Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and other members of the far-left "Squad" are facing a class action lawsuit alleging that they incited and encouraged anti-Israel protests and encampments at Columbia University earlier this year.
Five students filed the lawsuit anonymously, naming Ocasio-Cortez and Democratic Reps. Jamal Bowman of New York and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. The lawsuit also names roughly a dozen anti-Israel organizing groups.
"The Gaza Encampment was extreme and outrageous conduct. It was illegal. It violated university rules. Its occupants harassed, followed, physically blocked, intimidated, and bullied Jewish students," the lawsuit reads.
Two of the five students behind the lawsuit are Jewish. One of them, identified only as "Tim Doe," spoke about his experience with the New York Post.
