Chaos erupted during a town hall meeting held by Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) with residents in Queens, New York, when a pro-Palestinian protester interrupted her speech, accusing her of 'war crimes' and 'supporting genocide in Gaza.' The protester, who identified herself as a healthcare worker, shouted 'liar' and 'shame on you' at the congresswoman, while the crowd responded with shouts of 'shame' and boos. Cortez attempted to respond, but the shouting continued until the protester was removed from the hall. The congresswoman is one of the leading voices in the Democratic Party's progressive wing and a consistent critic of Israel.
