AOC: ‘I thought I was going to die’ in Capitol siege
ep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she feared “white supremacist” colleagues would put her in harm’s way during the siege of the Capitol and other House Democrats suggested the rioters had inside help from members of Congress.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said she thought she was going to die at one point and that it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that many members of the House were nearly assassinated.
She didn’t feel safe going to an “extraction point” because of “QAnon and white supremacist sympathizers,” she said.
“And, frankly, white supremacist members of Congress in that extraction point who I know and who I have felt would disclose my location, who would create opportunities to allow me to be hurt, kidnapped etcetera,” the New York Democrat said this week on Instagram Live. “And so I didn’t even feel safe around other members of Congress.”
Her office did not respond to questions on which members she was referring to or whether she’s referred her complaints to law enforcement.
