CNN has tweeted this like 98 times already, almost feels like they are trying to sexualise this story. 🤦🏻‍♂️ DoBetter

.....

wasnt she not even in the building?

I admire her passion, direct honesty and bravery. It pisses me off when morons comment on PTSD as something small. It can last years. Prevent sleep, cause nightmares, difficulty being around violence and hostile people. And so much more

She wasn’t even in the capitol building!! She was as scared about that as she was broken up about the kids in cages she ignores now

now say it on only fans

CNN is pathetic is this the only story you have? I’ve seen it 4 times in the past 2 hours.

If you want to know how corrupt is NRMOnline in Uganda just go to Google and search for 'the most expensive road in world ' you will laugh and collapse🤣. Most of the funds and loans given to Uganda by IMFNews & WorldBank are spent on corruption and human rights violation.

debilu2 When I learned staffers had barricaded themselves in offices and storage rooms during Jan 6 insurrection, I was very frightened they would be raped by the seditious rioters

NeverForgetJanuary6th

I notice it's only guys who are disbelieving.

That's the only way that nut is gonna get any.

Broke a fingernail, call a lawyer

January 6th still haunts her. She can’t just get it out of her head. I believe in her. I support AOC ✊💙

She's 100% correct. Horrifying.

America is a strange country, instead of talking aboute homeless people and very expensive hospital care they making fights against each other ehh . Its like reality show but with politicians.

No one is ever going to confuse AOC with one of the great thinkers of our generation.

Except the rioters were never close to her. A black man can say he feared for his life in a routine traffic stop, but that isn’t rational based on facts. She feared being raped and killed by a group that never raped nor killed anyone. This is obvious theater.

Her committee interviewed the head of CBP, and she pointed out that CBP agents in a Facebook group were posting memes of her being raped and murdered. If cops openly express that, who can she actually trust to do the job of protecting her?

They don't kill special needs people you fit just right in with them

She. Wasn’t. In. The. Same. BUILDING! Stop giving airtime to this communist airhead!

She wasn’t in or near the Capitol stop the bs already

Black and Hispanics Americans are the lowest vaccination rate. They are not republican. The majority of Americans who are not vaccinated are Democrats. This is a fact. I feel bad for all the people in the USA because of the abundant propaganda.

Ignorance she wasn’t even there. Just like David Hogg

And the award for the best crisis actor goes to AOC 🤡

How is this news?

I hate to admit it, but she is correct. My conservative “associates” have a love-hate relationship with AOC. Hate her politics, but love 💃🏽

Who in the heck would want to rape her? What a drama actor😡Get out and help mortgage holders like you did renters😡😡🤮🤮

It's funny CNN & AOC talk about AOC fearing being killed by a people's who weren't out looking to hurt people OR THEY WOULF HAVE. Now ya should Fear Criminals in New York City & there murdering of peoples u should b protecting. Liberal Politicians are Complete Failure👎 2022/4

To all you naysayers, she never said rioters who entered her office in the video testimony, but rather described fearing for her life in the moment due to the presence of the unidentified police officer in her office that day. She's allowed her feelings.

She wasn’t even there.

Give this bimbo an Oscar ! 🤣🤣🤣

Well done CNN .. you obviously know how to play the race or victim card in any situation! Well done! well done !!!

Straight A’s in Drama

Haha… she wasn’t even in the building … CNN you have out done yourself this time

Rep. Kim Schrier slams Madison Cawthorn over 'absurd' comparison of masks to child abuse'Cawthorn, though closer to a child's age than I am, really does not have any perspective on this,' said Schrier. Masks cause bacterial pneumonia, this is child abuse. I haven’t heard any North Americans calling child protective services on parents for putting scarves or Halloween masks on their children (and trust me ... an N95 mask is MUCH easier to breathe in) The pandemic is abusing all of us.
