AOC’s Bronx HQ vandalized with red paint after Israel vote

Progressive New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Bronx headquarters was vandalized by anti-Israeli activists after she voted against cutting US funding for Israel.

The office in Westchester Square in the East Bronx was splattered in red paint on Sunday, and adorned with a sign reading “AOC funds genocide in Gaza” days after congresswoman ditched her fellow “Squad” colleagues and voted against a proposed amendment to slash millions in aid for Israel’s missile defense.

A photograph of Ocasio-Cortez’s face in the window was completely covered by the paint, photos show.

“F–K AOC,” a group known as the Boogie Down Liberation Front told reporter Ashoka Jegroo while taking responsibility for the vandalism.

“The Bronx is sick and tired of people like AOC and Ritchie Torres using us as a stepping stone for their own political careers,” the group said in a statement.

“The Bronx stands with the people of Palestine and we denounce the hypocrisy of AOC who voted to fund Israel’s ongoing genocide and starvation campaign in Gaza. F–K AOC!”

The lefty congresswoman has been taking heat from her progressive supporters after she voted against an amendment for the Department of Defense Appropriations Act proposed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday that sought to cut $500 million from Israel’s air defense systems.

The amendment, which was emphatically spiked 6 to 422, was supported by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Ocasio-Cortez’s progressive “Squad” pals, including Reps. Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.).

The House of Representatives ultimately passed the bill early Friday 221 to 209, allocating some $832 billion in defense funding for fiscal year 2026, including a boost in pay for troops as well as increased research and development spending.

“Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it,” the congresswoman posted on X amid the backlash.

“What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue,” she continued.

“I remain focused on cutting the flow of US munitions that are being used to perpetuate the genocide in Gaza.”
