Ocasio-Cortez on Skipping Inauguration — ‘Still Don’t Yet Feel Safe Around Other Members of Congress’

Pam Key 22 Jan 2021

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Thursday on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” that she did not attend Wednesday’s inauguration of President Joe Biden out of fear of her colleagues in Congress.

When anchor Chris Cuomo asked why she did not attend, Ocasio-Cortez said, “I think we also had very real security concerns as we mentioned earlier. We still don’t yet feel safe around other members of Congress.”

Cuomo asked, “How many are we?”

Ocasio-Cortez said, “I think a very considerable amount.”

Cuomo asked, “You really think colleagues of yours in Congress may do you dirty?”

Ocasio-Cortez said, “Yeah, well, one just tried to bring a gun on the floor of the House today. I believe it was Representative Andy Harris from 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. There are separate House rules that prohibit the bringing in of firearms. These are rules that date back to the Civil War. 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?”

Cuomo asked, “You think they’re bringing it in because they want to protect all of you from insurrectionists like we saw a couple of weeks ago, or do you think there really is a chance that you may be the enemy?”

If only she were 1/10 as significant to other Congress members as she seems to believe she is.

She needs her ass kicked.

I’m guessing she doesn’t feel safe around her own shadow. Snowflake.

Keep in mind we're talking about someone who was freaked out by a garbage disposer.

She's scared of Queen Nan.
