try to put his arm around her, but she shrugs it off and appears to snap at him, shouting something indiscernible. That came as the person filming said, “People in Gaza don’t get a moment of peace, and neither do people like you.”

Apparently, the combined incident came when the person filming approached AOC, known for her generally far-left, progressive views, to accost her for not being supportive enough of Palestine. AOC has struck a somewhat more moderate tone on the Israel-Hamas conflict than other members of the “Squad,” such as Rep. Rashida Tlaib. It appears, based on the buildings in the videos, that the snapping at the fiance video happened second.

And watch the incident with her fiance here:

The incident was somewhat odd, as AOC has been largely on the side of the Palestinians. For example, in late March of 2024, she said, in a speech on the House floor, “As we speak, in this moment, 1.1 million innocents in Gaza are at famine’s door. A famine that is being intentionally precipitated through the blocking of food and global humanitarian assistance by leaders in the Israeli government.” She added, “If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like.”

Similarly, around Christmas of 2023, AOC suggested that Jesus was a Palestinian refugee, saying, “In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents.” She added, “He was part of a targeted population being indiscriminately killed to protect an unjust leader’s power.”
