Sandy Cortez has been coming face-to-face with angry voters in her district and we’re here for it.
She doesn’t seem to like it very much… but isn’t that the point of protests?
The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable.
Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows.
To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable… that’s the point.

It’s important to hold elected officials accountable and remind them why you’ve sent them to Washington to represent you.
At a recent event, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), the former bartender who vowed to take a stand in Washington for the “little guy” after campaigning as a grassroots progressive, faced a number of protesters criticizing her for selling out to the Military-Industrial Complex.
On the rare occasions that @AOC actually spends time with her constituents, she is reminded that she has sold them out at every turn.

More on “Sandy Pelosi” selling out her constituents in favor of continued war in Ukraine here:
AOC held a Listening Forum Event at the Boys & Girls Club in Astoria, Queens and it went just as well as the one held last week.
It’s unclear what exactly set off the protesters, but it appears that she was talking about LGBTQ+ community housing when some constituents got angry and said that it was discrimination against straight people that are struggling to get by.
The protesters brought up a number of issues that they feel that she has failed to address — rising crime in NYC, government COVID mandates, and her embrace of radical gender theory among other things.
At one point, the protesters chanted “AOC has got to go” with a bongo drum, and she started dancing to it.

A clearly frustrated AOC slipped into a Puerto Rican accent to try to quell the protesters.

She sounds like she’s auditioning for a role in the already-released “West Side Story” remake.
Maybe she was just “code-switching” like that time she slipped into a “blackcent” when speaking to the National Action Network, a civil rights organization founded by Al Sharpton in 1991.

Is there a more inauthentic member of Congress that committed to her “grassroots” constituents?
She also lectured the protesters… who yelled right back at her.

. @AOC wrecked again – her own constituents keep putting her on blast

Here’s a longer video of the chaos.
(LANGUAGE WARNING)
While she did have a lot of supporters, the protesters were unflinching.
Sandy Cortez represents Queens and she’s become a Swamp Creature… did she expect that her constituents would take that in stride?
They’re taking that internet meme, “become ungovernable” to heart, and Ms. “Knock down the House” isn’t liking it very much.
Oh, well.
These are the tactics of her side of the political aisle and she is now getting to see what it’s like being on the receiving end of them. It’s not so much fun, is it?
This sort of thing will continue until both sides can agree to have reasonable discussions and debates. Until then, it’s pointless for one side to unilaterally disarm.
Good luck at the next town hall, AOC! It looks like you’ll need it!
Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.
Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.
This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
