Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the January 6th MAGA riot at the US Capitol 'an all-out attempted coup' and indicated her colleagues in the House were too scared to talk about it.

The Democratic Congresswoman from New York said the day was an 'extraordinarily traumatizing event' and said it has affected relationships among members of Congress.

'It has deeply, deeply affected lawmaking, policy making and it's very quiet, it's not spoken about,' she told journalist Maria Hinojosa in an interview airing Friday on the weekly public radio show 'Latino USA' and shared in advance with NBC News.

[a fool in paradise]

Drama queen is a lousy actress.

[bk1000]

They aren’t too scared to agree with her. They are just becoming aware she is a moron.

[1Old Pro]

Was she dressed in White crying next to a fence bordering a parking lot?

[Reno89519]

Too scared? Nah, they are embarrassed at it being called a riot and that the agitators were Democrats.

AOC thinks a coup is a dove talking.

[Chainmail]

Huh. Wow, coup? And we forgot to bring rifles!

[Lurkinanloomin]

The most enlightening thing she could aspire to accomplish in Congress is to lift her shirt.

[Da Coyote]

That ignorant s**t would lose a debate with an answering machine. And an IQ test vs a flashlight. The depths of stupidity start with “AOC” at the bottom of the list.

[marktwain]

It was used as part of a successful coup... by the Democrats.

[Chode]

[Responsibility2nd]

The first coup in history to be carried out without weapons?

Yeah. Right.

The only thing in AOC’s head are her horse teeth.

[Sacajaweau]

400 people take over the USA government. There were bigger riots all over the country...burning, killings...destruction...and they were “rightful”?

[butlerweave]

If it was a Coup you would be dead or in prison

[Vendome]

Yeah FO

You said nothing when they sieged the White House last year.

[Joe Brower]

[Alcibiades]

An “all-out attempted Coup” would have had considerably more bloodshed. Jan 6 had less than your average BLM March and certainly less than a summer weekend in Chicago.

Also I thought she loved all those tinpot dictators who used coups to take over their third-world countries.

[Durbin]

Maybe she should get her photo taken pretending to cry in front of the fence surrounding the capitol building.

Lexi, you’re talking crazy again. Come back to bed.
