Every American in the country needs to know about this…
The two military veterans who said they walked out of a private meeting with New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez say the Democratic congresswoman is neglecting local issues in favor of “beating up on” President Donald Trump and Republicans.
Vietnam veteran and treasurer of Bronx Community Board 11 Silvio Mazzella told The Daily Caller News Foundation that the May 29 board meeting was the first they had seen of Ocasio-Cortez in their community since she started her congressional term in January.
“She was in office five months, and this is the first time she came to our community,” Mazzella said.
He said the board reached out to Ocasio-Cortez’s office in February regarding concerns of neighborhood graffiti and issues with the postal service, but when the same concerns were brought up at the May 29 community board meeting more than three months later, Ocasio-Cortez took notes and said she would “look into it,” according to Mazzella.
“We called her back in February about a postal problem, and she never addressed it, she showed up at the meeting and said, ‘I’ll look into it,’” Mazzella explained.
Military veteran and former New York City Police Department officer Anthony Vitaliano told TheDCNF that Ocasio-Cortez arrived more than 20 minutes late for the private meeting.
“She was supposed to get there at 5, but didn’t get there until 5:23,” Vitaliano said.
He explained that he feels Ocasio-Cortez is neglecting the issues raised by her local constituents.
“She wants to be an international person rather than a local congresswoman. I think she neglects the local issues,” he explained.
Vitaliano served on the Bronx Community Board as chairman from 2008-2018. He says the congresswoman could be doing more to help her local community.
“I care about my community, she cares more about beating up on Trump and the Republicans than the community,” Vitaliano said.
“Am I happy with her? No. We want our congresswoman to address local issues. I don’t think she’s addressing our issues,” he continued.
The two military veterans reportedly walked out in the middle of the private meeting with Ocasio-Cortez due to her allegedly anti-American rhetoric.
Mazzella said the congresswoman was criticizing American foreign policy, blaming America for the bloodshed in the presently occurring Yemen Civil War. He said that her rhetoric reminded him of the protesters he encountered coming home from Vietnam.
“It reminded me of when I got back from Nam, with the protesters. They were there when I got off the plane,” he said. “No matter what they believe we are out there fighting for our country.”
Ocasio-Cortez’s spokesperson Corbin Trent reportedly contested the accounts of Mazzella and Vitaliano, claiming that no one walked out during the meeting except for one person who had to pick up their children, according to the New York Post.
“The only person that left the meeting while it was underway was someone who had to go pick up their children,” Trent said.
Bronx Community Board 11 Chairman Albert D’Angelo affirmed that the two did in fact get up and leave during the meeting.
Ocasio-Cortez’s office did not respond to a request for a comment regarding the event.

KOTEX cortez only has $HIT for brains if she even has that at all. She needs to be IMPEACHED and REMOVED from office. She is a TRAITOR to this NATION and Americans NEED to take back OUR country NOW!!!
VERY TRUE SHE HATES THE USA
You seem unable to be civil and rational,. The evidence of any wrong doing by Ocasio- Cortez seems thin at best, are you unAmerican enough to say she has a problem based on the evidence presented?
The Demoncrats use the MSU method. What’s that? Make Stuff Up!
Why don’t you start a petition to remove her. She was not elected by the people. She won a lottery for Pete Sake. And I don’t doubt for one minute that Bernie paid some one off to pick her. There had to be way more qualified people in the running.
Impeach the “let’s impeach” the fairly elected president idiot!
She’s a Muslim, what did you expect. She doesn’t give a rats ass about Christians and the United States of America. She is just biding her time until the 2020 election with hopes to pounce and bounce right in with the left winged radical party and destroy America. Destroyed and converted to Muslim Law, broke, a wild west society. You need a reference? Look at the conditions of Venuzelia. Reference Muslim Law when it comes to women. These stupid women of today with their women rights….they can look forward to be beaten by their husband. Rape? Rape has to be witnessed by four men for any charges to be considered. You liberals think you have it bad? Just wait, you haven’t seen anything yet! One more thing, NOTHING IS FREE!!!
It’s obvious AOC doesn’t understand the responsibilities of her congressional position. As even Nancy Pelosi said, a glass of water with a “D” besides it’s name could have won that district.
Just another lying Democrat and Trump hater she doesn’t even spend time in her own district all she cares about is being in Washington DC and fighting all the republicans then she comes up with this crazy scam that the world going to end in 12 years if we don’t adjust climate change she’s just trying to turn the country into a socialist country like Venezuela.She thinks free healthcare and college for everybody is actually going to be free do you think these people are going to teach for free it’s not gonna happen somebody’s got to pay for it I know I don’t wanna pay a 40% tax bracket especially for people that are here illegally or don’t want to work. So she can’t even help your own district but she wants to run the country or should I say ruin the country…
AOC needs to go we don’t want her speaking for us she is not one of us
AOC is anti-American, anti-Israel, and anti-semitic. The United States is a free country, founded on Christian principles. We have no place for socialism and muslims. Remove AOC from office! She is a traitor! We have no place for traitors! Disbar her remove her from office, and deport her!
🇺🇸 God Bless America! 🇺🇸
She needs to go back to bartending…..she has zip for brains and it’s even doubtful she can even make change for a dollar
I am glad this idiot is in New York
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is so very cute BUT her brain is so screwed up and backward it really is a total shame. She really needs to get that crazy thinking that Socialism is the way to go. Then perhaps she will have a much better future in Politics?
Please unsubscribe my address uou seem to censor my comments even when they have no profanity of any of the language I currently see !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Isn’t that what we call equal opportunity. Face it – there are many problems at the Casa Blanca. The chief is getting bombarded with all those stones. You’ve got to put people in office – who are qualified – the people chose who they want to put in office, not a lottery. I don’t think businesses use the lottery to hire candidates. Anyway – there’s more down the trail. it just hasn’t made the turn, yet!
wait till she stands before Jesus .
sounds like I’ll look into that is a favorite saying of hers, however she has no intention of doing anything. Like to shoot off mouth and then puts her foot in it. Her New green deal is a total disaster and will cause more harm than good. She wants all cars to be electric, no fossil fuel, no air planes, we can swim to Hawaii if a ship isn’t handy. All cattle gone, go more steaks, hamburgers or milk for the kids. No natural gas to heat the house or to cook with. Free medical care, free college education, jobs for everyone, if you don’t work you will still get paid. Sounds like Socialism to me, welcome to the new USA.
Remember this broad has no American values. She couldn’t give a shit about this country.
