Hypocrite AOC (who encouraged violent protests) 'to make ppl uncomfortable' Reacts To 'close to half of the House nearly dying' last week [VIDEO]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was quick with the hyperbole when she appeared on ABC with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday, attacking Republicans over the Capitol protest and demanding “accountability.”

But didn’t she praised violent protests just last month?

The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable.

Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows.

To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable… that’s the point.

The people who stormed the U.S. Capitol last week fancied themselves “activists” of sorts. They definitely wanted policy changes.

And yet, AOC’s take on them is completely different:

We have no doubt she was scared. We would’ve been terrified. But “half of the House nearly dying” seems like maybe an exaggeration.

That’s a bit of an overstatement

There is no defense for the violence but the double standards are sickening. However they weren’t just protesters; they were actively seeking destruction and willing to stop at nothing to get it.

But the people looting businesses and burning down cities and killing people in the streets weren’t just “protesters,” either. They were doing a lot more than making people “uncomfortable.” So why does AOC condemn the former and encourage and celebrate the latter?

Yet you cheered riots on all summer
