Apparently she is a survivor herself.

Edit: aaaaaaaand the libs are co-opting this of course.... I’m proud of AOC for sharing her story. I wouldn’t be nearly as brave or intelligent when I was her age. critical support, as usual. AOC good today. Who knows what tomorrow holds.

    They absolutely would have killed her if they had the chance. And worse. These people have been whipped into a frenzy by their fascistic media and their online "leaders" have done nothing but try to constantly demean and dehumanize her for having the gall to speak a modicum of truth to power. They primed the pump for this violence. It is good the chuds were too busy being knuckleheads to actually find one of their targets but I also know mob mentality, and if one person had managed to grab her and knock her down, others would have joined in the attack. No-one in that group would have tried to intervene. They're too stupid to do anything right, and that includes doing the right thing, such as attempting to mitigate the violence around them. They're such fucking cowards. Misogynist, misanthropic, mollycoddled cowards.

      It really does seem like we're a handful of competent people short of a fullblown take over by the right wing . Contrarians will talk their usual irony pilled shit about how it was nothing, just like everything ever, but this. is just the beginning. They are just as naive and arrogant as liberals are.
