AOC's office vandalized after recent House vote involving US aid to Israel
A Bronx office of the US House member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was vandalized early on Monday, according to New York City police, who say they are investigating.
The vandalism occurred as the progressive Democratic congresswoman grapples with threats on [her] life, as her campaign manager put it, after a recent US House of Representatives vote involving American aid to Israel.
Officers called out to Ocasio-Cortezs campaign office in Westchester Square at about 12.45am found its front covered in red paint, police said. Images circulating online and on local news media outlets showed someone had left a sign which alleged that Ocasio-Cortez funds genocide in Gaza, though she has repeatedly criticized the Israeli militarys strikes there.
The vandalism occurred after Ocasio-Cortez on Friday voted against a defense spending bill amendment authored by the Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia that would have eliminated funding for the system protecting Israel from missiles. Ocasio-Cortez voted no on the defense spending bill itself, which passed the House and included more than $600m in aid for Israel, as she alluded to on an X post hours after the offices vandalism.
Her vote on Greenes amendment prompted the Democratic Socialists of America to issue a statement accusing Ocasio-Cortez of backing Israels eliminationist campaign against the Palestinian people.
