AOC's House office vandalized after condemning pager attack in the Middle East

New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez on Friday shared that her office in Washington D.C. was vandalized on Thursday after she criticized a pager attack in the Middle East earlier this week.

Thousands of people were injured and dozens were killed in Lebanon on Tuesday after pagers that belonged to members of the terrorist organization Hezbollah exploded. Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attack so far, but Hezbollah has blamed the Middle Eastern country.

Ocasio-Cortez slammed the pager attack as going against United States policy and international humanitarian law in a series of posts to X on Wednesday. But on Thursday, her office was splattered with signs that accused her of supporting Hezbollah.

“Yesterday my House office was tagged with blood-splattered signs accusing me of supporting terrorism after I questioned the pager operation, which clearly runs counter to US policy,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a post on X. "They must live under a rock to not know I don’t take well to bullies."

The pager attacks were follow Wednesday by a second round of attacks in which other wireless devices including walkie-talkies exploded.

The congresswoman also cited the Department of Defense Law of War Manual, which prohibits using devices that are traditionally harmless as objects that are designed and constructed with explosives.

It is not clear whether any arrests have been made over the vandalism so far. Just The News has reached out to the congresswoman for comment.
