Former MLB star Kevin Youkilis called out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., after the lawmaker reacted to the attack on those who called for the release of Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity in Boulder, Colorado, over the weekend.
FOX NEWS -- Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a post on social media on Monday she was "horrified" by the attack.
"My heart is with the victims and our Jewish communities across the country," she added. "Antisemitism is on the rise here at home, and we have a moral responsibility to confront and stop it everywhere it exists."
The two-time World Series champion, who is Jewish, called out Ocasio-Cortez and wondered what she had done to confront those who have called for intifadas in New York.
"Jews are targeted with violence and it's the same virtue signal post time and time again," he wrote on X in response. "What have you done to confront those calling for intifadas in NYC? Until you create a plan of action, your repeated virtue signaling after the violence occurs holds no weight."
When asked what he wanted the Democrat lawmaker to do, Youkilis responded, "Confront the radical mobs chanting for intifadas in NYC.
"That would be brave leadership, but we know politicians, on both sides of the aisle, shy away in fear of losing votes and power."
In the midst of last year’s chaos at Columbia University, Ocasio-Cortez called anti-Israel agitators on campus "peaceful." The message came as Jewish students were recommended to leave home as students were caught on camera sympathizing with Hamas.
