Right-wingers lose their minds after AOC responded to anti-LGBTQ protesters by dancing

Video from a recent town hall event held by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has right-wingers losing their minds.

The meeting, which took place on October 19, was disrupted by protesters reportedly holding signs touting conspiracy theories. When the protesters started beating drums and chanting “AOC has got to go,” the Democratic congresswoman began dancing to the beat from her perch on the stage at the Boys & Girls Club where the event was held in Astoria, Queens.

The protesters reportedly heckled and chanted for about 20 minutes, preventing Ocasio-Cortez and other constituents from speaking. According to The Independent, the demonstrators were there to protest Ocasio-Cortez’s support for the LGBTQ community. One protester reportedly suggested that non-heterosexuals be banned from owning a house.

But NY-14 will ALWAYS have a champion for LGBTQ+ people on my watch. Period.”
