Although narratives surrounding AOC and the 1/6ers seem to be dead-ends for brainless, gutless so-called conservatives to latch on to (not actionable issues), pure spite has driven the creation of this thread.
AOC and 1/6: unverified claims, misrepresentations, and outright lies:
She refers to when "people were being killed", even though as far as we know today the only person killed- especially with intent- was the unarmed woman shot in the neck by police. Even the dead police officer's cause of death is in question.
She refers to bombs being planted- with no knowledge of the methodology used by investigators who made this claim of planted bombs, and especially with no knowledge of the ideological basis behind them.
Again, with no basis whatsoever, she tries to connect the death of not only one- but two- Capitol police officers to the actions of the 1/6ers. This is especially egregious, as more evidence is coming out to the contrary.
There is no indicator whatsoever that any of the 1/6ers were "white supremacists".

I would say this is the same tier of lie as "Saddam was working with Al Qaeda", but even the Ba'athist-Islamist terrorist connection had a grain of truth in it. Both narratives target innocents.
Here, she makes the erroneous conflation between proposed legal methods to oppose the selection of electors (arguments as to the ethics and/or utility of doing so aside) with a direct call for a riot.
The insanity of this being a 'white supremacist' event already discussed, she continually refers to 1/6 as an insurrection, and the 1/6ers as insurrectionists. Once again, she inflates the body count due to the 1/6ers, and erroneously uses the word. (An insurrection? Unarmed!?)
Worst of all is AOC comparing hiding in a highly-secured office building unconnected to the Capitol building where the 1/6 issues occurred to sexual assault, and comparing those who want her to apologize for twisting the truth to abusers. Dishonest!
