Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Issues Warning To Anonymous Bigots Flooding Her Office With Calls

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-bigoted-callers_us_5c554788e4b09293b2046010

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) sent a warning Friday to the bigots who flood her offices with hateful telephone calls.

The freshman lawmaker tweeted that all the threats were forwarded to Capitol Police “to build files.” She added: “For all those who think your bigoted calls + digital threats are anonymous: Enjoy!”

Ocasio-Cortez’s warning was in response to a tweet from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who also reported being “flooded with bigoted voicemails and calls every day” amid an exchange with Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), who without evidence had earlier intimated that she disliked Jewish people.

I don't always agree with AOC and the new Justice Democrats in the House, but I will never try to take away or detract from what they already accomplished. And these assholes calling their offices need to be held accountable.
