Friend,
When the Capitol was stormed on January 6th - it was terrifying.
The actions of the out-of-control mob who forced their way into the Capitol were immediately condemned by the left and the right.
But since that day, the left has run wild because they will never let a crisis go to waste to push their radical agenda -- especially Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Earlier this week, she said she feared for her life. She compared it to sexual assault. She claimed Senators were responsible for “trying to have her murdered” that day.
And then the reports came out that she wasn’t in the Capitol during the riot.
She was two doors down the hall from me. And I know firsthand, there were never insurrectionists in our hallway.
Now, I will not discount the fear of any member of Congress on that day. And I too have shared my horrible experience on January 6th. It was a dark day in our nation’s history. But unlike AOC, I deal in facts, not fiction. And the fact is: she was safe in her office.

This ‘never let a good crisis go to waste’ hyper-partisan talk is part of the reason Washington can’t come together for the people anymore.
AOC doesn’t want to find common ground. She wants to further divide Americans.
That’s exactly what she did with her divisive comments about the Capitol riot. And that’s what she continues to do by going after me for pointing out the simple truth that never was there ever a rioter in our hallway.
She can pressure me all she wants, but I’ve never backed down before, and I won’t start now. I will always stand up to the political games and lies. And lucky for me, I’m in good company.
