After Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Capitol Hill riot exaggerations backfired, the young lawmaker has now likened herself to war veterans who have experienced trauma on the front lines.
The controversial Democrat at first intimated that she was facing a pro-Trump mob in the halls outside her office when rioters stormed the Capitol building. However, it was revealed that Ocasio-Cortez wasn’t present at the time of the attack on Congress, and that her office is in another building entirely.
