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”.

Alright, if that's the case then you should hold everyone in the house and senate to the same standards because they are all doing this. You say it's not based on vibes yet I bet you can't even name half the people in the house that voted for it without looking it up. Why does she have higher standards than the rest of them?

I'm just saying you need to pick your battles. Whether you like it or not, AOC is still one of the best chances to end this when you look at the entirety of the US government. Why make an enemy at this stage?

    Maybe she is the focus because her and her fanbase insist she is so great, like you are doing here, yet she constantly proves the opposite.

    You don't have to constantly warn that the blatant Zionist is a Zionist, they tell you themselves.
