Rep. Katie Porter on GOP attacking AOC's account of Capitol riot: 'Absolutely untrue'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) joined Cuomo Prime Time Thursday, where she came to the defense of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as Republicans question Ocasio-Cortez’s account of her experience during the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6. On Monday, Ocasio-Cortez, one of the most maligned Democrats among conservative voices, recounted her experience on Instagram Live, speaking about the sounds she was hearing, and people yelling, “Where is she?” Ocasio-Cortez said she genuinely feared for her life, at one point even questioning whether a Capitol police officer was there to help her or harm her. Porter said the claims that Ocasio-Cortez is lying about her experience are “absolutely untrue.”

“She came to my office building. I saw her. She asked if she could come into my office. I am here to tell you and everybody, she was terrified,” Porter said, adding, “I have never seen her like that before. She was clearly very, very rattled and very, very scared.”

The controversy began Thursday morning when Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) posted a tweet contradicting Ocasio-Cortez’s claims.

However, on Jan. 6 as the insurrection was happening, Mace sang a much different tune.

1. Nancy Mace is a scumbag

2. Do all republicans have dual personalities?

5. I think they do.

Maybe a clone in the closet? Have to check on these people.

3. Looks like Rep. Mace got over her concern from J6

But then, the mob wasn't howling for her blood so why should she be worried?

4. Hey Nancy Mace, want to go face to face with Katie Porter?

[Bradshaw3]

6. Mace owes AOC an apology

Not that that will ever happen because that would mean doing the decent thing.

7. Katie Porter also spoke about this when she was on with Lawrence O'Donnell:

Rep. Katie Porter On Hiding With AOC During Capitol Riot - The Last Word - MSNBC

Rep. Katie Porter joins Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss what it was like to shelter Rep. Ocasio-Cortez in her office during the Capitol riot. She most remembers finding AOC a pair of sneakers “so that she could run if she literally needed to run for her life,” and AOC telling her, “I just hope I get to be a mom. I hope I don’t die today.” Aired on 2/1/2021.
