WASHINGTON, D.C.—At the first hearing covering the January 6 insurrection, powerful, gripping testimony was given by the ghost of AOC, who passed away in the deadly riots. Committee members got out some candles and a Ouija board and attempted to summon her spirit. Finally, she materialized to give her testimony.
Reporters say there wasn’t a dry eye in the place as Ocasio-Cortez related the events of that day.
“I died that day,” she said, ghost tears flowing from her ghost face. “It was horrifying. It was like a medieval war: fighting inch by inch, little by little, trying to push out the invaders. Sadly, while others survived by the skin of their teeth, I didn’t make it.”
Ocasio-Cortez recounted to a mesmerized audience how she fought off the attackers with her .50 caliber mounted machine gun, taking down wave after wave of Trump supporters intent on killing her. But finally, she claims, one of them threw a copy of The Art of the Deal at her face, and she dropped dead.
She also claimed the person who threw the book at her was “probably Ted Cruz.”
Go here to read the rest. Among all the drama queen emoting yesterday, I heard that January 6 was the worst assault on Capitol Hill that had occurred in our history. Snort of disgust. People don’t read history anymore, they simply tell self-serving lies about it. Truth be told angry protestors have stormed the “sacred precincts” of Capitol Hill pretty routinely. One only has to think about the Kavanaugh nomination fight in 2018 or the virtual siege of Capitol Hill by BLM mobs all the way back to last year. The deadliest assault on Capitol Hill occurred on March 1, 1954 when four Puerto Rican terrorists shot up the House of Representatives wounding five Representatives in the process, miraculously all of whom survived. Jimmy Carter, who used to be our most worthless President, commuted the life sentences of the terrorists in 1979, over the vociferous protests of the then Governor of Puerto Rico who called this an encouragement for terrorism. The shoving match on Capitol Hill, where no firearms were used by the rioters, and where Capitol Hill police waved many protesters in, was a joke compared to that event.
It’s downright pathetic how the left tries it’s damndest to write history.
Pathetic is an understatement.
I’m reminded of the line from Braveheart; Malcolm Wallace : “Your heart is free. Have the courage to follow it. … but history is written by those who have hanged heroes.”
AOC is hollow. Ghastly at best.
About AOC, what Lily Tomlin said, “Sometimes the worst thing that can happen to you is to get what you want”. AOC and her chum Riley procrastinated for years on the project of building an ordinary life for themselves, then she gets elected to Congress, turning their life into a clown show. That had to do with her character deficiencies and the inability or unwillingness of the people around her (including Riley) to coax her back on track.
I have the oddest impulse to go watch “Rashomon”.
