Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - a Liar or Ignoramus?

From the ABC news clip of June 27, 2018:  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on her winning the Democratic primary election for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives from the 14th Congressional District, Bronx and Queens:

"I know that every single person here has worked their butt off to change the future of the Bronx and Queens.   That's what I know."

Ocasio-Cortez recites these very words in the newsclip as she simultaneously points her finger directly at the person standing behind her - Thomas Lopez-Pierre:

Thomas Lopez-Pierre ran for a NYC council seat in Upper Manhattan and lost in 2017.  Here we have a photo of  Lopez-Pierre campaigning for Ocasio-Cortez at the Pelham Bay subway station in the Bronx:   

Lopez-Pierre is known for his anti-Semitic remarks about "greedy Jewish landlords" which can be seen in this YouTube video clip:

NYC Councilman Mark Levine, who is Jewish and defeated Lopez-Pierre in 2017, offered to let this issue pass in a tweet:

"Thomas Lopez-Pierre has been showing up unwanted in campaigns for years, and frequently jumps into pictures with people who don't know who he is.  Let's give@Ocasio2018 a chance to denounce him and his brazen anti-Semitism before jumping to conclusions."

Ocasio-Cortez replied in her tweet:

"Thank you for this opportunity and your graciousness here. No idea who this guy is, hundreds of folks walked into the hall open to the public last night.  I absolutely denounce any such bigoted and reprehensible statements."

She claims ignorance of him and his history.  You, dear Reader, looking at the photos, decide the veracity of this claim.
