Ironically, when she made her claim about sexual assault, she prefaced it with.......”I haven’t told many people this but.......”.

nonetheless, she announces it to the world right when she knows the truth will come out about her not being anywhere around the action. She was so traumatized by the sexual assault assault that her mind exaggerated the Capitol riot. PTSD........

“... Weaponized Her Followers ...”

I think every follower should carry a sign saying “I am not a weapon”.

A group of thousands of inspired people can be scary to the other side. What we have these days is thousands of peaceful people with a few weapons-people mixed in.

On Twitter she just compared herself to a war vet.

Wowza.

Exaggerated? She flat out lied. Her timeline is way off. What she claims could not possibly have happened.

What I despise most about women like this is that they chip away at the credibility of those who suffered real trauma and are in genuine need of help and support.

That’s not how sexual abuse trauma works.

I am not at all clear as to the age AOC claims to have been at the time of the trauma she says she experienced. Not much of anything AOC says is very clear.

Would you toss out the claim of a seven year old because her memories of being sexually molested at age four are a bit sketchy?

Victims who were traumatized early in life may even have been pre-verbal? Does that make their trauma less real?

It’s actually worse. The younger child has an even greater struggle to make sense of an experience that has completely overwhelmed her coping abilities.

It’s typically a combination of the victim’s memories AND current symptom picture that tells the story. There are behaviors that can be observed by a skilled trauma therapist without retraumatizing a child victim.

Asserting that not fully recalling facts around early abuse is a terrible reason to disbelieve a victim and can do profound damage.

As for AOC, there is nowhere near enough info from which to draw any conclusions.

She does come off a bit histrionic, but that can be a chicken vs egg issue.

To observe a genuine victim of sexual abuse whose behavior and background are quite consistent with the history that she relates, I invite you to watch an interview with Tara Reade.

What do you mean that is not how it works?

I think she should have to define it

I dont believe anything she says. Something is wrong with her...maybe she has NPD...

Or maybe she was molested as a child and that accounts for all her traumatic fakeness

whatever the case...if she is going to come forward to use it as an excuse and make the claim she should define it.
