AOC’s campaign office vandalized with anti-Israel message

Her office says she’s faced “multiple threats” on her life in recent days.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has received death threats in recent days and had a campaign office vandalized with a message criticizing her for supporting Israel’s war in Gaza, the campaign manager for the New York congresswoman said Monday.

The congresswoman’s staff is discussing the situation with security officials, campaign manager Oliver Hidalgo-Wohlleben said in a social media post outlining incidents that come as Ocasio-Cortez, long a focus of animosity from conservatives, faces criticism from progressives over a recent vote on Israel.

“Last night, our campaign office in the Bronx was vandalized and we are in the processing of cleaning it up,” Hidalgo-Wohlleben said on X. “In the past few days, we also have received multiple threats on the Congresswoman’s life and we are treating this seriously with our security partners to make sure she, our staff, and volunteers are safe.”

Video captured by local news outlets in New York showed the message “AOC funds genocide in Gaza” written on a sign hanging in front of her campaign office in the Bronx, along with red paint splattered on the building’s face.
