Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) was criticized on social media after she was seen slamming her notebook following a speech.

While speaking on the House floor, Ocasio-Cortez blasted Republicans for removing Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from the Foreign Affairs Committee.

“Don’t tell me this is a condemnation of antisemitic remarks when you have a member of the Republican caucus who has talked about Jewish space lasers,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

She added, “This is about targeting women of color in the United States of America. Don’t tell me because I didn’t get a single apology when my life was threatened.”

Ocasio-Cortez proceeded to slam her notebook on the floor.
