Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she had a 'close encounter' during the Capitol riot and 'thought I was going to die'

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is speaking out about her "traumatizing" experience at the Capitol building during last week's deadly pro-Trump riot, revealing a "very close encounter" made her fear for her life.

The New York lawmaker spoke on Instagram about what she described as a "traumatizing week for so many people" after a mob of President Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol building in a riot that left five people dead. She referenced a "close encounter" she had during the riot, one she said she couldn't provide further details on for security reasons.

"I had a pretty traumatizing event happen to me," she said. "And I do not know if I can even disclose the full details of that event due to security concerns, but I can tell you that I had a very close encounter where I thought I was going to die. ... I did not know if I was going to make it to the end of that day alive. And not just in a general sense, but also in a very, very specific sense."

Ocasio-Cortez told viewers that it "is not an exaggeration to say that many, many members of the House were nearly assassinated" during the riot, and lawmakers were "very lucky that things happened within certain minutes" so they weren't harmed.

"But many of us nearly and narrowly escaped death," Ocasio-Cortez added.

She also described having feared, after being taken to a secure location with other lawmakers, that certain "white supremacist members of Congress" would "disclose my location" and "create opportunities to allow me to be hurt" or "kidnapped."

Oh, please!

She is not a new voice, but just an opportunist who is ready to keep perpetuating the cycle of corruption that has caused people to vote for Trump. And the same can be said about the rest of the Justice Democrats.

Yes, there were a few people who didn't go into the Capitol with good intentions, and that is why Brian Sidnick died. However, the vast majority of them were there to stupidly vent their anger, without any direction or purpose. The only thing that this repulsive sow is trying to do is ensure that the tech oligarchs of Silicon valley will silence anyone she doesn't agree with, as well as all of her detractors.

Disgusting liar, demagogue and prestidigitator. Instead of Tweeting all day long and posting ridiculous Instagram stories where she says exactly the opposite of what she does, she should get to work and stop kissing Nancy Pelosi's behind.

OMG, R55! That is VIOLENCE!!!

However, the fact that this evil bitch (there you have a little more violence) campaigned on medicare for all and the de-escalation of war, protecting the poor and creating a fairer society, and has then voted for the largest upward transfer of wealth in history, increasing army budgets, giving next-to-nothing to people in need and leaving people who don't have health coverage to die, is perfectly fine and dandy, isn't it? 70,000 people die every year in the US because they don't have access to healthcare and yet, when grassroots activists demanded that she force a vote on medicare for all, she started saying that "these people are not accredited activists" (I didn't know that there was an Activist Accreditation Organism that handed out membership cards), and started a defamation campaign against them.

Also, when this evil sow gaslights everyone by claiming she wants the opposite of what she does, isn't that violence? Also, when Rashida Tlaib and this narcissist call Orange Bowl "a motherfucker", that is not an insult? And I am not a fan of Trump, but since when did these people become the moral arbiters of America? Who has given them the authority to decide who deserves and who doesn't deserve to be insulted under any circumstances?

Because when the safe rooms become a necessity, the shit has hit the fan already. They aren’t about to ask party affiliations before huddling people in a ‘safe room.’ Picture that bullshit: “Oh, you’re a Democrat? Sorry, this area of safety isn’t for you, only repigs. What you want to do is go all the way down this hall here, make a left, then a quick right....”

Are you serious?

[quote]They should have been sequestered and protected by party affiliation, specifically because the Republican traitors were telling the insurrectionists where to go!!!

And who the hell would've even THOUGHT of something like that beforehand? Besides, if they were in the same room, maybe it would actually help. At least we know if they had weapons they wouldn’t have mowed down the whole room. Also, if I am someone giving locations to the rioters, am I really going to give my location too?

When you’re dealing with an emergency of any kind, time is of the essence. Can you imagine the heads we would be calling for if the repigs told democrats they couldn’t come in their safe room? Worse if one of them got hurt or even killed because they wouldn’t let them in?!

Say there was an attack on the White House and there were Dems there to meet with trump. Does Trump say, “sorry, this bunker is only for repigs. Go find safety outside of this house because these safety protocols are only for one party.”

R74, are you not paying attention or are you just willfully ignorant? Or worse, are you attempting to sow diinformation?

There were members of Congress who felt extremely unsafe being locked up with some of there colleagues because those colleagues 1) are known white supremacists and/or Q nuts, 2) are known to carry weapons within the Capitol, 3) have a history of being openly hostile, and 4) refused to wear a mask inside the safe room to the point of being belligerent and even mocking those members who urged them to wear a mask. These are the same colleagues who were tweeting and live streaming the locations of known political targets. That is why AOC and other members of Congress preferred to fend for themselves rather than be locked up with these internal Trump allies.

They could’ve fended for themselves. No one was “forced” into a room. In fact, some were “stuck” in the chambers balcony. Some returned to their offices, which was how Pressley found out her panic alarm had been ripped out.

You’re in an emergency situation. Nobody has time to sit and check who is affiliated with what party! Talk about willfully ignorant. Did you see the video of them going to the members in the chambers and saying “protestors are in the building”?

Now you expect these police officers, before ushering people to the safest location with the shortest distance from where they’re standing at that time to ask party affiliations so they can split them up like grade schoolers at a fucking fire drill?!

Exactly how many safe rooms do you think exist, anyway?

You’d be singing a different tune if, say, AOC was injured because she wasn’t allowed into that specific safe room, but had to go elsewhere due to her party affiliation only.

This is from the Washington Post today. There's LOTS of video footage that we haven't seen, including the Capitol security cameras.

"House Democrats have sought out new cellphone footage of the Capitol siege as well as updated details about injured police officers as they seek to build an emotionally compelling impeachment case against former president Donald Trump. The goal is to present the Senate with fresh evidence that reveals what Trump knew in advance of the Jan. 6 rampage at the Capitol, as well as how his words and actions influenced those who participated. The rioting left five dead, including one member of the U.S. Capitol Police. In addition, two officers, one with the D.C. Police Department, have since died by suicide. The effort to present new video evidence and witness testimony appears designed to make Republican senators as uncomfortable as possible as they prepare to vote to acquit Trump, as most have indicated they will do. The prospect of injured police officers describing the brutality of pro-Trump rioters to Republicans who regularly present themselves as advocates of law enforcement could make for an extraordinary, nationally televised scene."

Always On Camera is really working the "Woman in Peril" drama a bit, huh?

Does she do much other than get all sassy on Twitter?

You're just jealous because she's smarter and prettier than you R97 but I'm guessing most everyone is smarter and prettier than you.
