Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) didn’t think you’d gotten enough of her spin on her ‘near death’ experience before what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Now in addition to the Instagram video of more than an hour and her over a hundred tweets fighting with other members about how dare anyone question her experience, she’s going to lead a “special hour” where she and other members can vent their souls about what happened.
As I said earlier this week, my story of the attack on our Capitol is not the only story,nor is it the central story.
It is just one of 100s of stories.
Tonight, we will start to hear more on the House floor.
I invite all colleagues who wish to share to join our special order. https://t.co/O4rVIA4R95

Pelosi gave AOC a special 60-minute order to allow “space” for members of Congress to publicly express their emotions and “lived experience” on the floor of the House. That is what’s occurring right now

Now, there were some representatives who were in the Capitol building and were in vicinity of the action going down. Just AOC wasn’t one of them. We’ve talked about her account has been very manipulative. Which it was again today.
According to Michael Tracy, AOC was basically saying that no one could question her account because it hurts the trauma of survivors everywhere.
AOC is on the floor of the House saying that anyone who questions the claims of “survivors” — because everyone in Congress is apparently a “survivor” now — is guilty of exacerbating the “trauma” of ALL “survivors” everywhere in the country. Again, this is insanely manipulative

That’s nuts.
So we should just accept uncritically AOC’s story about her experience despite it not happening in the Capitol building, it happening at least an hour before the Capitol building was breached and there being no actual threat from rioters physically to her? Despite her out and out lying about aspects of it, like claiming “Trump supporters planted bombs” when there’s no evidence to support that as of this moment. A bomb was actually left at the RNC which put the RNC in more danger than AOC was in her office on Jan. 6. We should just accept and not question her ridiculous claim without evidence that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) plotted murdering her? Or should we be honest and say that’s conspiracy theory and dangerously divisive?
But that was the common theme of the variety hour. That if it’s “trauma” and “lived experience,” one wasn’t allowed to question it.
“Everybody’s experiences are different, and everybody’s experiences must be validated,” claimed Cori Bush. So why didn’t AOC validate Nancy Mace’s truthful experience that there were no attackers in the hallway she shared with AOC? This “validation” thing appears to have some big holes. Do only Democrats get validated and have their narrative accepted even if it’s in the wrong building?

Rashida Tlaib is bawling on the floor of the House. She can’t even get through a sentence. This is a group therapy session (taxpayer funded and televised) pic.twitter.com/MUXHbL2BL5

AOC’s voice is quivering as she concludes this bizarre group therapy session. She has successfully imported the language of self-confessional therapeutic moralism into the House, with full support from Dem Leadership. Gotta give her credit for achieving her objectives! pic.twitter.com/j0CCw8NyGz

No, everyone’s experience is not equal. The experience of someone in the Capitol is going to be different than that of someone in another building six minutes away. The experience of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) who was shot at by a Bernie Bro, harassed and pushed by leftist BLM protesters in August and attacked by his liberal neighbor who broke six of his ribs is not the same as that of Congress members who suffered no such harm or attack.
Meanwhile, a lot of the response from Americans to this event amounted to: why are you having this struggle session while we’re still waiting for virus relief from lockdowns that destroyed our jobs and economy?
