You know things are bad for Democrats when even AOC is being heckled by protesters in deep blue New York City.
New York City is one of the most liberal cities in the world.
It’s so bad that Democrat actually outnumber Republicans by over 2 to 1 in NYC.
And even “New York Republicans” are pretty liberal by the rest of the country’s standards.
These are your Never-Trumper and Liz Cheney-fan types.
Well, apparently even NYC is fed up with Democrat policies.
AOC was mercilessly heckled by protesters at her latest townhall.
Take a look for yourself:
AOC gets heckled in a town hall meeting in her own Queens district.
"Secure The Border!"
LOL 😂😂😂
The event, which was intended to address local concerns and policy initiatives, took an unexpected turn as Ocasio-Cortez was met with a barrage of criticism. pic.twitter.com/WFC9tjRtRw

If folks are this angry about immigration, just wait until November gets closer.
Remember, the caravans coming to the southern border will get worse as the weather gets better.
The Washington Examiner has more details on the protesters:
New York‘s most prominent national Democrats dealt with protests of various kinds on Thursday evening, including being shouted down from speaking and having their offices blocked by angry demonstrators.
During a town hall she was hosting in Queens, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was yelled at within minutes of taking the stage by two men upset with her job in Congress, specifically accusing her of only caring “about illegal aliens.”
The two men, who were taken out of the venue by police, called her a “scrub” and accused her of not caring about constituents. One of the men also called her a “disgrace” before being drowned out by chants of “AOC” from the crowd.
Ocasio-Cortez brushed off the protesters after they were taken out of the venue, saying “clearly” her New York City district was “in favor of progressive immigration policy.” Her town hall took place the same day she announced she was running for reelection.

This sort of thing doesn’t happen in New York.
Most Republicans try to hide their political identities out of fear of retribution.
If voters are openly defying AOC in public, then you know things have gotten bad for Democrats.
@AOC speaking in front of a small crowd, gets heckled by a citizen who claims she only does what is good for and supports illegal immigrants.
To debunk his claim, she lists all the things she does for illegal immigrants.
You can't make this up.

Of course, now that Biden is considering closing the border (because it’s an election year), now AOC is pushing back against Biden!
Democrats claim we don’t have open borders.
Well… here are two questions for you:
- If we don’t have open borders, why is Joe Biden moving to close them?
- And now that Joe actually is acknowledging the border, why is AOC so dead set against it?
Komo News has more details on AOC’s critique of Biden’s border plans:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. criticized President Joe Biden Monday for his reported interest in using executive action to address immigration issues at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The idea appeared “outrageous” to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, who urged the president to reconsider.
Doing Trump impressions isn’t how we beat Trump,” the congresswoman posted on X. “Seeking asylum is a legal right of all people. In the face of authoritarian threat, we should not buckle on our principles –we should commit to them.”
Biden has considered utilizing the Immigration and Nationality Act’s Section 212(f), which allows presidents to suspend or restrict migrants’ entry into the U.S. should it detrimentally oppose U.S. interests, according to the Associated Press. Former President Donald Trump leveraged the law to bar travelers from some Middle East nations during his first month in office.
You’re right, AOC.
We don’t want “Trump impersonations.”
We want The Don himself!
