“Squad Member” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) struggled to be heard during a Friday press conference in New York City as protesters drowned out her and the other Democrats there to speak in favor of the illegal aliens flooding the Big Apple.
New York Democrats Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Jerry Nadler, Rep. Adriano Espaillat, and a group of other elected officials from states including Illinois, California, and Texas were on hand at the Midtown press conference outside the migrant arrival center in the Roosevelt Hotel to talk about a fact-finding mission they were undertaking to “see for themselves what the migration dynamic is in our nation,” Espaillat explained.
But as the officials were speaking to the press, protesters, angry about what the flood of illegals is doing to New York, consistently drowned out what the congresspeople were trying to say.
“Close the border! Close the border! Respect the constitution, AOC! I am your constituent!” one man was heard saying into a megaphone, Fox News reported.
Some protesters carried signs reading, “Americans first: Vetted & legal migrants only.”
Trying but failing to be heard, AOC ignored the protests and told the media, “What we seek to do is to make sure that all the resources are necessary and that we are joining with the city and state.”
