You saw those nutcases, you know that some of them were armed, that they had brought ziptie handcuffs with them to take hostages, and that some of them had built a gallows outside the Capitol.
You also certainly know that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a poster child for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, even though she doesn’t really have much influence, and that she is perceived as a “Communist” by the hard-core Trumpists.
She had every reason in the world to fear what these people might do to her if they got their hands on her. And she has every right to speak up about how she felt at the time.
I’m not a fan of her politics, but she is a lawfully elected member of the House of Representatives and she serves in accordance with the Constitution and the institutions of our Republic. If only those people who stormed the Capitol had even one percent of the same respect, we’d have been spared a massive amount of embarrassment as a country and a police officer doing his duty wouldn’t be dead.
She’s not posturing. For once, listen to what AOC is saying. Even if you think she’s full of what comes out the south end of a northbound horse, she had every reason to be afraid last Wednesday—and something like this can never, EVER be allowed to happen again.
