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.

      Capitol was probably "prepared" enough. There is no way this wasn't planned to happen. Either way there were lots of armed security guards all over the place who would gun down everyone to shit if push came to shove. Apparently the dude yelling in her office was a capitol police officer.

      I think a lot of people just thought it be, at worst, a few hundred middle-aged chuds who run the local jet ski dealership acting tough for a few hours.

      That's about what I figured it would. Of course, I am not privy to various intelligence that was gathered in the lead-up to the insurrection.

        I think that’s what a lot of it was.

        It’s just that there were actual, more serious fash types amongst them who would have done more awful shit had things been less disorganized.
