AOC Comforts Rashida Tlaib Obviously suffering PTSD from Riots

Lawmakers stood before the House late Thursday to tell their personal, often stunning accounts of the siege of the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, preserving for the record their own memories of the most violent domestic attack on Congress in the nation’s history.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., led colleagues in the hourlong session days before the former president's impeachment trial, saying their stories need to be told at a time when some in Congress and the nation are trying to minimize the damage of Jan. 6 and “move on.”
One by one, the Democratic lawmakers — no Republicans participated — shared their remembrances: seeing the hundreds of rioters massing outside the Capitol and hearing the taunts, screams and glass breaking. And then “the feeling,” as Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., put it, “of being trapped.”
Among the most emotional statements was that of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. Although she was not at the Capitol that day (she previously stated she suffered from side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine and stayed home), she broke into tears as she recounted how she has been the target of death threats since before she was first sworn-in in 2019 -- threats she says that have even targeted her young son.
Tlaib said she also feared for her colleagues.
"They are diverse. I have LGBTQ staff. I have a beautiful Muslima that wears her hijab proudly in the halls. I have Black women that are so proud to be here to serve their country. And I worry every day for their lives because of this rhetoric,"Tlaib said.
"This is real. And, you know, many of our residents from the shootings in Charlottesville to the massacre at the synagogue, all of it, all of it is led by hate rhetoric like this," she continued. "And so I urge my colleagues to please, please take what happened on January 6 seriously. It will lead to more deaths and we can do better. We must do better."

Too bad the "insurrectionists" were not as "violent" in the "domestic attack" as Antifa and BLM. None of them would have been left alive to blow up bullshite all over the media.

Even if you're a never Trumper, Dim Marxist or NWO scum you have to admit Trump may have been the only emotionally stable individual in the D.C. Swamp. It seems like every politician is looking for their moment to cry on camera, which wouldn't be a big thing if they were crying over the destruction of the nation.

I’m now to believe that foul mouthed street thug Tlaib is a shrinking violet. Sorry, not sorry

Larping phony drama queen.

I just to remind everyone she accused a Captiol policeman trying to give her security of being an insurrectionist even though he was trying to guard her, bc "it felt wrong"

After AOC's blowup, I wouldn't even show my face any longer. Just resign and finally shut up.

Don't forget she just "knew" he was white as she hid in the closet like super quiet.
