AOC objects to news site calling her Israel criticism an ‘outburst,’ draws quick backlash

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drew backlash Sunday after objecting to a news site’s description of her recent criticism of Israel as an "outburst."

The New York Democrat suggested that sexism may have played a role in the word choice. "So are the extensively researched, painstaking conclusions from the UN, Human Rights Watch, and B’Tselem (among the largest human rights orgs in the world and in Israel) considered ‘outbursts’ too?" Ocasio-Cortez asked.
