Ocasio-Cortez's Bronx office vandalized with accusations she funds 'Gaza genocide'
Published in Political News
NEW YORK — The front of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Bronx campaign office was defaced with red paint and a sign accusing her of funding “genocide in Gaza,” police said Monday.
The vandalism was reported to police in a 12:43 a.m. Monday 911 call.
Red paint was splattered across the front of her office on Herschell Street near Westchester Avenue in Westchester Square. A sign made with red paint read, “AOC FUNDS GENOCIDE IN GAZA,” police said.
Police have made no arrests.
Last week, the Democratic congresswoman, who has been critical of U.S. support to Israel, voted against an amendment to cut aid to Israel’s defense.
On Saturday, she said on X that she voted against the amendment because it cuts off “Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue.”
