Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recounts her experience during the Capitol siege: 'I thought I was going to die'

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., walks up the House steps for a vote in the Capitol on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2020.In an Instagram Live on Monday night, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez talked about her traumatizing experience seeking safety in the Capitol buildings during the January 6 insurrection.

Ocasio-Cortez said the officer hadn't identified himself as police when he'd been banging on the door and was unaccompanied. And she said he didn't tell them where specifically they needed to go in the other building or to bring the safety equipment stored in each congressional office. "We start hearing the yells of these people … and it just feels like it's a matter of seconds when these doors are going to break through and they're going to get in," she said of hearing the mob outside the building.

The two congresswomen later moved to Rep. Ayanna Pressley's office, where Ocasio-Cortez stayed until around 4 am.

Every LOOSE CANON like aoc feels like they are target but guess what?! They didn’t even see her!

Politics is nothing but theater!And there's noone more dramatic in CONGRESS than CONGRESSWOMAN CORTEZ.She probably thinks she's on broadway playing a politician... DRAMA QUEEN!

Let the record show that she wasn't worried about getting gang raped

Oh boy.

I bet it was a real Mussolini moment.

AOC can choke on her fake tears & fake trauma. How many lives were ruined in Portland & Seattle last summer while she cheered it all on? How many blue collar lives destroyed by her anti-oil agenda while she gets 170k/yr? She perfectly embodies everything wrong in society today.

Drama Queen!!!

They need to resign? Paranoid hyperbole. Making false accusations!!

Why didn’t you? 😵😩 .. the police officers 👮🏻 protected you.. do you still want to defund them?

The only reason why she thinks she’s going to die is because she lives to poke a tolerant bear to the point where it becomes intolerant. As an observer, she’s nothing but a fly who’s eventually going to land on the wrong toad. Not if, but when.

AOC is a joke! She’s an embarrassment as a politician!

I’d move districts and vote for her if I got to hear her fart through a Walkie talkie AOC

😂😂😂 Fuckin drama queens omg

🤣🤣🤣 yeah and the outlines the level of intelligence you’re dealing with in AOC 🤣🤣🤣

When will the media call out this Karen?

You thought you were going to die, you should talk to Steve Scalise sometime...

For all the sh!t talking she's done about Lauren Boebert, who do you think all these crybaby, histrionic, hoplophobic dems would've run to that day had Lauren been in the House...that's right, a Good Gal With A Gun. 2ndAmendment ShallNotBeInfringed

AOC I thought you were a bartender in New York? Smh

Didn’t anyone give this woman toys to play with when she was little ? look at me look at me
