Man Who Stormed Capitol Threatened To Assassinate Democrat AOC

A Texas man who participated in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 was charged Saturday. He had made death threats against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
Garret Miller, 36, from the Dallas suburb of Richardson, was arrested Wednesday after weeks of using social media platforms to reply to various political figures with bellicose statements and discussing his actions in the attack. According to court documents, Miller threatened the police officer who shot one of the rioters.
On Jan. 6, Ocasio-Cortez shared a tweet that read, “Impeach.”
“Assassinate AOC,” Miller replied using his now-suspended Twitter account.
The buzz really ramped up when big names caught wind of Second Wind. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for instance, visited Perez’s studio in August; this month, she wore a Second Wind mask and chain when she was sworn in for her second term in Congress. JLo has also been photographed in a Second Wind design. Perez said that Bloomingdale’s, Amazon and Selfridges are among the major retailers that have asked to carry her products, but she has turned them away. She isn’t ready to scale her business to that level. (As of now, Perez works with 40 artisans, and her sisters handle logistics and marketing.)
