“Every single one of us is being sold out by people that have brought illegals here to vote!” heckler shouts as he’s escorted away.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) Green New Deal town hall was disrupted on Thursday by hecklers outraged over her prioritization of illegal aliens over her own constituents.
The far-left “Squad” member was touting her climate change legislation when two attendees, including a Republican challenger for her seat in the U.S. House, began to heckle her over the illegal alien crisis.
“My name is Jonathan David Rinaldi and I’m running for Congress against AOC. The Green New Deal is a scam,” one man shouted. “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.”

“All you care about is illegals and their votes”

NYCHA refers to the New York City Housing Authority, which controls the city’s public housing projects.
Another man soon stood up and started shouting, “Secure the border now!”
“You haven’t said one word about violent Venezuelan migrants, illegals,” the second man continued as AOC supporters attempted to drown the hecklers out with an “AOC” chant.
“You don’t care, all you care about is illegal aliens and their votes. You don’t care about your constituents,” the second man went on. “That’s all you care about. You’re a disgrace.”
AOC flashed a smile as security approached Rinaldi.
“Every single one of us is being sold out by people that have brought illegals here to vote,” he shouted as he was being escorted away.
“You only represent the illegal aliens,” Rinaldi told AOC directly.
“Well, clearly I don’t, because I’m an elected member of Congress, so keep it pushing, bro,” Ocasio-Cortez snapped.
Once the hecklers had been escorted from the venue, AOC claimed her base “clearly supports progressive immigration policies that welcomes all of our neighbors.”
Progressive immigration policies…like open borders, unlimited welfare, and even citizenship for illegal aliens? How does this benefit her U.S. constituents in any way?
Only days after the town hall incident, AOC dismissed the illegal alien crisis as a conspiracy theory, arguing on MSNBC that the U.S. economy is at risk unless corporations can be provided a surplus of cheap labor.
It will always be fascinating to me how the “left” in the US defends our open border because the sad big corporations need an endless supply of cheap labor. https://t.co/m47iqcywHW
