my my a republican has a different viewpoint...."mentally unstable" after years of support of trump and this one has the audacity to mention stability?
minorities have a good reason to fear police even if they are pretty..
So aoc recounting her experience during the insurrection is somehow invalidated bc later on, it turned out it wasn't that bad? Is that the argument?
Are you really that dense? For starters, her office wasn't even close to the heart of the action. She said it was. She has lashed out at any one else, mainly Republicans, who told her she wasn't the only one who feared for her life. If we're going to play that card, they were all in danger. Do you remember the cop that guided Pence's family in a different direction? He said in an interview that the rioters were less than 100 feet from his family. Sounds a lot more scarier than what AOC-Smollett had to deal with.
I also think it's insanely childish, and immature of her to blame Ted Cruz for what happened to her, as well as demanding that he and many others step down. And now this sexual assault story? Where was this story during her interviews for the #MeTooMovement, Kavanaugh, and any other topic that goes with it? Why are just hearing about this now?
She is a drama queen and she is dumping gasoline and lighting matches on everything she touches. Both her and "The Squad" are a cancer to Washington.

Ok. Give me the quotes where she says her office was in the thick of the action... Not the ones conveying her state of mind at the time. Not the ones conveying what she was thinking at the time. The quotes where she says her office was in the thick of the action.
You don't get to tell someone else how they're allowed to respond the unknown circumstances, and you don't get to use the fact that other people reacted differently as a bludgeon to minimize or dismiss how she processed that.
The intent of the people who stormed the Capitol stands on its own. Just b/c they couldn't actually hurt her, doesn't minimize or dismiss their intent, and that intent was fueled by the ridiculous support people like Cruz threw in to the equation. Cruz, Hawley, and everyone else who contributed to inflaming the masses by supporting the nonsense conspiracy should be held responsible.
No one owes it you or anyone else when they have to talk about their own trauma. You're exactly the type who if she had brought it up during the #MeToo movement would have tried to criticize her for jumping on the bandwagon. Your ability to say that b/c other people weren't scared or as scared of the events, her reaction is overrated pretty much confirms that's exactly the dbg move you'd pull.

Where have you been? She went live on Instagram and spoke on it, and provided her own "detailed layout" of where the attack happened, and where she was. That's exactly what prompted people to call her out on where her office is exactly located and where she was in the first place! Like are you kidding me?! Here's a link to an article with the full video she uploaded to her Instagram. All those quotes you want are in the video.

You're right, I can't. It was a crazy situation and I'm sure everyone was shook up from it. But I'm allowed to call someone out on their BS, which is what I'm doing now, as are many others. In the past week alone, AOC-Smollett has literally done everything she can to have the spotlight on her, as if no one else's life was at risk that day. She has literally lashed out at just about every Republican who tries to join in on the discussion. In her mind, you're not allowed to have any trauma if you're with the GOP. Only the Dems are allowed to be upset. She has a constant need for attention and will put on a giant show if she has to if it means she gets to be on the front page of every news paper, and the talk of social media. It reaches a point where one has to ask if it's something we should care about, or if it's a desperate cry for attention.

Again, you're spewing more BS. Those guys never incited or promoted any kind of violence. They have done nothing wrong in that situation. The people who are at fault are the idiots who thought they could storm the capital without facing any consequences. AOC is using this as a tool to try and kick Cruz out because she already can't stand the man. He extended his reach and backed her up, and offered continued support on what happened with Wall St and she shut him down like a petulant child. You're just too blind to see that because you think she can do no wrong.

I never said they did. But it's still odd that she fought for all those other moments and never brought it up until now. She has the ability to use her voice to reach the masses. If Kavanaugh bothered her so much, why didn't she use that moment to speak on her experience? Again, she has the political power to make her voice heard. She had a chance to use it and she chose not to, but had no issues acting like a broken record saying he needs to be locked up for what he did. And no, I'm not the type. You just fuel your thoughts with emotions instead of using logic and make stupid assumptions. Then again, her fan base is pretty stupid to begin with, so I'm not too shocked.
