Sorry, but neither of those even remotely approached inciting a riot at the nations capital, for the purposes of overturning the election. Your whataboutism is rather weak. At least come up with better false equivalencies.
I dont think she deceived anyone. I think she felt her life was in danger(not sure how I could have or find any information that she didnt) and I think that Ted Cruz's false allegations of widespread voter fraud contributed to what happened at the capital that day. Was she being a little hyperbolic when she said he tried to have her murdered, I guess. It was a pissing match on twitter, which has never had you this upset before.Quote:

You are, of course, welcome to have a different opinion. Unless you have some emails or documents where AOC is saying she didnt fear for her life or that this twitter comment is a plot to take cruz down, you wont be swaying my opinion. So again, what is the point? We disagree, and that's allowed in both of our fine countries.
Police see a cellphone in a man’s hand and can’t tell it’s a phone, it’s reasonable to assume his life is in danger and for him to shoot the man dead.
AOC gets death threats from people who storm the adjoining building looking for her and police direct her to barricade herself in and hide, but it’s unreasonable to assume her life is in danger.
What a topsy-turvy world we live in.
I just thought of another parallel. This is like saying Sam and Frodo weren’t in danger in Bree because the Nazgul who were trying to kill them were stabbing their beds in the Inn next door.
no reason to bring up the first because I would bet damn well that you yourself would have an issue with any police that did that.Quote:

it's not whataboutism, this is not about who or what incited to rioting.Quote:

even her own reps didn't help.

if someone breaks into a kitchen, and a person is upstairs at most a 10 minute walk down the road (literally in this case), then no they are not in the same house physically upstairs.Quote:
Reps for Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez provided a statement to The Post, reiterating the fact that her office is connected by underground tunnel to the Capitol Dome and that the congresswoman was at risk on Jan. 6.
“The Congresswoman’s office is connected to the Capitol Dome by an underground tunnel. It is at most a 10 minute walk. If someone breaks into your house through the kitchen, and you’re physically upstairs, no one thinks you’re safe.
this from the article is also against AOC, and something else nobody wants to admit was wrong on her part.
she knows especially after the fact that he was there to help her, and I have seen nothing of her thankful for that, thanking him for doing his job to help her be safe. that shouldn't be something using him to continue an agenda, it should be something where one says thank you.Quote:
She had been barricaded in her office for hours when a man who turned out to be a Capitol Police officer rushed into her office to direct her to a safer location for lawmakers.
The officer, AOC said, had “anger and hostility in his eyes,” making her question if he was trying to put her in a “vulnerable situation.” Still, she chose to trust him and not “pass judgment.”
because PSD left is partisan, expects me to have better conversation on things they think are true while refusing to do the same on something obvious the other way.Quote:

that is what is called an exaggeration. but people will fight me while refusing to admit that.
She had a mob of armed people looking for her to kill her, and they had broken into govt buildings to do such.Quote:

the answer to those are available.
I suppose we should be saying the people on the opposite side of the Pentagon weren’t in any danger on 9/11 because the plane didn’t fly through their offices...
If armed vigilantes were looking to kill you and broke into your neighbors house looking for you, would you call the police?Quote:

if I was barricaded in place for hours before police got there, then I wasn't in danger from those that broke into a house down the road as I first thought. still scared as I said AOC was, but not in the same danger had they gotten closer.
