Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said during an interview conducted on Thursday evening that the reason she didn’t attend the inauguration of President Joe Biden was because she doesn’t “feel safe” around Republicans.

That’s funny. Most of our checkbooks don’t feel too comfortable around her and her leftist buddies either.

“You knew that people would ask why you weren’t there,” CNN host Chris Cuomo said. “This was a good cause, from your perspective, of dealing with your constituency. But this was supposed to be a show of force, and unity, and you weren’t there. Explain it.”
“Yeah, you know, I think we also had very real security concerns as well, as you mentioned earlier,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We still don’t yet feel safe around other Members of Congress and—”

“How many are ‘We?’” Cuomo pressed.

“I think a very considerable amount,” Ocasio-Cortez answered. “A lot of members do not feel safe. In fact, just today–”
“You really think that colleagues of yours in Congress, may do you dirty?” Cuomo asked the New York congresswoman.

“Yes, well, one just tried to bring a gun on the floor of the House today,” AOC replied. “I believe it was Representative Andy Harris of Maryland. He tried to bring in a gun on to the House floor. For individuals who don’t know, guns are not allowed in the District of Columbia. And certainly the House floor is, there are separate House rules that prohibit the bringing in of firearms. Now, these are rules that date back to the Civil War. And these are individuals that are trying to sneak firearms either illegally or in direct violation of House rules. Why does a member of Congress need to sneak a gun on to the House floor?”

Is it just me or does AOC try and make every single thing in existence somehow about her and her feelings?

She’s obviously trying to push a narrative of fear against her Republican colleagues. It’s obnoxious and just plain silly. Average members of the GOP do not pose any risk to her.

I would have put a laughing face and said good if I thought she was telling the truth and really scared. She is just trying to destroy the republican party, which they do not need any help, they already did it.

Yes this is what It means to be a Progressive Liberal.

People need to understand the intellect of Progressive Liberals is tiny compared to what they think, but their ability to fixate on their emotions and their perceived importance of those emotions cannot be matched.

many, many people were almost MURDERED there and she has trauma. she has so much trauma from what happened and happened to her personally. she doesn't even know if she can talk about it for security reasons.

if you think i am exaggerating what she said, i am not.


if you can stomach it, here is the interview. it is about 20 min

warning: it very well may cause explosive regurgical pyrotechnics

IMO- She is IRRATIONAL, Demented if you prefer, mentally ill, but mentally ill with GOVERNMENT POWER AND AUTHORITY of a Congressman and should be disqualified from Serving /participating in CongressIonal votes and proceedings until she is “healed”. She needs a long rest.

There is nothing wrong with AOC. This is an act. An act to justify the othering of you. An act leading to genocide. She’s programming leftists to be ok with killing Americans. She doesn’t need mental help, she doesn’t need a rest. This is the narrative to murder of millions of Americans.

AOC said “for those that don’t know...” BUT AOC is the one who is dosnt know the laws about firearms on Capital grounds. Read it and weep AOC.
Newly elected Rep. Boebert asks about carrying a gun on Capitol grounds


The Republican from western Colorado carries a Glock on her hip.

Nov. 24, 2020, 4:12 AM PST / Updated Nov. 24, 2020, 4:29 AM PST
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A firearms-toting congresswoman-elect who owns a gun-themed restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, has already asked Capitol Police about carrying her weapon on Capitol grounds, her office has acknowledged. If she does so, she apparently won’t be alone.
The practice is allowed for lawmakers, with some limitations, under decades-old congressional regulations. The public is barred from carrying weapons in the Capitol, its grounds and office buildings.

Republican Lauren Boebert, 33, was elected this month from a conservative western Colorado district after gaining notice as a brash pro-gun activist who straps a Glock pistol to her hip. In an upset last June, she defeated five-term Rep. Scott Tipton for the GOP nomination, in part by claiming he wasn’t an ardent enough backer of President Donald Trump.
Boebert asked Capitol Police officials about carrying her weapon when she and other House freshmen taking office in January were in town recently for orientation programs, according to two congressional officials. Both people — a Democrat and a Republican — spoke on condition of anonymity to describe her request.

Aides to Boebert, who Trump endorsed as “a fighter” who will “never bow down to the establishment in Congress,” did not make her available for an interview.
“This was a private discussion and inquiry about what the rules are, and as a result the Congresswoman-Elect won’t be going on the record,” Boebert aide Laura Carno said in an email last week.
The inquiries by Boebert, who runs Shooters Grill, come as guns remain a passionate issue for both parties, fueled by images of demonstrations by armed Trump supporters, conservative pushes to ease state gun restrictions and recent years’ mass shootings.
Even so, prospects for significantly changing federal gun laws seem scant as a new, narrowly divided Congress takes office in January alongside President-elect Joe Biden.
Capitol Police spokeswoman Eva Malecki did not respond to a reporter’s questions about the department’s communications with Boebert and the number of lawmakers who carry firearms.
The agency’s officials did not answer directly when Democrats on the House Committee on Administration asked in 2018 how many lawmakers carry firearms in the Capitol. The officials said in a written response that they’ve “been made aware” of inquiries about carrying weapons.
“There is no standing requirement” that lawmakers notify them when they carry a firearm in the Capitol, the officials wrote. Regulations require safe storage of weapons, but “that responsibility resides with the Member,” they said.
A 1967 regulation says no federal or District of Columbia laws restricting firearms “shall prohibit any Member of Congress from maintaining firearms within the confines of his office” or “from transporting within Capitol grounds firearms unloaded and securely wrapped.”
Lawmakers may not bring weapons into the House chamber and other nearby areas, the regulations say, according to a letter Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., wrote in 2018. Aides can carry lawmakers’ weapons for them on the Capitol complex, he wrote.
In his letter to House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving, Huffman summarized the regulations after being briefed on them by Irving. An opponent of letting members of Congress carry guns on Capitol grounds, Huffman abandoned a 2018 effort to halt the practice due to colleagues’ strong opposition and said in an interview that he wouldn’t try again this year due to continued resistance

I "think" I figured this out. :idea:

Besides have thousands of military protection, since there weren't many minority Republicans there to begin with, maybe Cortez meant her real fear was from some DINOS as in, Democrats In Name Only (aka/Republicans) even if those "aka/Republicans" were RINOS. That being said, NONE of them were official CBAINOS, (Communist But American In Name Only) and only then would she feel safe. :D

Hmmm. Nevermind. I give up trying to figure it out. They're ALL nuts and Cortez is their QUEEN! :jstr:

This kind of “act/behavior/speech “ IS MANIFEST INSANITY.
Not smart to try to convince people if you talk like a raving madman or /insane woman.

One thing for certain this creature appears to be an absolute brainless lunatic.

But I have a twist to this conventional logic. That is she is probably of average intelligence. It appears this thing has lots of followers, and I'm guessing they are the brain dead hard left. Her handlers are well aware of this, and for her to connect to this lot she has to do exactly what she's doing.

In the case of this thread's topic, the hard left wants Trump supporters put in re-ed camps, killed, put on lists, you name it. Primarily because they fear Trump supporters as they outvoted the built in corruption of Dominion voting machines so a time out had to be called to haul in more fake votes.

The point I'm trying to make is she has to identify with her crowd by showing she fears Republicans. She's in effect talking to her base, rallying them every time she says something that is batshit crazy, because her crowd is exactly that.

It's a fine art...

AOC was just afraid someone would shit in their hand and throw it at her. That's her personal definition of political discourse.
