(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., trashed Capitol Police for not protecting her from a heckler, despite her encouragement of hecklers who have interrupted Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and harassed and intimidated other conservative justices wherever they go, the Gateway Pundit reported.
AOC initially posted about the incident, accusing the man of sexual threats and of swearing at her while behaving in an aggressive way. In her view, the Capitol Police failed to protect her from the violent man.
But when the footage was found later, she deleted the post and wrote a tweet which backed off of her lying account. She even admitted to “walking over to deck him,” for having the temerity to exercise his freedom of speech at the nation’s Capitol.
I posted about a deeply disgusting incident that happened today on the Capitol steps, but took it down bc it’s clearly someone seeking extremist fame.
It’s just a bummer to work in an institution that openly allowed this, but talking about it only invites more. Just really sad.

“I posted about a deeply disgusting incident that happened today on the Capitol steps, but took it down bc it’s clearly someone seeking extremist fame. It’s just a bummer to work in an institution that openly allowed this, but talking about it only invites more,” she wrote.
AOC not only backtracked on her original claims, she also openly declared that she was engaging in an attempt to physically assault a citizen.
Of course AOC has long encouraged hecklers to get into the faces of public figures.
Recently she mocked Kavanaugh for having to leave a restaurant as pro-abortion protestors swarmed him and his family.
“Poor guy,” she wrote. “He left before his soufflé because he decided half the country should risk death if they have an ectopic pregnancy within the wrong state lines. It’s all very unfair to him. The least they could do is let him eat cake.”
