all neighbors. 

“Clearly, this community -- Astoria, Jackson Heights, also across the Bronx – clearly supports progressive immigration policies that welcome all of our neighbors,” AOC said. “We clearly support a path to citizenship, we clearly support ending draconian immigration policies, and that is why you all… support my representation of our community in Congress because we have had enough."
