Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) was shouted down by a pair of protesters during town hall on Oct. 12 for her endorsement of military aid to Ukraine.

“Congresswoman, none of this matters unless there’s a nuclear war, which you voted to send arms and weapons to Ukraine,” one of the protesters yelled while condemning Ocasio-Cortez for backing US arms support to Ukraine against Russia that’s raising concerns among some citizens of a third world war.
