Sad but true Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress June 23rd 12:19 PM Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress Warning: This email contains descriptions of violence and strong language. Peter, Last week, Alexandria was named and threatened directly in a new video released by the January 6 committee. In the video, an insurrectionist (who received a tour of the Capitol by Rep. Loudermilk on January 5) said during the attack: “There’s no escape [...] We’re coming for you. We’re coming in like white on rice for Pelosi, Nadler, Schumer, even you AOC. We’re coming to take you out and pull you out by your hair.”1 A reporter asked Alexandria her response. Here’s what she had to say: “I think it's been very clear for a very long time that I work with people who wish me harm … who wish me physical harm, who wish me political harm, who wish me harm – and it’s not just Representative Loudermilk. You have many members of Congress who have specifically used my name to incite violence and this has been happening well before the 6th. Many people experience the 6th in very different ways. I experienced it as a culmination of the violent rhetoric, not a first-time or a one-time spike.” AOC interview It’s sad, but true. These attacks are not new. Last year, Representative Paul Gosar – a Republican from Arizona – tweeted an animated video depicting him killing Alexandria.2 The House passed a resolution to censure Rep. Gosar for his actions, but his Republican colleagues defended him. Representative Ted Yoho called Alexandria “a f— b—” on the steps of the Capitol, meanwhile Representative Marjory Taylor Greene chased after Alexandria screaming and stalked her office with fellow insurrectionists.3 These attacks are not new, but they’re equally alarming. Alexandria is a target because our opponents know how powerful our movement is. Can you help us continue to support Alexandria’s work in Congress by chipping in another $50 or whatever you can today?
