@AOC just shared on IG Live that she is a survivor of sexual assault.

She says that this is part of the reason she has waited to tell her story of her experience during the Capitol insurrection. As a survivor, she is used to not being believed. @AOC

@AOC says 1 week before the insurrection she was getting texts that she needed to be careful, specifically on the 6th.

In a deeply relatable move, AOC says she was singing Nina Simone and feeling great after Ossoff and Warnock won in Georgia. (Just before the insurrection began.)

Then after 1pm, AOC says she heard a BOOM. "I hear these huge violent bangs on my door and then every door going into my office."

This is harrowing. AOC says she was told to run and hide. She jumped into a bathroom, closed the door, and then realized she should have hidden in the closet. She opened the door to run across to the closet and could hear that someone had gotten into her office.

While AOC was hiding she heard people yelling: "Where is she?" They even opened the bathroom door and she was hiding directly behind it. "I thought everything was over," she says of that moment.

AOC is very clear: "I thought I was going to die."

AOC is breaking down in tears talking about her state of mind when she thought she might die. "I had fulfilled my purpose."

She says that the man turned out to be a Capitol police officer. But he was looking at her with anger and hostility, and he was there without a partner. Something did not feel right. She wasn't sure if she was projecting.

"It felt like a zombie movie," AOC says of the experience.

Eventually AOC ended up sheltering in @katieporteroc's office. She says that she tore through Rep. Porter's office looking for places to hide.

AOC is getting choked up talking about the staffers who were willing to put themselves between the representatives and any potential danger entering the office.

Later that night, when AOC told @AyannaPressley what had happened to her earlier, Rep. Pressley immediately told her that she had experienced TRAUMA.

"Recognizing and admitting [trauma] is already a huge first step. Especially in a world where people are trying to tell you that you didn't experience what you experienced." -@AOC

AOC is hammering home that accountability is necessary for safety. Currently there is no accountability, and therefore no safety.

"You want to be president so bad that you are going to allow your own colleagues' lives to be in danger," AOC says, calling out the "craven" ambitions of people like Cruz and Hawley.

That would be a reasonable conclusion.

A final thought, which I'll mention because no one else has. I used to work on the Hill (a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away), for Members who shall remain nameless. I knew a lot of congressmen and senators of both parties. In my estimation, the first reaction of most Members in a crisis situation would be to check on the safety of their staff. If the office had to be evacuated, all would go together. In the private sector offices in which I've worked since then, the reaction would have been the same. The one actual crisis evacuation situation through which I worked was DC's earthquake some years ago. That turned out to be a single shock that did some structural damage around town but nothing catastrophic, but of course we couldn't know that at the time. We all evacuated. The boss was the last one out the door, and we took a nose count before we dispersed to go home. I truly believe that ALL of the principals for whom I've worked over the years would have looked out for their people. NONE of them would have hidden in panic or cut and run.

There are some good memes to be developed here, but it's too late at night for me to worry about that. But people with a talent for such things should not drop the observation: when things got dicey -- if only in her own mind -- AOC's reaction was to panic, abandon her staff and hide.

The article is written in a confusing way. But, this is what jumped out at me:

someone had gotten into her office.

Then a few lines down:

the man turned out to be a Capitol police officer.

So, yes, it sounds as if a Capitol police officer went to her office, but she thought the mob had come to get her.

So her “boss” is a pedo and *I* am a survivor of a pedo uncle and now I have to “cope” with that grinning, kid groping, demonic, skeletor freak for 4 years *without* spiraling [further] into depression so [deleted] her! and her “assault”.

She's running out of episodes. Tell me of some young female barkeeper/waitress who hasn't had to take this factor in consideration as employment that occasions more than one such hazardous duty events, and haddle it effectively.

Publicity, publicity, publicity at whatever the cost. Flagrant display of narcissisn.

No compassion here.

If that’s a valid argument then THE WALL needs to be finished and all ILLEGALS sent home.

Plenty of us that have been traumatized by illegals that have come into this country.

How could she find a closet to hide in? She didn’t even know what a garbage disposal was. Closets are way above her IQ level.

Girl to Biden. “Joe, is that a pencil in your pocket or are you just happy to feel me”?

Well, it's a good thing that Congresswoman Cortez did her civic duty and immediately reported those threats to law-enforcement authorities, right?

Her fellow threatened Congressmembers should be so-oo grateful!

Wait... You mean... She didn't?

Re “Did anyone notice she was getting ‘ominous text’ a week before the “insurrection”?

Sheesh! Dumbo saw a weather storm alert from the Weather Channel for Chicago on her IPhone!!
