<p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) struggled at a town hall event Wednesday evening when two attendees confronted her for allegedly supporting nuclear war.</p>
<p><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">&#8220;My friend </span><span class="r-18u37iz"><a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/Noggatone">@Noggatone</a> </span>and I confronted Congresswoman [AOC] on her support for Nuclear War and Ukrainian Nazis,&#8221; Jose Vega captioned his interaction with the congresswoman.</p>
<p>&#8220;I call her out for being a coward in the face of the party that will push us all into Nuclear war right now,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Will she stand up like [Tulsi Gabbard]<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"> and fight for peace?&#8221;</span></p>
<p>AOC complained that the protesters jumped ahead in line to ask their question. The elected official also told the men she would address the issue &#8220;last&#8221; at the event, but video of the live-streamed town hall does not show the Democrat addressing the concerns at all.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>&mdash; Jose Vega — Vote Vega &amp; Sare! (@JosBtrigga) <a href="https://twitter.com/JosBtrigga/status/1580364662419312641?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 13, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>“Tulsi Gabbard, she’s left the Democratic Party because they are war hawks,” one protester told AOC, Timcast first <a href="https://timcast.com/news/rep-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-confronted-by-anti-war-protesters-during-qa-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. “You ran as an outsider! Yet, you’ve been voting to start this war in Ukraine.”</p>
<p>“Why are you playing with the lives of American citizens?” he pressed. “You’re playing with our lives!”</p>
<p>&#8220;You voted to mobilize and send money to Ukrainian Nazis,&#8221; Vega yelled. “You’re a coward!”</p>
<p>In the streamed video of the event, AOC can be heard scolding the men for being &#8220;rude&#8221; and not respecting their neighbors.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not asking you to respect me,&#8221; she said, adding that she wanted the men to &#8220;respect&#8221; their neighbors.</p>
<p>&#8220;You are being rude!&#8221; AOC scolded at another point, adding, &#8220;of course I&#8217;m against it,&#8221; seemingly referring to nuclear war.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>The clip made the rounds online Wednesday evening. Journalist Michael Tracey, for example, commented, &#8220;First time I&#8217;ve seen any high profile &#8216;progressive&#8217; figure challenged on the rabidly pro-war policies they&#8217;ve backed without reservation over the past eight months.&#8221;</p>

<p>Vega told Timcast he is neither Left nor Right-wing and the issue transcends political parties.</p>
<p>“Congress is in recess for the next month until after the elections,” he said. “Everyone should find their representative and tell them that there’s only one thing on the table — and it’s nuclear war. People need to stand up no matter what they believe and speak out against the war mobilization.”</p>
<p>During the same town hall, AOC was pressed on her immigration stance by a retired firefighter, and another constituent asked the Democrat about rising crime with seemingly no consequences.</p>
