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?”

“They’re not going to stop,” she said.
“This is a movement, I’m telling you, they’re not going to stop, and everyone beware because they’re not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not going to stop after Election Day.
And everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not.”
“...a longer version of the exchange posted by the “Late Show” shows Harris saying that the protests continuing is “critically important” to achieve change.

"Maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren't paying their rent and are scared to pay their rent and so they go out, and they need to feed their child and they don't have money," Ocasio-Cortez continued, "so they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry.”
She had to wonder, when Pelosi and McConnell left ten minutes before the door was breached, how come they were warned and protected when she was not?
Where did you hear that? Wondering minds would like to know.
My Representative! So proud of him! Go Andy!
The rumor was that Nancy and Mitch were spirited away by the Secret Service shortly before the break-in, leaving the rest of the Congresspeople cowering in the House Chamber.
Again, I have no source for this.
Missing but not missed.
Lol! That was a good late-50s song!

Don’t worry, Andrea - no conservative man would touch you with a ten foot pole. Horses and dogs, well that’s another matter.
Pics 5 and 6 ... MY EYES! MY EYES! WHERE’S THE EYE BLEACH?
She probably was happy and fun to be around at that time. It’s easy for people to make fun of how she looks now, but she would have continued to be pretty if she would have stayed with that happy life. She chose misery instead through Leftist politics, and it shows through her face.
She appears to have been a mindless bimbo all of her life.
If I were with her at a club or party and she did this stuff like this below, I'd walk out and leave her there. Women can be jerks, too. This is not some normal and happy girl having fun. It's bizarre behavior.
Let us hope, AOC feels less safe next term.
Drama queen.
Then resign and do no more harm.
She was among the first wave of “safe space”, trigger-warning college grads—and is using that language to advocate a purge from Congress of even the putatively conservative Reps therein at this point.
Thanks - I needed that! Any chance at sending them to my neck of the wood? We’re knee deep in snow here - I could use some Florida scenery.
