“Has there ever been a president, Republican or Democrat that has been subject to this level of criminal charges, indictments, and investigations?” she asks.
Far-left Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) accused former President Donald Trump of ordering “a terrorist attack” on January 6, 2021.
CNN’s “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper asked Ocasio-Cortez if independent voters should believe Trump is being unfairly targeted with a string of civil and criminal cases against him.
“What do you say to an independent voter or an average voter who looks at what’s going on with Donald Trump?” he asked. “You have his assets might be seized tomorrow. You also have the hush money case from District Attorney Alvin Bragg of New York. You also have the Georgia case about election interference. You also have the special counsel investigation on election interference. You also have the classified documents case down in Florida. That’s five cases. What do you say to a voter who says, well, that doesn’t look like he’s being treated equally before the law that looks like somebody that the government is going after?”
AOC responded that Trump “ordered” a “terrorist attack” on the U.S. Capitol and that he is “prone to criminality.”
“Has there ever been a president, Republican or Democrat that has been subject to this level of criminal charges, indictments, and investigations? This is not about party. This is not about politics. This is about corruption and criminality,” she said.
“We’re talking about an individual who ordered essentially a terrorist attack on the Capital of the United States in order to retain power. That, that is not about being a Republican. It is not about being a Democrat. It’s about being an unethical individual who is subject and prone to criminality.”
“Unfortunately, this is the state that we’re in, and I actually think that the fact that it’s happening in so many places and so many jurisdictions cuts in the face of that. This is not just New York, this is Georgia, this is federal courts as well,” she added.
Contrary to AOC’s baseless talking point, the facts show Trump tried to prevent violence and chaos on January 6 by calling for 10,000 National Guard to guard the vicinity, a request that was rejected by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Trump also called for his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard” when marching to the Capitol.
And of course, AOC’s righteous indignation toward Trump rings hollow given she’s outright attacked Joe Biden’s much more substantial evidence of criminal activity revealed in Hunter Biden’s laptop, testimony from his former business associate Tony Bobulinski, IRS and FBI whistleblowers, as well as texts, emails, and receipts that have all been presented by the House Oversight Committee.
