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 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.

Her vote on Greene’s amendment prompted the Democratic Socialists of America to issue a statement accusing Ocasio-Cortez of backing Israel’s “eliminationist campaign against the Palestinian people”.

Ok? Nobody is talking about the bill not sure why you keep bringing up this strawman.

Why did AOC vote against Greene's amendement?

What was the amendment to?

not sure why you keep bringing up this strawman.

I know why you keep ignoring that she voted against the bill.

The amendment was to cut $500m in interceptors to Israel from the bill

I know why you keep ignoring that she voted against the bill.

Because AOC specifically said she wants to keep the interceptors on the bill after she voted against the amendment.
