John,
On January 6, a mob of rioters broke into the Capitol building -- many looking for prominent Democratic women like Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In a harrowing instagram live a few weeks later, AOC shared her traumatic experience during the insurrection, when she thought she was “going to die.”
Now, in a recent interview with Latino USA, AOC opened up again to share that she's in therapy to process the Capitol attack, which she's calling “extraordinarily traumatizing.”
And without skipping a beat, Newsmax host Greg Kelly mocked her for it, calling her “silly,” accusing her of “having a meltdown,” and proclaiming derisively "she's getting therapy and obviously she could use some.”
Republicans have attacked AOC since she was elected. From Rep. Ted Yoho calling her a “f---ing b----” to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene following her around the Capitol -- and now an army of Republicans accusing her of fabricating her traumatizing experience on January 6 -- AOC has had to endure what no person should to serve in Congress.
As AOC leads the call for increased security measures in the Capitol, we want to make it clear that the American people have her back. John, add your voice to ours now:
Do you stand with AOC?
Thank you for providing your input as we work to strengthen our democracy and support the progressive women bringing change to Washington.
Our work would be impossible without you.
