It's moronic when right wingers can't give someone credit for helping out during a crisis because it goes against their agenda.

Meanwhile, the same delusional attitudes prevent them from criticizing Ted Cruz for not only abandoning his fellow Texans but also leaving his dog alone in a freezing house.


Snowflake looks out to the street.

This is what the right has become. I hope to god the GQP rots in the political wasteland for a generation. Because I wouldn't vote for a Republican as dog catcher.

at this point yes.... looks like you’re ‘tapped’ out of any remaining good will here with your incessant cheerleading for someone who lied about not one but 2 supposed near death episodes perpetuated by Cruz and Trump....

It's sad that you swallowed that lie hook, line, and sinker. Your incessant cheerleading for right wing kook sites has blinded you to the truth...

Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed that she was not in the Capitol building during the attack, and that she’s exaggerating her experience. In reality, Ocasio-Cortez was in her congressional office, which is in a building located directly outside the Capitol. Her office was one of several that was evacuated. Plus, she had reason to fear for her life: Ocasio-Cortez has been subjected to death threats since taking office, and one of the rioters threatened to assassinate her on social media.

In her video, Ocasio-Cortez recalled hiding in Rep. Katie Porter’s office while protestors yelled, “Where is she?” On Twitter, she called Carlson’s claim “manipulative,” and said that he is “manipulating the fact that most people don’t know the layout” of the Capitol complex.

Ocasio-Cortez never claimed to be in the main Capitol building. When the attack on the Capitol began, Ocasio-Cortez was, as she stated, in her congressional office, which is located in a network of office buildings immediately surrounding the Capitol, and her office building was one of the two buildings that were evacuated.

'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.'

Two pipe bombs were discovered during the siege, one outside the Republican National Committee and another outside the Democratic National Committee.

Cannon House is on the same block as the RNC and a little further away from the DNC, about 400 yards.

She said: '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.'

The GQP really is scum.

Nope, afraid that's you that's wrong. I warned you before about right wing kook sites. Redstate is one of them.

As I linked before, The Cannon Building was in fact evacuated during the siege...

But Ms. Ocasio-Cortez never said insurrectionists had stormed that hallway, and Ms. Mace herself has described being frightened enough to barricade her own door. A spokeswoman for Ms. Mace said on Friday that the congresswoman’s tweet had been intended as “an indictment of the media for reporting there were insurrectionists in our hallway when in fact there were not,” and that it “was not at all directed at Ocasio-Cortez.”

“As the Capitol complex was stormed and people were being killed, none of us knew in the moment what areas were compromised,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response to Ms. Mace’s post. (A spokeswoman for Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said the lawmaker had no additional comment.)

Others have corroborated Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s account and confirmed that the Cannon building was threatened, even though the rioters did not ultimately breach it.

Ari Rabin-Havt, a deputy manager for Senator Bernie Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign, tweeted that he was in the Capitol tunnels during the attack. As Mr. Rabin-Havt moved toward the Cannon building, he wrote, members of a SWAT team yelled at him to find a hiding place.

And Representative Katie Porter, Democrat of California, said on MSNBC that after the Cannon building was evacuated, she and Ms. Ocasio-Cortez sheltered in Ms. Porter’s office in another building. She said Ms. Ocasio-Cortez was clearly terrified, opening closets to try to find hiding places and wishing aloud that she had worn flats instead of heels in case she had to run.

when you have facts on your side pound the law, when you don’t, pound the table....

And Trump said "Go raid the Cannon House Office Building where they are certifying the election! Peacefully of course. "

Where was the snow? That was a helluva cleanup job...

From your own link...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was in the Cannon office building, across from the Capitol
Her office is located in the Cannon building, which is accessible through underground tunnels connected to the Capitol as well as via a short stroll down a walkway and across the street. It was also one of the buildings where staff was told to evacuate after suspicious packages were found in the area. Law enforcement found pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails in the vicinity.

From Nancy Mace...

Congresswoman Nancy Mace joined "Good Morning Charleston" on Monday morning to discuss a tumultuous first week in D.C.

Just days after being sworn in, Mace found herself evacuating her new office as supporters of President Trump overran the Capitol in a deadly effort to overturn the results of the presidential election.

"The only thing stopping protesters from entering our building were the Capitol police. Looking at the video footage that you could see outside and then inside the Capitol that afternoon is that they were outnumbered and they were unprepared," she explained while retelling her account of the day's events.

And now on Fox News...

You Literally Can't Believe The Facts Tucker Carlson Tells You. So Say Fox's Lawyers

Now comes the claim that you can't expect to literally believe the words that come out of Carlson's mouth. And that assertion is not coming from Carlson's critics. It's being made by a federal judge in the Southern District of New York and by Fox News's own lawyers in defending Carlson against accusations of slander. It worked, by the way.

Just read U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil's opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox's lawyers: The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' "

So just another right wing kook site.

"The only thing stopping protesters from entering our building were the Capitol police. Looking at the video footage that you could see outside and then inside the Capitol that afternoon is that they were outnumbered and they were unprepared,"

So no rioter's never even went into her building is what you are saying.....
