AOC doubles down on ‘terrifying’ Capitol riot experience

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday doubled down on her “terrifying” experience during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — saying she initially kept mum about it because “so many survivors fear being publicly doubted.”

The Bronx-Queens congresswoman appeared on “CBS This Morning” after being accused of exaggerating details of Jan. 6, when a mob of protesters supporting former President Donald Trump protesters breached the Capitol building.

“It’s unfortunately kind of the spring to deny and to politicize our accounts, was something that I sat with,” Ocasio-Cortez said on the show. “So many survivors fear being publicly doubted. But the fact of the matter is the account is accurate.”

She added, “When it comes to minimizing the experience of survivors, that is extremely damaging as well.”

The second-term Democrat posted a livestream recounting the chaos, telling her Instagram followers that she had a “very close encounter” that left her thinking “I was going to die.”

She was holed up in her office in the Cannon building, part of the Capitol complex but not within the Capitol building itself. The Cannon building was evacuated that day.

Pretty soon, she’s going to be talking about how she was on PT 109 with Joe Biden.

Is there a Google translation for that ???

I guess it wasn’t terrifying for Lindsey Graham and Rand Paul and their respective wives to be surrounded by howling mobs (who were beginning to touch them and shove them) on their way back from an official event and only rescued at the last minute by some police who were no doubt disobeying Mayor Idiot’s “stand down and let BLM eat the Republicans” orders.

AOC wasn’t there, was surrounded by police and military support, and in any case there was no “riot”. If a half-million people had wanted to come for her, they could have. But all they wanted to do was express their opinion, something which is now officially forbidden.

She should be concerned. It seems that with every breath, AOC tells another lie. What is she going to when she NEEDS the truth? Like when she is buying shoes. If you lie about your shoe size, you won’t be very comfortable walking barefoot in the snow. Her lies are obvious. Nothing she says or has said is worth the spit she used to get it out. She is a fraud. She should be treated as such.

She was at the Capitol about as much as the Twin Towers almost fell on Chelsea Clinton who was across town.

Well......at least we we’re blessed with ONE day (yesterday) not hearing about that idiot’s fake drama story.

So now it’s back to AOC’s fear and PTSD.......

Unfortunately not. But I did run it through my Jonny Quest decoder ring. Here’s what I got: “I’m drinkin’ rum and Coca-Cola...workin’ for the Yankee dollar.”

Evidently AOC likes to quote the Andrew Sisters. Who knew?

This bug-eyed loon should quit Congress and go into acting.

She’s very much into theatrics. A drama queen.

She is a liar and a false accuser. Who is the father of liars? Satan himself.

“John 8:44 (KJV)
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

Someone here posted that she is a performance artist. Well she isn’t intelligent enough to write her scripts, so perhaps she is just an actor on a stage. But it does not change the fact - AOC is a Liar and the worst kind, a False Accuser. Mostly men want to think it’s forgiven because they think she’s cute, but they fail to see the interior which is rotted.
