John,
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently took to Instagram to share her firsthand experience of the violent insurrection at the Capitol on January 6.
After she posted a vulnerable, fear-filled recounting of the moment she thought she would lose her life, conservative media outlets -- as well as GOP representatives like Marjorie Taylor Greene -- began calling her story a “hoax” and got the hashtag #AOCLied trending on Twitter.
When we say that progressive women of color face barriers in politics, this is what we're talking about. If you understand that credibility has no gender and that emotion does not contradict facts, please, let us know now:
Do you believe AOC?
Thank you so much for speaking out alongside us today.
A Woman's Place
