Yesterday Def-Con News told you how dimwit Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed she almost died during the Capitol protests/riots/insurrection on January 6. It was a really funny lie, but we missed one seriously hilarious detail: she wasn’t actually in the Capitol building at the time she claims her life almost ended at the hands of protesters who were in the Capitol building.
While protesters breached the Capitol building, AOC says she hid in her office when someone who turned out to be a Capitol Police officer knocked on her door.
“And this was the moment where I thought everything was over…. I thought I was going to die,” said Ocasio-Cortez.
There’s just one problem with AOC’s brush with death: her office is not in the Capitol building and protesters never got anywhere close to her location.
JUST IN: AOC was not in the U.S. Capitol building during her “near death” experience. She claims to have been in her office, which is located in the Cannon Building.
Rioters did not breach the Cannon Building.

And here are some fun maps to show just how far away AOC was from the danger:

10/ UPDATE: @AOC now admits she was not in the Capitol when the protesters entered the building. She was in the Cannon Building where her office is located, about a six-minute walk from the Capitol Building. CHP stopped by her office to do a welfare check.https://t.co/TGInJKYESz pic.twitter.com/M6LiTAqlaH

While there is a tunnel connecting the Cannon Building to the Capitol, protesters never made it that far as confirmed by Rep. Nancy Mace:
.@AOC made clear she didn’t know who was at her door. Breathless attempts by media to fan fictitious news flames are dangerous.
My office is 2 doors down. Insurrectionists never stormed our hallway. Egregious doesn’t even begin to cover it. Is there nothing MSM won’t politicize? pic.twitter.com/Tl1GiPSOft

Because AOC was clearly lying about nearly being killed by the angry mob, #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett is trending on Twitter in honor of another famous grievance liar.
Busted in her lie, AOC apologized and promised to be more honest in the future. Just kidding, she got super-defensive and blamed everyone for being afraid of an empowered woman of color:
This is the latest manipulative take on the right.
They are manipulating the fact that most people don’t know the layout the Capitol complex.
We were all on the Capitol complex – the attack wasn’t just on the dome.
The bombs Trump supporters planted surrounded our offices too. pic.twitter.com/jI18e0XRrd

People were trying to rush and infiltrate our office buildings – that’s why we had to get evacuated in the first place.
The attempts of attackers & publicly available communications show how they tried to gain access and share location info on finding members for physical harm.

It is also very damning and revealing that the GOP is now digging both heels in a discrediting campaign.
It’s because they know they are implicated, so they’re pivoting to (again) the classic abuse playbook of “it’s not as bad as they say.”
It was that bad. It’s actually worse.

So her near death experience that never happened is actually worse than she lied about? Why didn’t she embellish her story to reflect that complete load of bullshit? She should have said Ted Cruz smashed a hole through her office door with and ax and said, “Here’s Teddy!”
This hardly qualifies as breaking news, but AOC is a lying sack of crap, who portrays herself as a victim. It’s possible that maybe she isn’t quite the empowered woman of color she claims to be if she is constantly victimized like this.
