Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) was noticeably missing from President Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday. The self-described democratic socialist claimed that security concerns were a factor in her skipping the inauguration, adding that she and fellow Democratic lawmakers don’t feel safe around Republicans.
Ocasio-Cortez appeared on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” where she was asked about her absence at President Biden’s inauguration.
“You knew that people would ask why you weren’t there,” CNN host Chris Cuomo said Thursday evening. “This was a good cause, from your perspective, of dealing with your constituency. But this was supposed to be a show of force, and unity, and you weren’t there. Explain it.”
“I think we also had very real security concerns as well, as you mentioned earlier. We still don’t yet feel safe around other members of Congress,” Ocasio-Cortez said, as reported by the Daily Wire.
When asked what she meant by “we,” AOC replied, “I think a very considerable amount — a lot of members do not feel safe.”
Cuomo butted in, “You really think that colleagues of yours in Congress, may do you dirty?”
“Yes, well, one just tried to bring a gun on the floor of the House today,” Ocasio-Cortez replied. “I believe it was Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland. He tried to bring in a gun on to the House floor. For individuals who don’t know, guns are not allowed in the District of Columbia. And certainly the House floor is, there are separate House rules that prohibit the bringing in of firearms. Now, these are rules that date back to the Civil War. And these are individuals that are trying to sneak firearms either illegally or in direct violation of House rules. Why does a member of Congress need to sneak a gun on to the House floor?”

Crazy wimp.
Didn’t feel safe?
Poor Sandy. I’m sure she was afraid people would laugh at her ignorance, as they usually do.
I wish this was true.
Always be the victim.
Always be the victim.
Good. She needs to hold that thought. And be afraid — very afraid.
Too bad those fun bags aren’t brains.
Or she knows her communist revolutionary groups are planning more riots
Good, that should keep her our of The House...
She would not feel safe in my kitchen, either.
“Why does a member of Congress need to sneak a gun on to the House floor?”
That’s a good question their Big Teeth. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Congress has MURDERERS ON STAFF WHO KILL INNOCENT UNARMED CONVERSATIVIES.
You Come Dunt.
The feeling was mutual. They heard she was a super spreader...
Not many republicans left in Washington city, lots of rinos.

Well, I’ve been saying for some time she needed help.
