All hell broke loose at a town hall hosted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Friday, when the far-left “Squad” member was heckled by a protester for failing to stop the “genocide in Gaza” — who was immediately met with a torrent of boos and hisses.

The speculated 2028 presidential candidate was holding a constituent event in Jackson Heights, Queens, when it devolved into chaos after an anti-Israel demonstrator harangued the lawmaker from New York’s 14th Congressional District over the war in Israel.

“I am a health care worker, and I want to know what you’re doing about the genocide in Gaza,” a female disrupter shouted as AOC spoke on stage, video showed.

That declaration set off the crowd, which booed loudly as the woman continued to point and scream at Ocasio-Cortez, who was unable to control the quickly escalating situation.

“I’m a nurse! Shame on you!” the agitator yelled at AOC from her seat. “Shame on you, you’re a liar. You’re a liar!”

Attendees continued to drown out the disruptive nurse with one loudly shouting, “Shame! Shame! Shame!” while others yelled indecipherable counterarguments to the pro-Palestinian attendee as she was corralled by security and staffers.

“You’re a war criminal! War criminal! War criminal!” she yelled on the way out of the auditorium, adding, “Shame on you, I used to support you!”

After a semblance of order was restored, Ocasio-Cortez responded to the provocative outburst.

“I more than welcome people who disagree, or are super pissed off at me for any issue to come, but we have some ground rules here,” she said.

“Please wait for the Q&A because we don’t want to deprive all of our neighbors of the ability to have information and hearing them to respond to it,” the three-term congresswoman said, adding, “We need to be able to have this conversation.”

Friday’s abrasive town hall was a far cry from the reception AOC received around the country as she recently toured with Senator Bernie Sanders on their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour.

In the wake of that nationwide engagement, Ocasio-Cortez raised $9.6 million from 266,000 individual donors with an average contribution of just $21, Fox News reported.

“I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of people supporting us with your time, resources, and energy. Your support has allowed us to rally people together at a record scale to organize their communities,” AOC wrote on X.

Political forecaster Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight predicted AOC will run away with the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, according to Fox News.

“President AOC, the stuff of nightmares,” Vice President JD Vance told Fox News’ “Special Report” host Bret Baier Friday when asked about the possibility of a Vance vs. Ocasio-Cortez matchup in the 2028 presidential election.

“You’ve ruined my sleep for the evening.”
