Ever known for her hyperbole, far-left New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has falsely accused Donald Trump of ordering a “terrorist attack” against the Capitol during the January 6th protests.
In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Ocasio-Cortez made the case that the current lawfare campaign against Trump is not political but instead about prosecuting terrorist activity:
Has there ever been a president, Republican or Democrat, that has been subject to this level of criminal charges, indictments and investigations? This is not about party. This is not about politics. This is about corruption and criminality.
We’re talking about an individual who ordered essentially a terrorist attack on the Capitol of the United States in order to retain power. That is not about being a Republican. It is not about being a Democrat. It’s about being an unethical individual who is subject and prone to criminality.
And unfortunately, this is the state that we’re in. And I actually think that the fact that it’s happening in so many places and so many jurisdictions cuts in the face of that.
It is, of course, not the first time that Ocasio-Cortez has wildly exaggerated the threat posed during the January 6th protests, in which individuals expressed their frustration at the lack of action taken against widespread evidence of election fraud.
AOC: Trump “Ordered Essentially a Terrorist Attack” on the U.S. Capitol.
Tapper asks AOC if independent voters could perceive Trump’s many legal cases as “somebody that the government is going after.”
AOC insists the prosecutions are not about politics:

I’m waiting for the photogenic English-speaking female “undocumented migrant” who is going to run against her and from which country she will be from. She’ll be the one who “actually knows the plight of the undocumented, etc. etc.”
Quite the opposite, you useful idiot, but Twitter deleted Potus' posts, so no one could see it. Then they kicked him. The MSM didn't air any of his remarks and twisted them instead. Oh, you probably already know that and were totally on board. After all, it is for our own good and for "justice."
So, where is this justice, AOC? An installed president that this country didn't want? A government that kills and frames it's own private citizens? An authorized invasion of criminals from other countries? Devaluing our work with economic policies that are completely nonsensical unless your sole aim is destroying this country? Who is really promoting the terrorism?
And yet, there you sit all shiny and comfortable. Basking in your popularity and accolades. Your time will come. Not necessarily for you AOC as an individual, but the entire crooked mechanism behind you. I hate you people with a white-hot hatred.
Leftists love to redefine terms. RICO, Fascist, woman, justice, it goes on and on. Very Orwellian .
LOL
True, her generation taught us multitasking.
She lies with forked tongue, just like Elizabeth Warren.
The non-weaponized terrorist attack in world history... meanwhile in Moscow they respond to actual DNC instigated terrorists.
So what?
Better than mean tweets! /s
Bada Bing
And lamenting about her natural gas stove.
What the hell kind of an I.Q. does this Margarita and Taco maid have. 6?
I dont remember AOC once denouncing the terrorist attacks in Israel on October 7th..I dont remember her issuing ONE statement..she doesn’t consider Hamas to be terrorists, but she considers Trump supporters to be terrorists, that is their mindset
If Trump had ordered it, there would have been 200,000+ storming the capital rather than a mere 2000.
Oh AOC, if you only had a brain and weren’t so utterly corrupt, you would have been a half decent bartender. You pretty much peaked out on that job.
*****
Big difference in essentially and actually ordered.
Now, if we want to make these kind of accusations how bout bammy telling folks to get in their faces during the 08 campaign??
There ought to be a law against this type of unfounded accusation.
What a lying bitch.
I hope she gets her fair share on the wrong side of a politicized witch hunt.
The mouth with no brain has spoken, All fall down and obey.
Portion of that Original Post, to clarify specific details ["committee" changed to "January 6 Committee" for example]:
Rep. Liz Cheney and her January 6 Committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops.
In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the January 6 Committee included precisely that evidence from a key source.
The early transcribed interview, which Liz Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now:
Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato’s first transcribed interview with the January 6 Committee was conducted on January 28, 2022. In it, Anthony Ornato told Liz Cheney and her investigators that he overheard White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows push Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to request as many National Guard troops as she needed to protect the city.
Anthony Ornato also testified President Trump had suggested 10,000 would be needed to keep the peace at the public rallies and protests scheduled for January 6, 2021.
Anthony Ornato also described White House frustration with Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller’s slow deployment of assistance on the afternoon of January 6, 2021.
Not only did the January 6 Committee not accurately characterize the interview, January 6 Committee suppressed the transcript from public review.
On top of that, January 6 Committee allies began publishing critical stories [ <- NY Times article ] and even conspiracy theories about Anthony Ornato ahead of follow-up interviews with him.
Anthony Ornato was a career Secret Service official who had been detailed to the security position in the White House.
