Yesterday, I broke the story that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) wasn’t actually in the Capitol building during the actions that went down on Jan. 6, she was in the Cannon House Office building, about a six minute walk away.
People hadn’t realized that when she told her Instagram story of her ‘near death experience’ of being terrified by a police officer knocking on her door that she wasn’t in the Capitol building. They assumed, based on what she was saying, that she was in the Capitol building. The story went everywhere and trended on Twitter.
