(D-N.Y.) said this week during an appearance on Ebro in the Morning that marginalized communities have "no choice but to riot."
"Once you have a group that is marginalized ... once someone doesn't have access to clean water, they have no choice but to riot," Ocasio-Cortez said about a half-hour into the 55-minute interview.
Her remarks came during a discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but Ocasio-Cortez clarified that she was talking about marginalized groups more generally.
"I'm not even talking about Palestinians," she said. "I'm talking about communities in poverty in the United States; I'm talking about Latin America; I'm talking about all over the world."

"Social destabilization is what happens when people do not have a plan or feel like there's no vision for their future," she said.
In the discussion, she also pushed back on the notion that criticizing Israeli policy is anti-Semitic or anti-Israel.
"The same way that me criticizing Trump doesn't make me anti-American, criticizing the occupation doesn't make you anti-Israel," she said. "It doesn't mean that you are against the existence of a nation. It means that you believe in human rights, and it's about making sure that Palestinian human rights are equal to Israeli human rights."
(R-S.C.) accusing her of hating Israel and being anti-Semitic and anti-American.
That tweet followed attacks by Trump against Ocasio-Cortez and other minority congresswomen in which he told them to "go back" where they came from. The House voted to condemn the "go back" comment as racist.
