AOC's performative victimhood, which is all this was, deserves to be called out for what it is. It's not the first time she's done this. It's fake, cynical, and manipulative, like her.
Pretty sure politicians taking bribe money, promoting Antifa attacking the government, burning down buildings, shooting teens at CHAZ, bailing out repeat rapists, & voting to drone children鈥檚 hospitals in the Middle East is far more vile.
Glenn Greenwald had the right take I think. AOC was probably legitimately scared, but the privilege she feels in elevating her "lived experience" into a political principle without regard for a half-million constituents with bigger problems is narcissistic and immature.
Dare he call out AOC as the charlatan she is? Bravo to him for doing so. Every word she speaks is performative; meant to further inflame and divide. Sorry, you don't get to toss a victim blanket over all of that.
Let me say, I am an actual survivor & I've been robbed at gunpoint, the gun being held to the back of my head w/ the trigger pulled it misfired, for which I still thank God.
I don't go on social media for views & likes after every incident & I can spot the truth, continuously.
