Rep. Ocasio-Cortez calls Jan. 6 a ‘trial run’

During a town hall meeting in New York, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) warned that the events that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021 were a “trial run.”

“If we lose the House, this is no joke, Jan. 6 was a trial run. Now, a lot of people don’t seem to understand that. It was a trial run,” the New York progressive said this week.

“And they’re going to come back and they win the House – here’s the thing, the technicality of what happened on Jan. 6, the only reason it wasn’t worse was because Democrats had the House and they didn’t have the votes in the House,” she continued referring to Republicans.

She warned that if Republicans retake the majority in the House in November midterms, “then they have the votes to not authorize and legitimize the presidential election, whatever the results are,” adding it was “very serious.”

A spokesperson for Ocasio-Cortez told The Hill that the congresswoman’s remarks regarding the “trial run” were meant about overthrowing the election results.

During an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash last year, Ocasio-Cortez expressed her concerns over what she believed could have happened to her during the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, in which a mob of former President Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol and sought to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election.

“I didn’t think that I was just going to be killed,” Ocasio-Cortez told Bash. “I thought other things were going to happen to me as well.”

Didn’t we hear that on that date, she was not in the Capitol, but was in her office a mile away? Which begs questions about how was it she felt she was in danger of being killed when she was not there?

Blm and antifa were murdering people, setting cities on fire and looting. They encouraged it and didn’t do anything to the people guilty of it. I wish they would deport that retard.

The Republicans said Trump should back off and it was important for them to protest.

FAUCI thought BLM Riots were more important than Social Distaning.

From a bartender to a self appointed expert in law enforcement, atmospheric physics, foreign affairs, race, and now psychology. That must have been one hell of a bar.

...this is no joke...

True, keeping people locked up for over a year is not fulfilling "the right to a speedy trial". So what's being done to them by you Democrats is a travesty and a denial of their legal rights. What is a joke is you in general and your spin on this topic in particular.

A false flag for the progressives to frame patriotic Americans.
