Ocasio-Cortez Says She Feared For Her Life In Capitol Riot 'Close Encounter'
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in an Instagram Live on Tuesday that she had a “close encounter” that led her to fear she was “going to die” on the day of the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week. She feared “QAnon and white supremacist sympathizers” in Congress could “create opportunities to allow me to be hurt, kidnapped, etc.” Rep. Lauren Boebert, a QAnon supporter, has faced widespread condemnation for tweeting about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s location during the violence. And Rep. Mikie Sherrill alleged during a Facebook Live on Tuesday night that she witnessed some of her congressional colleagues leading people through the Capitol the day before the riots in what she termed “a reconnaissance.” Describing the Capitol insurrection, @AOC says she “didn’t even feel safe around other members of Congress”: “There were QAnon. As for the slew of Trump administration officials who resigned in the wake of the insurrection, Ocasio-Cortez said it was “too late” and slammed them for their failure to instead invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.
