Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is, once again, firing back at her GOP critics.
On Wednesday, the New York congresswoman returned to Twitter to address the allegations that she had lied about her experience during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. AOC recently opened up about the trauma of the deadly siege, recalling having to hide in her office bathroom as she heard a man—who turned out to be a Capitol officer, repeatedly scream, “Where is she?”
“I just thought to myself that they got inside,” she said during the emotional live stream. “I really just felt like, if this is the plan for me, then people will be able to take it from here … I thought I was going to die.”
Shortly after the stream, far-right figures began accusing AOC of exaggerating her experience during the Capitol riot. Conservative news outlet RedState published a piece titled AOC Wasn’t Even in the Capitol Building During Her ‘Near Death’ Experience, which was reshared by OANN personality/conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec.
AOC responded to Posobiec’s tweet and the article, calling it a “manipulative take” that intentionally failed to tell the whole story.

The democrats are becoming good at being lying drama queens. Take Richard Blumenthal with his Vietnam heroics or Hillary Clinton landing in Bosnia in the midst of live gunfire. Joe Biden is a priviliged WHITE draft dodger, so he can’t brag about anything. A real worthless loser.
LOL Posobiec is an even bigger liar than AOC. He has zero credibility on anything. Oh and he promotes neo-Nazis.
Is Posobiec a member of Congress? I must of missed that election.
Don’t EVER confront a politician with evidence.
She probably felt that had she been at the Capitol, THEN she possibly would have been attacked. Joe Biden felt the same way about his “arrest” in South Africa. Had he been there, he would possibly have acted in a way that would have caused his arrest, maybe.
That’s like some of our people who are mitztaer that they aren’t mitztaer, excusing themselves from a mitzva deorayso.
