Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her partner Riley Roberts were followed and shouted at by a group of pro-Palestine protestors at a movie theater in Brooklyn, New York, on Friday night. The pair were filmed walking away from a handful of people who demanded that Ocasio-Cortez call the crisis in Gaza a genocide.

Ocasio-Cortez kept her cool throughout most of the minute and a half, but at the end turned on the group and said they would edit the content out of context before she added, Its fed up. And youre not helping these people. And youre not helping them.

The two were filmed attempting to get away from the group at the beginning of the video. Ocasio-Cortez is seen shaking her head but staying silent as one person said, You refuse to call it a genocide. She then turned to face the man and said, I need you to understand this is not okay.

Its not okay that theres a genocide, youre not actively against it, the man replied. Youre lying! Ocasio-Cortez called as she and Riley went down an escalator.

Im lying? the man asked. You went on TV and avoided talking about it. The group then followed Ocasio-Cortez down the escalator.

A woman then said, If you cant call it a genocide then how before Ocasio-Cortez rounded on her. The pair quietly spoke back and forth before the woman said loudly, Were not lying you havent been calling it a genocide. Dont tell me Im lying.

As the group moved down a second escalator, the woman yelled, Over 30,000 people are dead, AOC, you cant just say it for once? Just say the word, thats it, thats all we want you to say.

The group then continued outside the theater, where Roberts pleaded, Stop. Okay? Stop. The woman replied, Were not going anywhere. Were just talking to an elected public official, thats all were doing, thats it.

Ocasio-Cortez gestured broadly at the camera and said, Youre going to cut this and youre going to clip this so that its completely out of context. I already said that it was. And yall are just going to pretend that it wasnt, over and over again. Its fed up. And youre not helping these people. And youre not helping them.

After the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza in January, Ocasio-Cortez did not expressly call the catastrophe in Gaza a genocide but said that no one should toss someone out of our public discourse for using the term.

The fact that [the ICJ] said theres a responsibility to prevent it, the fact that this word is even in play, the fact that this word is even in our discourse, I think demonstrates the mass inhumanity that Gazans are facing, she added.

Whether you are an individual that believes this is a genocidewhich by the way, in our polling we are seeing large amounts of Americans concerned specifically with that word. So I dont think that it is something to completely toss someone out of our public discourse for using.

She can't just go out there shouting "genocide" given her position and it's unrealistic to say that because she doesn't use the language you want her to that she supports genocide. Such a weird twisted logic when everyone knows damn well she doesn't support that.

It is a genocide, we all know this but people at her level can't just say that.

It doesn't make sense to harass AOC like this since she's clearly pro-Palestinian. However, both right-wingers and a number of pro-Palestinian supporters think otherwise for different reasons.

Pro-Palestine as a movement is a good thing. That doesnt mean every protestor or protest is fully immune to criticism, like with what happened here.

And unfortunately, a portion of pro-Palestinian supporters think it's justified to harass her even though she's on their side.

Ricemills and CountCorvinus have this weird idea that I'm a Zionist who's looking to make all pro-Palestinian supporters bad. They don't seem to get that I support progressives like AOC who's as pro-Palestinian as they come. My main concern here is seeing protesters mess up by attacking a politician who's actually fighting for them.

As opposed to do nothing and let trump win

And then do nothing when they purge trans people because you're not going to be one of their targets

Stunning and brave. I wish I had the courage that you had.

Except that it's AOC they shouldn't even be confronting to begin with. Alienating officials who do care about Gaza helps no one.

You're trying to make all protestors looks bad.
You even picked twitter posts with single digit of like and retweet to make it looks like a big issue n

Unfortunately, it seems that these protesters find it easier to bully Democrats than Republicans because the latter is far more likely to retaliate.
