I wonder who, if they had been inside the complex that day, seeing and hearing what was going on outside and watching the media coverage of the building being breached, would not feel in danger?my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0

tell me if I'm reading this wrong: "....no one will convince me....she would have been in grave danger".mrussel1 said:Maybe AOC exaggerates. Maybe she is dramatic. Maybe she was never truly in danger, but maybe she felt she was. Maybe she just likes face time. None of that matters. How someone felt in that situation is irrelevant to the fact that what happened was an abomination. And no one will convince me (nor probably 75% of Americans) that had the rioters actually found her, she would have been in grave danger.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
I forgot the word 'not'. I guess that makes a difference. Had the insurrectionists found her, she definitely would have been in grave danger.HughFreakingDillon said:tell me if I'm reading this wrong: "....no one will convince me....she would have been in grave danger".0 -
But wait! There’s more! Mace had plenty to say in the wake of trump’s insurrection, in a brief moment of clarity:oftenreading said:
So there was a threat when Mace wanted to tweet about it, but not when AOC wanted to tweet about it, is that the situation?
It's my understanding that AOC never claimed that "insurrectionists stormed our hallway".“Mace said she barricaded herself inside her D.C. office during the attack. Fearing that Trump supporters she had seen staying at her hotel might target her after she voted to certify the electoral votes, Mace said she decided to sleep in her office that night.
She said her children keep texting her asking if the protesters are gone.
As she talked about the impact Wednesday’s deadly insurrection had not only on democracy, but on the Republican Party and its members, Mace’s voice began to shake.
“My anger not only stems from the violence last night, where four people died and people were injured, but everything (Trump) accomplished during the last four years of his presidency. That legacy has now been wiped out. It is gone, and we have to start over from scratch,” Mace said, noting that Republicans will be the minority party in both congressional chambers during at least the first two years of Democrat Joe Biden’s presidency.
“We now have lost the Senate. We did that on our own accord. We did it to ourselves, and we reap what we sow. The rhetoric has got to stop,” Mace continued. “That is one of the main reasons that we lost people within our party. We lost independents. We lost moderates. We lost centrist Republicans. We lost Republicans who voted for a Democrat for the first time in their life this cycle.”

I wonder what happened since Mace made those comments.... just kidding, we all know what happened. The GOP reminded her who they & what they’re about, so she’s back toeing the party line.
Good stuff.

AOC's office is listed as the cannon house office building (the red marker on the map). the Capitol is clearly visible. make of this what you will.

The first one was obviously before Mace got the talking points memo from the GOP leaders.0

I have no idea why AOC would even be the slightest bit concerned. https://www.courthousenews.com/dallas-area-man-accused-of-threatening-to-assassinate-rep-ocasio-cortez/0

sure you do. i've seen you clarify facts many times. but hey, I'm assuming you'll just refute that since I don't care enough to go through your 26 thousand plus posts to find examples.Halifax2TheMax said:I don’t go to a rock band’s message board for the clarification of “facts,” thank you.
