RED ALERT

AOC’s Bronx Office Doused With Red Paint in Vandalism Case

Authorities are investigating the crime against the Democratic congresswoman.

Officials are investigating the vandalism of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign office, which occurred early morning Monday. Located in the Bronx in Westchester Square, red paint was splattered over the front gates of the building, covering a photo of AOC’s face. A sign reading “AOC FUNDS GENOCIDE IN GAZA” was also taped in the front of the building. “We see a lot of this stuff, we’re going to review our cameras and that of the building, too,” said Oliver Hidalgo, Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign manager, to Eyewitness News. “We’ve been in touch with the landlord and folks and we’ve had a lot of folks who have been reaching out, volunteers who want to help and clean up, so they’ll be doing that. I just got here, so I don’t know if there’s anything else beyond this, but the number one priority is making sure people are ok.” An anti-Israel activist group called Boogie Down Liberation Front claimed responsibility for the vandalism according to an X post by Ashoka Jegroo. Ocasio-Cortez has yet to publicly comment on the vandalism.
