Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not having a good.
Earlier this week AOC posted an emotional Instagram live video that claimed she almost died during the Capitol riot however, she gave no details about her near death experience. AOC compared her experience during the unrest to a sexual assault that happened to her earlier in life and started to cry.
However, there is a big problem with AOC’s story, first it doesn’t match the official timeline in court documents, or the timeline reported by the Washington Post. Second, video of the so called traumatic evacuation tells a different story.
What set things of was when OANN reporter Jack Posobiec pointed out that AOC’s office is not near the Capitol building and he posted a map to show where she actually was.
The the picture below shows AOC’s actual position.
AOC shot back at Posobiec and said, “Your arrows aren’t accurate. They lie about where the mob stormed & place them further away than it was. You also fail to the convey *multiple* areas people were trying to storm. It wasn’t 1. You also failed to show tunnels. Poor job all around.”
She claimed people were trying to breach the doors and get into her building.
People were trying to rush and infiltrate our office buildings – that’s why we had to get evacuated in the first place.
The attempts of attackers & publicly available communications show how they tried to gain access and share location info on finding members for physical harm.

She also claimed to be surrounded by bombs.
This is the latest manipulative take on the right.
They are manipulating the fact that most people don’t know the layout the Capitol complex.
We were all on the Capitol complex – the attack wasn’t just on the dome.
The bombs Trump supporters planted surrounded our offices too. pic.twitter.com/jI18e0XRrd

So about those tunnels, below is an actual video of the evacuation and notice the time on the post below because that’s important later on when we review the timeline.
#Breaking. We have just been evacuated out of the Cannon House Office building. Capitol Police yelled “Clear the building” did not say why. Holding in a secure location. @Fox5DC pic.twitter.com/pCMLjNB0ks

I don’t see any SWAT teams or people trying to breach the area, do you?
Explosive devices were found outside the headquarters of the DNC and RNC.
Fifteen minutes after the above video was posted Capitol Police “revised” the evacuation due to what was occurring at the Capitol. What’s great is that this is all time stamped because reporters were posting in real time.
Lastly, AOC’s tale doesn’t match the timeline of what actually occurred. Independent journalist Tim Pool lays it out.
At 1:01 pm, in a building without security barricades and 11 minutes before Trump finished speaking
AOC says she heard banging on her door and thought it was them getting inside but this is an hour before anyone breeched the Capitol building. https://t.co/e2wWDwTL61

AOC is using details she learned after the 6th to emotionally manipulate people
AOC fearing people breeching the building makes absolutely no sense because it did not happen at the time of her story

AOC Is Lying
Her story took place at 1:01pm per her own words
The Capitol wasn’t breeched until over an hour later
Congress remained in session until around 2:30pm according to the NYT
Her and Nancy may have been scared after the fact but AOC’s story makes no sense https://t.co/uEbVLcflBu

After being fact checked #AlexandriaOcasioSmollet was trending number #1 on Twitter, she is getting roasted for fabricating her experience.
