  1. Yeah I love people that say just get over it or stop being depressed like the brain doesn’t work like that there’s no off switch to emotions

    1. So you believe her?
      I must ask… why is it that she just remembered it as she has been asked to apologies for wrongfully claiming that one of her associates tried to kill her?
      Sure sounds like she is trying to sidetrack away from her follies O_o

  2. Sounds like AOC may not be mentally or emotionally sound enough to fulfill her obligations of her title.
    She needs to step down… for her own good O_o

    1. lol are you trying to say that getting emotional about a traumatic event makes you incapable of performing job duties? that is the dumbest thing I’ve read all week. congratulations! 👏

    2. @Andrew C. It just came out that she lied about being at the DC riot.
      She was not there.
      Her life was never in danger.
      No body was trying to kill her.
      Her stories of hiding from rioters that day were all lies.
      Now she comes up with this??
      I’m sorry, but maybe it did happen, maybe it didn’t. How I’m I to know??.
      This lady is a proven blatant liar O_o

    1. What. Your disgusting. You may not like her but your making rude remarks about something that happens and changes people’s lives forever. Grow up

    2. Actually Doug’s not wrong…. There was no real emotion behind her “accusations” I have known a few people that are victims and everytime they talk about it they relive it shame on her for lieing!

    3. @jimmy day shame on you for picking deciding who’s gone more believable. Pointing out my mistakes in spelling doesn’t change that.

  3. I’m sorry but I can’t believe anything that comes out of AOC’s mouth, she lies constantly. Evan rachel wood is telling the truth, you can feel it and see it. But aoc, hell nah.

  4. Now this woman think fighting will heal her trauma? All the time they want to fight with anyone even if he is not guilty !

    1. 🤣 maybe they were police came to protect her but she came with this claim and now she says she had previous problem that effect her actions

  5. anyone ever wonder why it is that whenever someone is caught red-handed as a sex offender – they always claim they were abused? Seems to me that IF that was the case – they’d do EVERYTHING in their power NEVER to see it done to someone else – NOT perpetrate it onto another child! I call BS on this one!

    1. Yea in 20 years there’s gonna be a supreme court nominee she doesn’t like and it’ll be him but she won’t have very specific details.

    1. To cover her narrative….. “I was so scared! Ted cruz was trying to have me killed! And the protesters were going to r*pe me in the @$$ like I do the country before they killed me and I was already a victim before” you believe me don’t you?

  6. Ms Smollett 😂 She’s using tricks after caught lying again and again, and again. She wasn’t in there at all! She can’t be poor Latina but from wealthy family, underprivileged but has every opportunity, working girl bartender waitress, never needed a bill paid. What’s next the Kevin Spacey? I’m gay so I get a pass, I grew up in a different culture or time of Weinstein, I’m sick and need help. I’m a victim, so I struggle being believed? What? Then don’t lie! You weren’t in building or danger, nobody was hurt. How fearful if literally was elsewhere! They just lie, never mind being traitors and frauds of debt banking masters? I represent wealth and their wishes but I’m also on the side of poor? No you are not, none are or they don’t get in. Elections are controlled funded and exclude real decent actual representation. Wake up! They aren’t good or respectable, not ever going to work for your interests, ever! Boo hoo! 😭 She’s the abuser of facts!
