Exactly. Basically “I want to address your concerns, but it would be better addressed in the upcoming Q&A portion, so could you please hold your concerns until then? Thank you.”
Thats what passes as “chaos” for Democrats, while MAGA Nazis are literally deliberately destroying the global economy for the benefit of Putin, and the world’s Sociopathic Oligarchs.
One person asked a question outside of the Q&A portion and was eventually escorted out and they call it chaos? Even compare it to other town halls where people were tased.
Pure sensationist title.
The title is completely sensationalized.
There was one person who disrupted it by shouting about Gaza (a worthy thing to shout about), and just shouting that she was a liar. AOC maintained her decorum; the crowd became irritated with the disruption, and booed the person, who was shortly thereafter escorted out. Not arrested - escorted out. AOC then followed this up with:
“Here’s the deal, with town halls: I more than welcome people who disagree or are maybe even super pissed off at me for any issue to come but we have some ground rules here. Please wait for the Q&A because we don’t want to deprive all of our neighbors of the ability to have information and hear things and respond to it,” Ocasio-Cortez told the crowd.”
I genuinely cannot think of how she could have handled this better or more gracefully.
This is probably an attempt at making Democrat town halls become as chaotic as Republican town halls, so when the press reports another incident at a GOP event, they can write it off as “no big deal” and blunt the effectiveness of protesting at town halls.
Worse. It’s the idiocy of the far left who are getting manipulated into self destructive behavior like this.
Yes there’s an element of manipulation here. But there’s also the stupidity of allowing yourself to get manipulated by dumb shit you saw on Facebook.
This is just a preview of the resistance we will see next election year. We need to stand firm and build a true coalition to retake the country.
Why is this post title edited (incorrectly) from the article itself?
There have been times I’ve seen the title of the original article changed after the article had already been submitted. Was very common on Reddit.
Things erupt into chaos. Not disrupt
I would have invited the protester back for the Q&A as a massive power move/give that person a chance.
Then watch them squirm and flub the issue they claim to champion.
Sure but most importantly give people a chance to learn and speak. Imagine if that person was invited back to the Q&A and then spoke their mind, this is a lesson that could be learned and better for those to witness . Good chance there would be feedback. Second lesson could be that feedback. Third, picture the experience everyone is getting in that moment, learning together.
Since AOC insisted on waiting for Q&A to answer the question how did she inevitably respond once they got to the Q&A portion? The article doesn’t seem to say.
