So I ask again. Who's lying now? Originally Posted by DucbutterPick one!

Around the time the clashes at the Capitol started, Ocasio-Cortez said she was at her desk scrolling through lunch options when she heard a loud, “violent” banging on her office doors. She ran over to her legislative director Geraldo Bonilla-Chavez (whom she calls “G”), who told her, “Hide, hide, run and hide.”So Katie Porter is lying too?
She hid in the bathroom of her office and realized that the person who was banging on the door had gotten inside and was yelling, “Where is she?” Ocasio-Cortez said didn’t know it while she was hiding, but the person calling that out was actually a Capitol police officer.
In the moment, while she was hiding in her bathroom and the door started to open on her, Ocasio-Cortez said, she thought she was going to die. “This was the moment where I thought everything was over.”
Ocasio-Cortez went on to describe the ensuing chaos as she and Bonilla-Chavez tried to find a place to hide after the officer told them to evacuate, without directing them to a specific evacuation destination. While she and Bonilla-Chavez ran up and down stairways and wandered hallways, she said, they could hear rioters getting louder and louder, trying to break inside, and felt that at any moment the attackers might breach the building. Ocasio-Cortez said they finally found U.S. Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., and ended up sheltering in place in her office.
All of the above allegedly happened at the time the officer had come to evacuate her. That was at one o'clock per her timeline. There was no breach of any building until @ 2:30 and the building she was in was never breached.

Rep. Katie Porter defends Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Capitol riot account
February 5, 2021, 1:38 am
Representative Katie Porter (D-CA) came to the defense of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Cuomo Prime Time Thursday as Republicans look to discount Ocasio-Cortez’s experience during the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6. Ocasio-Cortez, who is a constant target of conservative media, told of her experience that day in an Instagram Live on Monday, saying that she feared for her life. The pushback began on Thursday after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) posted a tweet stating that her office is two doors down from Ocasio-Cortez’s and that there were no insurrectionists in the hallway. However, on the day of the insurrection, Mace tweeted that they were being moved from their offices because of a nearby threat. Porter said any criticism of Ocasio-Cortez’s account is “absolutely untrue,” and confirmed that the fear was very real.
“She came to my office building. I saw her. She asked if she could come into my office. I am here to tell you and everybody, she was terrified,” Porter said, adding, “I have never seen her like that before. She was clearly very, very rattled and very, very scared.”
Porter said they hid in her office for several hours that day, with the lights and their phones turned off, unsure of what was just outside. Originally Posted by WTF
I never claimed that her fear wasn't real. Only her account of the events. Porter never verifies Cortez's claims about the events, only that she was scared.Why do you think a Capital Police Officer was having them vacate the building?
Cortez claimed that she was evacuated because of the rioters trying to enter the building she was in. Not true. Rioters never tried to enter any building but the Dome.
She claimed that this all happened at @ 1:00 or shortly thereafter. The actual attack on the capital building took place shortly before 2:30. At that time there was no one attacking either of the administrative buildings. No rioters entered the tunnel system through the capital. There were no roving bands of rioters combing the halls looking for her.
Is Ms. Porter lying about AOC being scared? I don't know but I doubt it. Does Ms. Porter back up Cortez's timeline of events? Nowhere in what you posted and nowhere else that I've seen. If she did then she would be lying. Would Ms. Porter lie? Of course, she is a politician.
Do you really think Porter's quotes corroborate AOC's? Originally Posted by Ducbutter

Tje jest of her claim was that the attack triggered her fear from a previous sexual assault.
Wd wants me to somehow verify if her fear is true. Like there is some fear meter.
Are you fearful that Democrats are in charge of a pedophile cabal that Hillary Clinton was in charge of like General Flynn asserted? Originally Posted by WTF
