Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been made with fierce criticisms recently. A New York Assembly candidate accused AOC of neglecting her district. He claimed she was allowing “third world” style markets in the streets, along with prostitution.
AOC has been criticized in the past for seemingly neglecting the very people she represents. It seems she is more concerned with drama in D.C.—and attacking her enemies—than doing something for New York.
Perhaps she was trying to distract from her own problems with this recent attack. She called on New York state to seize all of Trump’s assets, if he failed to pay Democrats’ exorbitant bond. The so-called socialist said the state should do it, for this wild reason.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) pushed the state of New York to seize former President Donald Trump’s assets in the state if he cannot secure an unprecedented bond while he appeals the civil fraud case against him and his company…
“… I actually think that there is risk in not seizing these assets and the open window that exists in him trying to secure these funds through other means,” she said.
“This is not about party. This is not about politics,” she claimed. “This is about corruption and criminality. We’re talking about an individual who ordered essentially a terrorist attack on the Capitol of the United States in order to retain power. That is not about being a Republican. It is not about being a Democrat.” [Source: Daily Wire]
Democrat Ocasio-Cortez demanded that New York seize Trump’s assets because he “ordered a terrorist attack on the Capitol.” AOC appears to be referencing January 6, 2021, when some people entered the Capitol Building.
AOC has been mocked in the past for injecting herself into those day’s events. The Democrat had claimed she was under siege, while American citizens calmly walked around the Capitol Building.
Democrats have long maintained that Trump is responsible for the dust-up, claiming he ordered his followers to stage an “insurrection.” Little evidence backs this claim, yet they continue to spread it in a seeming attempt to get him convicted and banned from running for office.
Yet only AOC has claimed Trump ordered a “terrorist attack.” This is perhaps the most over-blown exaggeration of the day’s events—where only one person was allegedly killed, but not by anyone at the Capitol.
AOC is known for her wild hyperbolic comments and factless claims. But this just might be the worst thing she’s ever said. The Democrat is accusing a former president and Republican candidate of being—not just a terrorist—but a terrorist leader. Such comments cannot be ignored.
