    AOC describing the events (relevant bits in the first 10 minutes) is similarly chilling.

      It's so telling that she didn't want to shelter with republican members of congress because she doesn't trust them to not betray her location and get her killed. We've elected some real pieces of shit.

        Also, I believe another member of the squad tested covid positive after being forced to shelter with republicans

        edit: it was jayapal and at least two other dems https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/3-members-congress-tested-positive-171859571.html

        It's can't really be proven that the sheltering is the cause, but there's video of repubs refusing masks etc.

      I wondered why we had not heard from AOC on Twitter until very late that evening—it was very unlike her. I cannot say I was surprised to essentially hear her say she was targeted by the chuds. "Uhhhh, make no mistake," I'm not in favor of a new patriot act. There's no denying there was collusion between various levels of government, law enforcement, and the chuds and there were a group of organized chuds among the larger mob... And that should be fucking concerning, even if you're a wealthy white Brooklyn podcaster.

      (Yeah, I know I'm a big lib for liking AOC, suck my balls.)

        She can get dragged by us only. This is really worrying. As for taking down these chuds, it can be done without a new patriot act. AOC herself on twitter even said so.
