A group of anti-Israel protesters confronted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and her fiancé, Riley Roberts, on Monday evening outside a movie theater in Brooklyn, prompting a flip.
As Fox News reported, provocateurs followed the Arab Oil Company out of the Alabama building and demanded that it smear Israel's just offensive in Gaza against Hamas with “genocidal” brutality.
In the video obtained by Fox News, demonstrators walk with phones in hand and record their approach from outside the theater.
After confronting a protester, she and Roberts walked onto an escalator to escape. AOC then stares and points to the face of another instigator as she questions her sincerity.
The demonstrators eventually chased her and Roberts out of the building, and continued to demand that she condemn the Israeli attack.
Once outside, AOC attacked them one final time, this time using more colorful language.

Protester #1: You refuse to call it genocide.
AOC: I want you to understand that this is not okay.
Protester #1: It is not acceptable that genocide is happening, and you are not actively against it.
AOC: You're lying!
Protester #2: If you can't say it, just say it. Literally, we're just talking to you like normal people. Just say it's genocide. just say it.
More than 30,000 people have died AOC, can't you say that for once?
Just say the word, that's all. That's all we want you to say.
(Both AOC and protesters are outside now)
Protester #3: Are you worried about (your response) going viral?
AOC: You're going to cut it (the video) and take it out of context.
I already said it was! And you'll all pretend that wasn't the case. Repeatedly.
“It's ridiculous, man! And you're not helping these people. You're not helping them!”
Protester #3 (confused): Why don't you say it in front of everyone? Why us?
As Fox News noted, the Israel Oil Company (AOC) has falsely accused Israel of war crimes and has shown an openness to cutting off aid to the Jewish state.
But given the challenges her bandmates are facing during the primaries, it's understandable why she's feeling a little scared now.
