AOC's campaign office vandalized with red paint in NYC

BRONX, NEW YORK, JUL 21 – The Bronx office was vandalized with red paint and a sign accusing Rep. Ocasio-Cortez of funding genocide in Gaza after her vote against cutting $500 million for Israel's missile defense system.

  • Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Bronx campaign office was vandalized early morning July 21, 2025, with red paint and a sign reading, "AOC Funds Genocide in Gaza."
  • The vandalism followed Ocasio-Cortez's vote last month against a House amendment to cut U.S. funding for Israel’s air defense systems, which some critics say triggered backlash.
  • The Boogie Down Liberation Front claimed responsibility for the redecoration, condemning Ocasio-Cortez’s vote as supporting Israel's campaign in Gaza and denouncing local politicians.
  • Ocasio-Cortez explained on social media that the proposed amendment would stop funding for Israel’s Iron Dome defense system but would allow offensive military support to continue, criticizing Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment for failing to halt offensive aid to Israel.
  • Authorities reported no arrests and an ongoing investigation, while Rep. Grace Meng condemned the vandalism and noted that expressing disapproval should not involve making people feel unsafe.
