The story on WaPo said that later AOC and Katie Porter were eating dinner in Ayanna Pressley’s office recounting what the fuck just happened and I can’t imagine what that dinner conversation was like.
The voice yelling, “Where is she?” turned out to be a Capitol police officer, but she wasn’t sure at the time because he was unaccompanied and seemed hostile.
And Fuckface Trump tweeted upon seeing this: “I love Texas”.
Me too! God I love Katie Porter. If she isn’t President in my lifetime I will die very disappointed. Her retelling this story was necessary, just for the assholes who didn’t believe how terrified AOC is.
I realize this is hyperbole, but............ don’t? As a leftie in Missouri who only has liberal or Democrat friends and family, the “we’re better than red states” attitude is tiresome. We elected Hawley *AND* Cori Bush. If your state is blue it’s most likely just because there are more city people than rural people.
That... makes no sense. Bomb Texas and you’re bombing a hugely Latino state that’s been fucked by gerrymandering. This is the type of shit people would’ve said about Georgia at one point, and look at Georgie now.
Remember, when the Trump pickup truck brigade in Texas deliberately ran a Biden Campaign bus off the highway and all the local sheriffs had reasons not to help or even find the assailants?
I’d like to hear from Rep. Jackie Speier. She was almost killed by the insane followers of a delusional, power-hungry cult leader well before 2021. How did DC compare to Guyana?
Oh fucking gross I’d forgotten about the one acting like he was kissy facing the cutout as well.
and what really pisses me off?
I broke down this morning reading a transcript of what she’d said. Things are so fucking broken when people need to plead for others to believe their trauma by ripping their wounds open publicly, and you know she won’t be believed by so many people. Just like the Parkland kids/parents who have to keep reliving things…
This is 45% of the USA public and particularly TEAM MITCH (from my home state); terrorize and pretend to harm mouthy POC women for freedom:
I was gonna say, between this video and the admission that she was sexually assaulted, the Cult 45/incel team is going to be wallowing in AOC trauma the way a dog rolls around in a dead animal it found on the street.
why haven’t we seen the internal surveillance videos of whoever led the insurrectionists on those “tours” of the Capitol building the day before the riots?
I watched this live last night and it was intense and emotional listening to her recount. I can’t imagine some of the details she’s leaving out (she said as much, referencing “I’m not sure what all I can say yet”). I’m glad she’s “okay” in the sense that she is with us and didn’t seem to be physically harmed but I am…
I remember seeing a story here a couple of years ago (?) showing a bunch of young white bros at one of their hate rallies posing with a cardboard cutout of AOC. One of them had his hand at the cutout’s throat in the classic porn style choke hold.
I wouldn’t, not because I like him, but because I’m not sure we would be living a better post riot USA.
Katie Porter and AOC are probably my two favorite people in congress and knowing they're friends makes me almost as happy as watching either of them tear down some idiot witness they bring on the floor of the house.
The 6. January could have gone a very different way. We all know what would have happened if those rioters would have met AOC, Pence or Pelosi on their way.
