AOC IS A Fraud
Segment #736
This is a serious time requiring authentic smart leaders to sort things out. Whether it’s good or bad far left progressive AOC is now a leader of the Democrat party with some even starting the whispers for her to occupy the top job. If you just do a little research that should scare the crap out of you. AOC is a fraud. Her enthusiastic support of Mamdani may be revealing a far greater lean to the left than she has previously indicated. See below.
This was AOC’s big interview on CBS where she featured the “terror” she experienced on Jan 6th even though she was in ther Cannon office building a 4 to 6 minute walk from Congress.
AOC claimed she thought she was going to be killed and raped. The Cannon office building was never a target of the protestors. The target was Congress and she wasn’t there
No, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) was not in the main U.S. Capitol building (the domed structure housing the House and Senate chambers) during the January 6, 2021, riot, but she never claimed to be. She was in her office in the Cannon House Office Building, a separate structure across the street that is part of the broader Capitol complex and connected to the main Capitol via underground tunnels.In her widely viewed February 2021 Instagram Live video recounting her experience, AOC explicitly clarified her location:
“For you all to know, there’s the Capitol Hill complex, but members of Congress – except for the speaker and other very high ranking ones – don’t actually work in that building with the dome. There’s buildings right next to the dome, and that’s where our actual offices are.”
The Cannon building was indeed evacuated by Capitol Police during the events, as confirmed by on-scene reporters and contemporaneous tweets from lawmakers. Rioters did not breach the Cannon building itself, but the entire complex faced lockdowns, pipe bomb threats nearby, and general chaos.Critics (e.g., from Fox News, RedState, and some Republican lawmakers like Nancy Mace) argued she exaggerated her danger by noting she wasn't in the main breached building. However, AOC described fearing for her life due to banging on her office doors and an encounter with a Capitol Police officer (whom she initially mistook for a threat), not direct contact with rioters.In summary, the claim that AOC falsely "claimed" to be in the main Congressional building (i.e., the domed Capitol) is inaccurate—she was transparent about her location in a connected office building within the Capitol complex.
The Cannon House Office Building (where Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's office is located) is a separate structure south-southeast of the main U.S. Capitol building (the iconic domed structure that was breached by rioters on January 6, 2021).Straight-Line DistanceApproximately 300–400 meters (about 0.2–0.25 miles, or a 4–6 minute walk) from the closest points between the two buildings.Walking Distance Above GroundTypically around 500–600 meters (0.3–0.4 miles) depending on the exact entrances used, often along Independence Avenue SE or through the Capitol grounds.Key Context
The buildings are across the street from each other (separated by Independence Avenue SE and parts of the Capitol grounds).
They connect via underground pedestrian tunnels (part of the Capitol subway system), allowing lawmakers and staff to travel between them without going outside— a route commonly used and taking just a few minutes.
On January 6, 2021, while rioters breached the main Capitol, the Cannon Building was not entered by them but was evacuated due to nearby threats (including pipe bombs discovered blocks away).
These maps and views illustrate the layout of the Capitol complex, with the main domed Capitol at the center/north and the Cannon House Office Building positioned directly south of it across Independence Avenue.
The Cannon House Office Building was not the focus of direct attacks, breaches, or entries by rioters during the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.The primary target and breach occurred at the main U.S. Capitol building (the domed structure with the House and Senate chambers), where rioters broke windows, overwhelmed police, and entered around 2:00–2:15 p.m., vandalizing offices, chambers, and disrupting the electoral certification.Key Facts About the Cannon Building on Jan. 6:
It was evacuated by U.S. Capitol Police around 1:26–1:45 p.m. as a precautionary measure amid escalating threats in the Capitol complex.
The evacuation was prompted in part by the discovery of pipe bombs planted the night before (January 5) near the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters, both within blocks of the Cannon Building.
No rioters entered or breached the Cannon Building itself. Sources across timelines, fact-checks, and official reports (e.g., Wikipedia entries on the attack, PolitiFact, The New York Times, NPR, Britannica) consistently describe breaches limited to the main Capitol, with no mention of rioters reaching or targeting the separate House office buildings like Cannon, Longworth, or Rayburn.
The Cannon Building is connected to the main Capitol via underground tunnels, but rioters did not use or access these to reach it.
While the entire Capitol complex faced chaos, lockdowns, and indirect threats (including the nearby pipe bombs, which diverted law enforcement resources), the Cannon Building was not stormed, entered, or a direct focus of the mob's attacks. Lawmakers and staff there (including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) experienced fear due to the overall situation, evacuations, and police activity, but not from rioters inside their building.
AOC is a chameleon. She can be anyone, talk like anyone, or pretend to be an expert on a subject she knows nothing about. Yes, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has repeatedly described herself as a progressive and a democratic socialist, and she is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). She has embraced these labels in interviews and public statements, while clarifying that "democratic socialism" to her means expanding social programs (like Medicare for All, tuition-free college, and a Green New Deal) within a democratic framework, often comparing it to aspects of Scandinavian social democracy rather than state ownership of all industry.Key Statements from AOC
In a 2018 Meet the Press interview, she said democratic socialism is "part of what I am, not all of what I am", emphasizing it's one aspect of her broader politics.
She has explained that it involves ensuring basic dignity (e.g., no one too poor to live) and democratic control in the economy, such as worker cooperatives, but not "government owns everything."
Sources across the spectrum (Wikipedia, Business Insider, Newsweek, Politico) consistently note her self-identification as a democratic socialist and her support for policies aligned with socialism in its democratic form.
Yes, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has strongly supported Zohran Mamdani's political career and positions, including his successful 2025 campaign for New York City mayor.AOC's Endorsement and Support
In June 2025, AOC endorsed Mamdani as her top-ranked choice in the Democratic primary for NYC mayor, praising his ability to build a "coalition of working-class New Yorkers."
She campaigned alongside him, appeared at rallies (including with Bernie Sanders), and continued supporting him through the general election, where he won and was inaugurated on January 1, 2026.
Both identify as democratic socialists (Mamdani is a prominent member of the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA), and AOC has highlighted shared progressive goals like affordability for working people.
Mamdani's Far-Left Progressive PoliticsMamdani is widely described as a far-left progressive and democratic socialist, often more explicitly tied to the DSA than AOC (who retains local DSA endorsement but not national). His platform emphasizes expanding social programs through redistributive policies.Government Subsidies Financed by the Rich (and Upper Middle Class)Mamdani's key proposals include:
Free buses citywide
Universal childcare
City-owned grocery stores
Rent freezes
Higher minimum wage
These are funded primarily by:
Raising taxes on wealthy individuals (e.g., a 2% surcharge on incomes over $1 million)
Increasing corporate taxes
Critics argue this indirectly burdens the upper middle class through potential economic effects (e.g., business flight or reduced investment), though Mamdani's plans target millionaires, corporations, and high earners directly. He has described this as "taxing the rich" to make the city affordable for working-class residents.AOC has aligned with similar policies nationally (e.g., wealth taxes, expanded social safety nets), and her endorsement of Mamdani signals broad support for his approach.In summary, your statement is accurate: AOC has actively backed Mamdani's far-left democratic socialist agenda, which centers on expansive government subsidies and programs funded through progressive taxation on the wealthy and corporations.
