AOC Decried Growing Anti-Semitism on the Left. Days Earlier, She Requested $1.5 Million Earmark for Legal Group … Washington Free Beacon
—
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) denounced the rise of anti-Semitism in the progressive movement at an event with liberal Jewish leaders on Monday. Weeks earlier, the “Squad” member requested $1.5 million in taxpayer funds for a New York City law group accused of hostility towards Jews and Israel.
Ocasio-Cortez requested an earmark on May 17 for Bronx Defenders to “improve justice in the criminal system” for low-income residents of the borough. Ocasio-Cortez, who has called to defund police, said the grant will help low-income defendants “mount a robust defense,” against what she laments as the “vast” resources of police departments.
