Outrage as Claims Surface That Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Was Shelting in Her Office in the Cannon Office Building, Not Capitol Hill, Where Riot Broke Out (VIDEO)

I do not know, and I'm making no claims one way or the other, but prominent Twitter personalities have painted a pretty clear picture that she was sheltering (cowering) in her office across the street from the Capitol Building during the "white supremacist domestic terrorist" siege on January 6th. 

The full truth will come out, of course, but as she's a known fabulist, it's easy to see why she can't be trusted. (See, for example, at the Dallas Morning News, "AOC to Ted Cruz: ‘You almost had me murdered’," which is pure crap.)

At London's Daily Mail, "She wasn't even in the building! AOC is accused of exaggerating her 'near-death' Capitol riot experience as it's revealed the office where she cowered was down the street and UNTOUCHED - as #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett trends on Twitter."

The New York Post, "AOC blasted for exaggerating her ‘trauma’ from Capitol riot experience."

Attacking Jack Posobiec, A.O.C. tweeted yesterday:

This is the latest manipulative take on the right.

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.
