Wow. The Associated Press just obliterated false claims made by Trumpers on social media.
Trumpers claimed she said she was in the Capitol building (She never said that):
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Ocasio-Cortez never claimed she was in the main Capitol building, nor did she claim she was face-to-face with a mob of violent rioters. In an Instagram Live video about the riots, she explained that she was in her office in a neighboring building on the Capitol complex, where she experienced a frightening encounter with a Capitol police officer who she said didn’t announce himself.
Then, they said she claimed she encountered rioters (She didn't say that).
Ocasio-Cortez also never claimed she encountered rioters personally, despite false posts claiming she did.
AP also concluded The Trumpers also lied about the Capitol building being the only intended target:
Those tunnels were mentioned in some earlier communications between militia members charged in the insurrection, suggesting rioters planned to use them to attack members of Congress.

She claimed her life was in danger, and gave the account of a scary man banging on her door and yelling “where is she?”

It was a policeman there to protect her.
 
AP is least biased and very high factual rating.

According to Pravda...

A policeman who did not identify himself as such.

She was hiding from a murderous mob. She was a TARGET of these fucking bastards and KNEW it. Of COURSE she thought that it was the Mob looking for her.
 
Let's think for a moment. The QOP organized and implemented the Capitol attack on January 6th. Senators and Congress people from both parties were targeted...Why? Because the Liar in Chief had been pushing his Big Lie for months and had his cult lathering with hate and violence. AOC knew they were coming after her. She knew someone was running up and down the hall banging on doors. She had every reason to fear for her life.

Speaking from personal experience, it is even frightening to take part in similar terrorist exercises. How much more frightening was it to know there were people in a near by building that were intent on capturing and/or killing you.

You people who are downplaying the terror that she must have felt are the same people who were cheering the insurgents to succeed in their government overthrow.
 
LOL, I'm not sure why Progs are so consumed with protecting this liar.
Cons won't quote AOC saying she was in the Capitol Building. Nor do they want to talk about the terrorists targeting other buildings.
You ate crow, indeed.

Wait a sec....Thought it was all from his "inciting" speech, that had only just begun when the barricades were removed by Capitol Police and the people freely allowed to enter the building?

Didn't think those goalposts were going to move themselves.
