The public figure is up for re-election in November and is facing Republican challenger and local business owner, Tina Forte.
Some attendees held up signs with Forte’s name to show their support: one of which read, “Wake up New York. Vote for Tina Forte. F— AOC.”
As the protestors’ loud screams filled the room, AOC sat on stage, sipped from a water bottle, and began to sway along to the shouts and drumming while brushing off her shoulders.
AOC’s choice to dance amid the criticism has since garnered backlash.
