Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) will bring a woman to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address who protested then-Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) in a Capitol Hill elevator over his support for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s comfirmation.
Ana Maria Archila, co-executive direct of the progressive advocacy group the Center for Popular Democracy, confronted the Arizona Republican as he made his way to a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to advance Kavanaugh’ nomination to a full Senate floor vote.
In a statement to The Intercept, Archila said expressed gratidue for Ocasio-Cortez’s invitation to Tuesday’s high-stakes speech.
“I just feel particularly moved that in her first participation in the State of the Union she is inviting me to join and inviting that moment of the elevator, my confrontation with the men who do not understand the life of women and the lives of people who are not in power, that she’s inviting that into the imagination of people again,” Archila told the news outlet.
Ocasio-Cortez hinted at her guest’s identity on Saturday, tweeting a photo of a pin that reads: “Well behaved women rarely make history.”

I can still hear my Dad saying:
Let me see WHO you hang out with & I will tell you YOUR character>
Our country as a whole is in much better shape mentally than the House, where all the nation’s nutbag kookery is concentrated.
PDJT is a shrewd tactician & the first rule of tactics is to not interfere with your enemy while he is destroying himself.
When the shrieks & catcalls reach fever pitch, Trump will pause, gesture expansively at the hecklers and say something like “So you thought I was kidding about crazy Democrats!” or, “Do you want these people running your lives?”
Dems think they can disrupt his address but they will only be supplying PDJT with lots of ammunition.
Does anyone know if the Secret Service screens for weapons at these events? Congress can be trusted now less than ever. Commies and swamp creatures abound.
Agree totally. This is going to a circus...an embarrassment for the President and for the country. These fools will cause major disruption, will boo, who knows, I won’t be surprised if they throw things at POTUS. It’s going to be disgustingly ugly. A sad time for our country...truly sad, and scary times for America.
These two mentally-ill loons should be in a zoo.
It’s just the dems are trying to locate people with less brains than they have for show.
If you want to look sane stand next to a crazier person.
Yes, they do.
I was a Senate gallery guest of a Senator being sworn in. Had to go thru security to do so.
Thank you!

That would take some effort!
I thought a candidate could use campaign funds for things like clothing, jewelry, watches etc. It helps promote their image and thus deemed a campaign expense.
Lock at me! NO! Look at me!
Take heart, PDJT has seen this coming from miles away. He will play the hecklers like the fools they are, who think they can win by being disruptive. He will personify that poster that says, “It’s not me they’re after, it’s you. I’m just in the way”.
Let the liberals feel embarrassment about America, as in “the rest of the world is laughing at us” about....our “lax” gun laws, obesity rate, poverty, racism, sexism, Islamophobia, etc., etc. Let them be the handwringers.
I’m surprised it isn’t Flake himself. He’s the perfect woos for it.
Why do the Dems like to parade around these useless idiots? What’s the purpose?
And Jimmy Kimmel was far too important to be someone’s “guest.”
We know the SOTU address will be a 3-ring circus! I hope Trump has a plan to walk out and finish at the Oval Office.
Not protester; activist. There’s a big difference.
Prepare yourself to be outraged at the outrageous.
Ill-behaved women often get punched in the damn mouth.
