[Secret Agent Man]

Welcome to another episode of feminist socialist fantasy theater.

[windsorknot]

The “sexual assault” is by the Left on American citizens. BOHICA.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

AOC is a victim of a sexual assault? I'd say that the perp got what he deserved, and has been punished enough already.

Its good when politicians fear their constituents

Huh? AOC's office is 216 Cannon. Katie Porter is in 1117 Longworth. I do not remember mobs storming the Cannon and Longworth buildings, but AOC clearly lives in an alternative, fact free parallel universe.

Office suites in Cannon generally consist of three rooms. All have doors opening onto the hallway. The Member usually sits at one end. This is the office with the private restroom; the staff uses the public restrooms down the hall. The middle room is the entrance area, typically with a section subdivided as a small office and meeting room for the use of staff meeting with visitors. The rest of the staff is shoehorned into cubicles in the third office.

So: AOC is telling us that she heard banging on the doors and a commotion in her outer office. Giving her the benefit of the doubt -- i.e., trying to figure out what triggered her hallucinations -- there might well have been banging on the doors if the Capitol Police were trying to clear the building. I don't know if that was done on the 6th, but it's possible. AOC panicked at a commotion made by her own staff, hid in her bathroom, and then fled in terror through the empty hallways to Katie Porter's office, where she holed up. I can only imagine that she's pals with Katie Porter and knew that Katie had a better stocked liquor cabinet, and maybe a relatively sane staff who were calmly going about their business.

AOC is now spinning this as a sexual assault? And the press is going to play along? A psychotic basket case fleeing in terror from her own staff, pursued by the demons in her head?

And Democrats will take it all at face value.

And I’ve got some real nice waterfront property in FL to sell you.

Honest.

It sounds like she knows she has been harming the nation and thought she was getting her just rewards.

OC 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

Translated from AOC hysteria-speak, what this means is that the receptionist stayed at her desk. The rest of the staff also kept working in the next room, alert to heroically man the barricades if someone tried to bypass the receptionist. Did AOC experience "trauma?" I suppose that's a matter of definition. Do hallucinations, a psychotic break and paranoid hysteria count as trauma?

Oh the drama! Clutching my pearls reading this!

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.

4 year anniversary of the MeToo pussyhat insurgency?

[imardmd1]

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.

[Irenic]

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.

[SuperLuminal]

Have to pity the pore bastard she assaulted...
Probably blind from the syphilis by now...
Worse than being assaulted by Lorena B...

[alexander_busek]

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

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?

So I don’t have to suffer Post-AOC-Whacko-Disorder reading that again, can someone tell me where in that saga was the ‘sexual assault’?
