Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shared a flyer via Instagram on Tuesday that called to ‘defend’ Drag Story Hour in NYC.
The flyer, which AOC shared from an Instagram account named ‘therollinglibrary,’ said “Defend Drag Story Hour in NYC! Help protect queer spaces and expression under threat from the far right.”
“Congresswoman AOC has shared a far-left flyer on Instagram for comrades to come to a direct action to ‘protect’ a children’s drag queen event in Queens. A number of these drag events have been protested by BIPOC New Yorkers concerned about what they say is sexual propaganda,” journalist and author Andy Ngo tweeted.

The Post Millennial added:
The event calls on attendees to wear regular clothing and a mask, as well as “rainbow swag, non-amplified noisemakers, musical instruments, joy, and love.”
The post continues: “A group of violent loud bigots, who have repeatedly harassed and invaded these events in the city is openly planning to disrupt the next Drag Story Hour, on Thursday, December 29 at Jackson Heights Library in Queens.
Previous NYC “Drag Queen Story Hour” events have led to confrontations between groups that required police intervention.
