A group of pro-Palestinian protesters on Monday accosted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and her fiancé outside a movie theater in Brooklyn and demanded that she call Israel’s offensive in Gaza a "genocide."

Video obtained by Fox News Digital shows the protesters, phones in hand, approaching the congresswoman outside the Alabama Drafthouse.

"You refuse to call it a genocide," one of the protesters can be heard saying, to which Ocasio-Cortez fires back: "I need you to understand that this is not okay."

"It’s not okay that there’s a genocide happening and you’re not actively against it," the protester says.

"You’re lying!" Ocasio-Cortez shouts back.

The video shows the protesters following her down the escalator, continually berating her for not labeling the war a "genocide."

"If you can’t say it, just say it. Literally. We’re just talking to you like normal people. Just say it’s a genocide. Just say it. Over 30,000 people are dead AOC, you can’t just say it for once?" another protester shouts, citing figures from the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza. "Just say the word, that’s it. That’s all we want you to say."

The protesters chase her and her fiancé, Riley Roberts, outside the building. At
