[ [link removed] ]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress


Warning: This email contains descriptions of violence and strong language.



Last week, Alexandria was named and threatened directly in a new video
released by the January 6 committee.

In the video, an insurrectionist (who received a tour of the Capitol by
Rep. Loudermilk on January 5) said during the attack: “There’s no escape
[...] We’re coming for you. We’re coming in like white on rice for Pelosi,
Nadler, Schumer, even you AOC. We’re coming to take you out and pull you
out by your hair.”^1

A reporter asked Alexandria her response. Here’s what she had to say:

“I think it's been very clear for a very long time that I work with people
who wish me harm … who wish me physical harm, who wish me political harm,
who wish me harm – and it’s not just Representative Loudermilk.

You have many members of Congress who have specifically used my name to
incite violence and this has been happening well before the 6th. Many
people experience the 6th in very different ways. I experienced it as a
culmination of the violent rhetoric, not a first-time or a one-time
spike.”

It’s sad, but true. These attacks are not new.

Last year, Representative Paul Gosar – a Republican from Arizona – tweeted
an animated video depicting him killing Alexandria.^2 The House passed a
resolution to censure Rep. Gosar for his actions, but his Republican
colleagues defended him.

Representative Ted Yoho called Alexandria “a f— b—” on the steps of the
Capitol, meanwhile Representative Marjory Taylor Greene chased after
Alexandria screaming and stalked her office with fellow
insurrectionists.^3 These attacks are not new, but they’re equally
alarming.

[ [link removed] ]Alexandria is a target because our opponents know how powerful our
movement is. Can you help us continue to support Alexandria’s work in
Congress by chipping in $3 or whatever you can today?

Through all of this, Alexandria is laser focused on doing her job and
fighting for all of us in Congress. It’s not easy, but we can help make it
easier by making sure she has the grassroots support required to fend off
these attacks and win her reelection in November.

Thank you for all your support. It means the world.

Team AOC
