Why AOC says she didn’t feel safe around her colleagues during Capitol riot
When angry supporters of President Donald Trump, many armed, stormed the Capitol last Wednesday, the congresswoman said she “had a very close encounter where I thought I was going to die,” though she didn’t detail the incident, citing security reasons.
“All of these thoughts come rushing to you,” she said. “I did not know if I was going to make it to the end of the day — and not just in a general sense but also in a very, very specific sense.”
Some members of Congress huddled in “a secure extraction point,” but Ocasio-Cortez said she didn’t feel safe joining because “QAnon and white supremacist sympathizers, and frankly white supremacist members of Congress in that extraction point, who I know, and who I had felt would disclose my location… who would create opportunities to allow me to be hurt, kidnapped.”
“I didn’t even feel safe around other members of Congress, and to be kind of fending for yourself in that way is traumatizing,” she said.
She is accusing other members of Congress of being white supremacists and saying that they would deliberately allow her be be harmed by the mob.
That is a very serious accusation.
AOC Slams Republicans for Playing Victim While Posting Images With Guns Next to Dems
Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has criticized Republicans in Congress for complaining about the new House metal detectors, noting that at least one Republican has previously posted an image of themselves holding a gun next to Democrats.
“It’s almost as though GOP members promoting videos of themselves illegally carrying firearms on Capitol grounds, posting images of themselves holding guns next to Democratic members, & inciting an attack on the Capitol has consequences! Naturally, GOP are crying & playing victim,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Tuesday.
Not illegally carrying guns. Members of Congress can carry in the Capitol. It is a special privilege they enjoy.
Also, if anyone is as expert at playing the victim, it’s AOC.
The Democrats are pissed as shit that they lost seats in the House.
They are going to try and even the score by ejecting House Republicans.
From there they could do a lot while States scramble to hold special elections and fill vacancies.
AOC saying that she’s scared of gun carrying Republicans who were going to hand her over to a mob is something they can use to oust members of Congress .
They are going nuclear.
How did America come apart? First slowly, then all at once.
