WASHINGTON — The assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is sending shock waves through Capitol Hill, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle expressing fears for their own safety and taking greater security precautions following a summer of political violence.

Members are beefing up their security, moving public events indoors or canceling them altogether. One is even vowing to carry firearms.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., the progressive star who has faced numerous death threats over the years, said Thursday she had postponed two public events planned for this weekend in North Carolina, including a rally in Raleigh set for Sunday.

“From the moment I was elected, I have felt that I accept a certain level of risk in doing this job,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters. But she added that security protocols for members of Congress are “for a bygone time. … They’re not designed for a digital threat environment era.”

Other lawmakers are saying they won’t hold any large town halls or public events — just small, private events.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who is running for governor in South Carolina, said she is canceling all outdoor and public events for the foreseeable future, including an upcoming speaking gig on a college campus.

An outspoken critic of transgender people and accommodations for them, Mace said she’s been experiencing an uptick in violent threats since a recent floor spat she had with a House Democrat and has requested additional protection from the Capitol Police and House sergeant at arms. Since Kirk's assassination, Mace said, she also got local police to patrol her district office and plans to start carrying a firearm wherever she can.

“I will have a firearm on my person all the time, and I will have security,” Mace told reporters outside the Capitol.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., who has faced death threats in the past, said that earlier this year he ramped up his security and stopped holding outdoor events.

“People are scared to death in this building. I mean, not many of them will say it publicly, but they’re running to the speaker talking about security, and that’s a lot of Republicans in there. People are scared, really scared,” he said.

They be skeered? Good! The only way anything changes is when congress must live as the common man. When the government fears the people, you have freedom. It's not lost upon me that the same people who want to disarm the common man from defending themselves wants their own security on the taxpayers dime.

If these professional leeches were actually doing their ******* jobs, we would not be in a situation where political violence is common, and getting more common every day.
They should be afraid.

Lawmakers like AOC invite the possibility of assassination with their vitriol. It is way past time to lower the temperature.

They should close of DC altogether from the public and live the rest of their lives behind barbed wire.

It's the world they created and really the world they want.

After all, don't they want to be protected from all their Nazi political opponents of the DNC?

I would think so.

Repub MAGAs are in danger - from murderous liberals

But a lib ***** like AOC is safe

January 6th was about as scared as they have ever been, which is why they shot dead an unarmed woman

 

[LordBrownTrout]

We are a nation in ruin. What should we expect when we kick Jesus out of the land and tell our kids that its ok to cut your pecker off and pretend you're a woman, that this behavior is ok, that its ok to snort coke, do drugs, no repercussions and this is all freedom? This is the bed, these are our rancid fruits coming home, that we now live in.

I betcha that today’s college students couldn’t name the title. But they know all about “evil oppressors” and white man bad.

I guess when you have this kind of rhetoric we shouldn't be surprised of the outcome:

Wealthy Liberal Activists Urge Dem Lawmakers to 'Take a Bullet' to Stop Trump​

Some of the loudest voices on the far left are reportedly taking a disturbing turn, with wealthy liberals telling elected Democrats they should be willing to “get shot” if that’s what it takes to stop President Donald Trump. This radical rhetoric, coming from those who claim to champion peace and progress, exposes a deep hypocrisy and desperation within elite liberal circles.

Stolen or wasted $28T since 09?' now they are scared? USAID or bogus SS# or 20 million thru open borders as they lived an unimaginable life of excesses? Slow lazy and corrupted. They only act when forced perhaps?

Congress....People here are scared to death​

Oh sure, sure. The MAGA critters are scared, all right. They are terrified at having to face their consituents and defend Dear Leader's lies, scandals, and totalitarianism and their cowardly part in allowing him to usurp their power.

They are using Charlie Kirk's death as cover for their pusillanimity.
