Ocasio-Cortez calls Jan. 6 a ‘trial run’During a town hall meeting in New York, Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) warned that the events that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021 were a “trial run.”
“If we lose the House, this is no joke, Jan. 6 was a trial run. Now, a lot of people don’t seem to understand that. It was a trial run,” the New York progressive said this week.
“And they’re going to come back and they win the House – here’s the thing, the technicality of what happened on Jan. 6, the only reason it wasn’t worse was because Democrats had the House and they didn’t have the votes in the House,” she continued referring to Republicans.
She warned that if Republicans retake the majority in the House in November midterms, “then they have the votes to not authorize and legitimize the presidential election, whatever the results are,” adding it was “very serious.”
A spokesperson for Ocasio-Cortez told The Hill that the congresswoman’s remarks regarding the “trial run” were meant about overthrowing the election results.
