Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was called out for prioritizing illegal migrants over her own constituents at a Green New Deal town hall in Queens on Thursday. The congresswoman was touting the purported benefits of the climate change legislation when two attendees, including a Republican challenger for her seat in the U.S. House, began heckling her. “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...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was met with hecklers during a town hall earlier this week over the state's migrant crisis. While Ocasio-Cortez was discussing policies such as the Green New Deal in Queens on Thursday, two hecklers interrupted her and said she cared more about illegal immigrants than her constituents, according to Fox News. One of the hecklers announced that he was going to run against her for her congressional seat. He also spoke out against the Green New Deal. "My name is Jonathan David Rinaldi, and I'm running for Congress against AOC. The Green New Deal is a scam,"...

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that Republicans want to control recreational sex and create a “patriarchal theocracy.” ... She added, “And going beyond that, they also want to control what they call recreational sex. Recreational sex! This is so clearly a patriarchal theocracy that has embodied itself in the DNA of an entire political party in the United States of America. And as women, and as any nonbinary and queer person in this country, they must be defeated. There should never be room for this kind of control by force over another person’s body...

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, wants the Biden administration to reverse course and "restore" humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war. On October 7, 2023, Hamas led the deadliest Palestinian militant attack on Israel in history. Israel subsequently launched its heaviest-ever airstrikes on Gaza, home to more than 2 million Palestinians. Israeli officials have said that about 1,200 people in Israel were killed and some 250 hostages were taken by Hamas, according to the Associated Press. Meanwhile, more than 26,000 Palestinians have been killed, officials from the health ministry in Gaza said. International organizations have...

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was hilariously heckled by a New Yorker in her district, who asked if she would condemn Hamas and quizzed her on her knowledge of the three branches of government, referencing a past gaffe. The heckler also called her “a loser” and sarcastically praised her performance. “Oh, AOC! Oh, hey… you’re gonna condemn Hamas and the terrorist attacks here or what?” “Do you know the three branches of government yet?” they yelled. “It’s executive, judicial, and legislative branches,” he said sarcastically. “You’re doing a great job,” he added with sarcasm.

A former top aide to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., funneled six figures in donor funds from his political action committee into his own pockets for reported consulting work, all while spending minimal amounts on the PAC's actual mission. Corbin Trent, who previously acted as a top aide to Ocasio-Cortez and helped propel her into office, formed the No Excuses PAC after his departure as her communications director in 2019 and exiting her campaign in 2020. Trent launched No Excuses in 2021 with the goal of nuking the Senate filibuster by targeting senators Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Kirsten Sinema, I-Ariz....

One of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) former top aides reportedly laid aside quite a bit of money in donor funds from his political action committee (PAC) for himself. After stepping down from his position as her communications director in 2019, Corbin Trent created the No Excuses PAC, Fox News reported Saturday.

The political action committee founded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-NY) former communications director is revamping its mission to urge President Joe Biden not to seek reelection in 2024. Corbin Trent, who served as AOC's communications director until March 2020, started the No Excuses PAC in 2021 to abolish the filibuster and pressure centrist Senate Democrats to adopt progressive policies. Now, the No Excuses PAC's website shows a large photo of Biden with the phrase "Thank you, Joe. Now it's time to go," and the organization is promoting ads encouraging the president to step aside and allow another Democrat to take...

New devastating accounts of sexual violence and torture enacted on defenceless Israeli women by Hamas terrorists amid their brutal October 7 attacks have emerged. Images shown to the New York Times by Israeli authorities showed a woman who had dozens of nails driven into her thighs and genitals in a savage example of mutilation, while other clips displayed the corpses of soldiers and civilians alike who had been either shot or stabbed in the groin. Another dark image dubbed 'the woman in the black dress' showed the corpse of an Israeli later identified as Gal Abdush.

Merry Christmas. I hope President Trump does a rally in the Bronx. He'll get much love from all NYC, not considered Trump Country.

Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been slammed for her Christmas post that called Israel a violent occupying force and likened Jesus to the Palestinians. Posting on Instagram on Christmas Eve, AOC shared a photo of a child lying on a pile of rubble surrounded by wooden nativity scene icons. Accompanying the photo, the New Yorker wrote: 'In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents.' She went on to compare Jesus being hunted by King Herod to the 'right-wing forces' currently 'violently occupying Bethlehem.' Her post...

Details violation of Mann Act, exploitation of hookers, influence peddling, proof that Brandon is "big guy". AOC and others get mad because she shows a pic of a hooker in a bikini. Say it's "porn". Details stonewalling by Justice, asks that Weiss be removed as Special Counsel.

Progressive firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashed out at the Biden administration for opposing a UN resolution calling for a cease-fire in Gaza. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called the White House reaction “shameful” in a post on X after the US vetoed a measure backed by almost all other Security Council members and dozens of other nations demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza. “The Biden Admin can no longer reconcile their professed concern for Palestinians and human rights while also single-handedly vetoing the UN’s call for ceasefire and sidestepping the entire US Congress to unconditionally back the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza,” she wrote.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that all women will have to face genital examinations if biological men are banned from competing in female sports. The 'squad' member spoke out at Tuesday night's House Oversight Subcommittee on Health which discussed the topic of gender participation in competitive sports. AOC, 34, said there were multiple proposals that would marginalize transgender Americans and claimed that questioning athletes' gender would open up women and girls to 'genital examinations'. 'We are talking about opening up all women and girls to genital examinations when they are underage, potentially just because someone can point to someone and say, I...

Working class residents are fleeing New York City because it’s too expensive, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Monday. The congresswoman made the claim during a discussion of the migrant crisis and Mayor Eric Adams’ controversial across-the-board proposed budget cuts that would shrink the police force and trim spending on schools, libraries and cultural arts programs. During her tele-town hall meeting, she wondered why the mayor and council weren’t looking to boost taxes on the wealthy — such as pricey pied-à-terre or luxury crash pads for the jet-setting ultra rich.

President Biden will skip the United Nations climate summit that kicks off Thursday in Dubai amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, a report said Sunday. Biden, who just weeks ago called climate change “the ultimate threat to humanity,” will not be among the leaders of nearly 200 countries who will attend the two-week event, known as COP28, a White House official told the New York Times. The official who asked to remain anonymous to discuss the president’s plans did not provide a reason for his absence, but senior aides told the publication that Biden has been preoccupied with...

World War II historian Andrew Roberts has a powerful essay making an important point: Hamas is worse than the Nazis because the Nazis still had a sufficient moral compass to be embarrassed by their genocidal crimes, while Hamas and its supporters are loud and proud. And when I say supporters, I don’t just mean the Gazastanians, a huge majority of whom support both Hamas and the massacre of Israelis. I mean their collaborators in the West, too, with the execrable Greta Thunberg as Exhibit A. Roberts writes that, while still lacking the wherewithal to kill six million Jews, Hamas and...

Comedic actor and outspoken Israel supporter Jon Lovitz went on a tear against Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and members of the Democratic "Squad" for their opposition to the Jewish State. Lovitz, who is Jewish, declared Sanders the "best example" of a "self-loathing Jew," calling him "disgusting," and mocked how the senator describes himself as a "Democratic Socialist" versus being a communist. "That's like asking me, ‘Are you Christian?’ 'No, no, I'm a Jew for Jesus.' Well, that's what it is," Lovitz told Fox News Digital in an interview. "You know the difference between a communist and a Democratic Socialist? A...

Six years ago, the David Horowitz Freedom Center invited the then little-known Candace Owens to its annual Restoration Weekend gathering of conservative movers and shakers.“This really is the conference where everything started for me,” Candace later said. “I started my career, my political career on YouTube making just funny, satirical videos, and I got an email from David Horowitz inviting me to this conference, and let me just tell you what a big deal it was for me. I had no connections whatsoever.”At this conference she met Charlie Kirk, and connected with his nationwide student organization Turning Point USA, and...

Members of Congress belonging to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have not condemned the violent anti-Israel protest that targeted the headquarters of their own party in Washington, D.C., this week. The offices of representatives Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; Greg Casar, D-Texas; and Cori Bush, D-Mo., did not respond to Fox News Digital's multiple requests for comment concerning the violence that erupted Wednesday when pro-Palestinian demonstrators calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war rioted outside the Democratic National Committee (DNC). None have released a public statement addressing the violence, other than Bush sharing a statement on X...
