"Team AOC" sent out an email Wednesday night asking supporters to report social media posts which include the revelation that Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was not in the US Capitol Building during the January 6 riot, which she wasn't. The email called the posts "misleading information" though the information was based on fact.
AOC calling people to report misinformation hmmmm pic.twitter.com/mVoglHpqdT— Jack Posobiec ?? (@JackPosobiec) February 4, 2021 The email was sent in response to the hashtag #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett trending on Twitter after it was revealed that Ocasio-Cortez was not in the Capitol Building at the time of the pro-Trump riot on Jan. 6. She had posted an emotional Instagram video Tuesday suggesting that she was, but also said in that video that she was in her office. Her office is in the Cannon House Office Building.
#AlexandriaOcasioSmollett is now #3 trend nationwide pic.twitter.com/sgMqoN6Xvd— Jack Posobiec ?? (@JackPosobiec) February 3, 2021 In the email, the congresswoman's team calls on supporters to "scan your social media to find posts with this 'misleading information,' especially those using the misleading hashtag," and to report it.
#AlexandriaOcasioSmollett was trending on Twitter on Wednesday, which is a reference to the infamous hate crime hoax perpetuated by actor Jussie Smollett in 2019, wherein he falsely claimed that he was beaten by a group of Trump supporters in Chicago shouting racial slurs and telling him "this is MAGA country." It was later discovered that Smollett had paid two men to beat him up and place a noose around his neck. Smollett continues to insist that the assault happened as he originally alleged.
Ocasio-Cortez had seemingly claimed that rioters had made it to her office door yelling "where is she?" She further claimed that she thought she was going to die during the riot and that Republican Senators such as Ted Cruz were complicit in the alleged attempt on her life. The man who came to her office seeking her whereabouts was actually a Capitol Police Officer looking to direct her to safety.

The Cannon HOB is accessible to the Capitol via tunnel. On Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez spoke to millions of fans on Instagram relaying her past experience of sexual assault, which she said left her traumatized. This experience, she said, was compounded by her what happened to her during the Capitol Hill riot, during which she hid in her office's bathroom. Rep. Nancy Mace, who occupies offices two doors down, said there were no rioters in their hallway.
.@AOC made clear she didn’t know who was at her door. Breathless attempts by media to fan fictitious news flames are dangerous.
My office is 2 doors down. Insurrectionists never stormed our hallway. Egregious doesn’t even begin to cover it. Is there nothing MSM won’t politicize? pic.twitter.com/Tl1GiPSOft— Rep. Nancy Mace (@RepNancyMace) February 2, 2021 Hours later a new hashtag #AOClied was trending on Twitter.
Ocasio-Cortez has spoken at length about her experience during the Capitol Hill riot on Jan. 6. From her live Instagram videos, it has seemed like she was on the front line, facing down Trump supporting rioters in the halls outside her office. But it turns out, Ocasio-Cortez wasn't in the Capitol at the time of the assault on Congress, she was in her office another building entirely.
The email asks supporters not to use the hashtag themselves because it will only "spread them further."
AOC is going to her email list to ask them to petition Facebook and Twitter to take down posts correctly stating she wasn't in the Capitol building at the time of the riots? https://t.co/AgZyft0D0m— Zaid Jilani (@ZaidJilani) February 4, 2021 The email then asks supporters to report the "threatening or harassing" posts and flag them for moderators, knowing that Facebook and Twitter "have built in tools for reporting posts and tweets that break the rules." The email appears to be another example of Democrats and progressives asking "Big Tech" to silence conservatives and Republicans on social media.
It was unclear what rules had been broken by Twitter users who relayed the information that she was not in her office during the assault on the Capitol, as the claim was proven to be true, and she was not near the riot. It was also unclear what was "threatening or harassing" about the posts. The email then claimed that these kind of posts are what triggered the Jan. 6 riot in the first place and says "people have been mislead and radicalized."
It was only a few months ago, in the lead-up to the November presidential election, that Ocasio-Cortez bragged that the progressive movement has "radicalized" millennials. "We're winning," she said at the time, "we're doing this thing... we've won the generational argument, and that millennials are radicalized and Gen Z is out here with class consciousness and I truly believe that we're winning this and I couldn't be more excited."
According to her email, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people have seen the posts. Many were quick to point out on social media that rather than working on helping people with COVID relief or any other number of government tasks, Ocasio Cortez was using her resources to try to cancel truthful posts about her own deception.
She’s a Dem, she can lie all she wants. And yes, they are winning, bigly.
It’s the schools. They took them, now they are grinding our arses with all the little leftist mush heads they’ve created.
More cerveza, you globe-eyed puta!
Cmon, give her a break. She is just trying to win the Oscar for the best brainless actress of 2021.
Has Twitter or Facebook Banned her yet for her constant Misinformation Campaigns based on Deliberate False Information??
What is a Pro-Trump Riot?
Solid evidence is showing that the chaos, violence and destruction was caused by ANTIFA mixed in, doing what they’re know for.
The Dems set this up and orchestrated it from the beginning, and I mean MONTHS AND MONTHS ago, way before the election.
Remember HRC advice to Buyden, “DO NOT CONCEDE UNDER ANY CONDITIONS!”
................
How bleeping dumb do you have to be to take matching orders from this AOC bimbo?
AOC lied, and she even tossed in the lie that she was sexually assaulted and this was just like that.
Don’t forget all our new leaders. Along with a lying bartender we have;
a weak minded president
a VP that slept her way to the top
a Miss Oil Rack as speaker
plus add those that fit
Bump
Remember when she posted a picture of herself “crying outside an immigrant detention center” and it turned out she was crying at a fence around a parking lot. She’s a natural-born liar and hoaxer.
Too funny, I wonder if she ate at Subway during the riots?
Bet she got a footlong?................
I wouldn’t trust her to scoop out my chicken house.
double meat
This is the dictionary definition of censorship.
In a crusty bun.....................
for me, this story is just too too funny. 1 minute she says i feared for my life and then the rape crap she spewed. and now we find out she wasn’t even there. this is so special forever now she will be named JESSIE
Juicy...................
