Just for an actual fact check, I just listened to the entire video AOC did on Instagram about this and she does not say insurrectionists were in the halls of her particular office area. She said she did not know what was going on in the chaos & was scared about where to go.
She def sounds and describes herself as someone who did not know what was going on and was nervous about the worst possibilities, which seems a pretty normal response to me given the level of hatred aimed at her. She was scary because it was scary and a moment of zero good info.
AOC clearly says “all these crazy thoughts go through your head.” It seems like a perfectly normal response to a surreal & potentially dangerous situation. So not exactly clear why Rep. Mace needs to dunk, other than to score her own points, since she had also expressed fear. Sad
If I had to guess, I suspect that Mace did not listen to the broadcast at all, so she was engaged in an unfortunate game of telephone. Had she done so, I cannot imagine she could have tweeted any of this. There is an oversized AOC fixation by the GOP, but feelings are not facts.
Lastly I had this exact convo with my Fox News loving mom this week who spouted this crap and I I made her listen to it. She admitted she was wrong. Still does not like AOC, but had to admit she was wrong.
