Ocasio-Cortez says 'I didn't think I was just going to be killed' during Capitol riot

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in an interview with CNN that aired Monday evening said she had fears of being raped during the Jan. 6 insurrection in which she recounted people banging on her office doors while she hid.

"I didn't think that I was just going to be killed," Ocasio-Cortez told CNN anchor Dana Bash. "I thought other things were going to happen to me as well."

The New York Democrat said that "white supremacy and patriarchy are very linked in a lot of ways," and remarked on what she sees are the sexualization that violence.

When asked by Bash to clarify if she was worried that she would be raped during the storming of the Capitol, Ocasio-Cortez responded, "Yeah, yeah, I thought I was."

The congresswoman, a survivor of sexual assault, noted the "misogyny and the racism" that "animated" the events of Jan. 6 triggered similar trauma.

About a month after the insurrection, Ocasio-Cortez revealed her past assault in an emotional Instagram live, during which she recounted her experience of hiding in her office during the attack as a man repeatedly yelled, "Where is she?"

"I haven’t told many people that in my life," Ocasio-Cortez said after sharing her survivor status. "But when we go through trauma, trauma compounds on each other."

Maybe some of Cortez’s Antifa buddies would like to rape her, but I can think of no Conservatives who would touch her with a 10’ pole.

She reminds me of the stupid mules Grandpa used to farm with. Stupid beyond description. Grandpa grew popcorn. One hot August day it was so hot the corn started popping. The mules thought it was snow and froze to death.

“She wasn’t even in the building. My Lord is she an attention whore.”

Not only was she not even in the building that day, I doubt her sexual assault story.

Attention whore

Democats, the male politicians fantasize about raping, the female politicians about being raped.

Sick, sick people.

The world spins around her and her alone. That’s a lot of pressure; no wonder she’s lost her mind.

Must be her sexual fantasy, to be assaulted during a riot.

She was two blocks away behind an army of police and steel doors. Dear Cosmos, I thought these letters were fake...

She is the only one in Congress who can trample Schumer to get to a microphone.
