NEW YORK (VINnews) — New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has made significant hype from the ordeal she suffered during the breaching of the Capitol building on January 6th. In a video viewed over 6 million times, Ocasio-Cortez describes her “near-death experience” as she hid in a bathroom after her legislative director Geraldo Bonilla-Chavez told her to “hide, hide, run and hide,” while rioters in a room nearby allegedly said “where is she?” Newsweek claimed that Ocasio-Cortez felt she was “about to be assassinated.”

Moreover when a policeman came to assist Ocasio-Cortez, she claimed in a separate clip that he “didn’t feel right” and that he was looking at her “in all of this anger and hostility.” Ocasio-Cortez claimed that the situation was “aggressive” and even her staffer thought he might have to fight the officer. She added that the officer said with urgency “go down and go to this building,” citing the name of the building.

However the facts are far from the melodramatic description of Ocasio-Cortez. It turns out that she was not even in the vicinity of the Capitol during the course of the assault on the building. She was actually in the nearby Cannon building which no insurgents ever reached and there was therefore no point at which Ocasio-Cortez was in physical danger.
Rep. Nancy Mace, (R-SC) who has an office adjacent to that of Ocasio-Cortez, says that the building had been briefly evacuated during the day while police where checking on a suspicious package nearby. Thus, Ocasio-Cortez’s “near-death experience” can be summed up as an overreaction upon seeing a Capitol police officer directing her to another building, the Longworth building. Instead of thanking the officer for doing his duty, she tries to paint him as someone to be afraid of. The officer was evidently focused on getting people out quickly and therefore spoke vehemently, but the truth is still far from what Ocasio-Cortez described in her clips.
Anyone shocked that his drama queen lied about her experiences?
So she’s vilifying the people protecting her. Isn’t that what liberals did all summer? Calling to defund the police?
im waiting for twitter to censor her for spreading false information
Now matter where she is: she isnt all there
Why isn’t this front page news?
It is part of the entertainment business model and headlong cash grab of the media to give any credence or airtime to this abominable cretin of dubious cortex processing.
Wherever she is ; she isnt all there
this treasonous anti-American DemonRat, not only looks like a rabies infected sewer rat but also acts like one, and much more dangerous
She is a horrid creature who lies endlessly. She has demented views. She is a filthbag black anti.semite and should and WILL be thrown out of USA.
This is why so many yids leave the community, you all are crazy and need help. If I could eye roll via text I would. And to think we use to be “the light of the world”. We’ve become the butt of every joke because you all are so easily lead by the nose that you can’t see how toxic things have gotten.
The day before when she was leaving the capitol she was stalked to her car and her car was surrounded. She gets threats all the time and is referred to in the most demeaning way. You would be happier if she was hurt? No she is not vilifying people who were protecting her. It would have been nice if the person would have identified himself.
sounds like every 7th grade rebbi ever, imanu hayisem in Chicago. lolol
VIN News is once again acting as a propaganda outfit for right-wing rabble-rousers. Last month VIN news falsely ran a story that Antifa was behind the capital rights and today VIN news discounts AOC experience during the riots. The Cannon building is connected to the Capitol. She barricaded herself in the office of Rep, Katie Porter for 6 hours. Ms. Porter testified to this. By all means, call out AOC when she deserves it but stop spreading lies and hatred.
Wring it is a large complex, rioters were all over. She has done nothing to all of you and you constantly spee you hate onto her. Why don’t you do a piece how Fox inc argues in lawsuits any reasonble person could bot take what tucker carlson says seriously.
This is a bad faith attack and is nonsensical. It takes advantage of people’s lack of understanding of the layout of the capitol.

Ocasio-Cortez never claimed she was in the main building. She said was inside her office, which is in just one of the network of buildings containing congressional offices that comprise the Capitol complex. The office buildings and the main Capitol building are interconnected by a series of tunnels known as the Capitol Subway System, which allows members of Congress to traverse underground from their offices to their respective chambers.
Ocasio-Cortez’s building, Cannon House, is across Independence Avenue from the Capitol and was one of the buildings evacuated:
Many Capitol Police and other law enforcement stopped doing their duty and were escorting the rioters around after they overtook the Capitol Building. Many were not protecting congress. She was right to be afraid of them.
