AOC: Rewatching the Jan. 6 Footage Was ‘an Incredibly Evocative and Physically Resonant Moment’
‘It was like bringing everything from that day back again’
EXCERPT:
OCASIO-CORTEZ: “And so, I think, especially in the wake of that year, of people trying to minimize what had happened, rewatching that footage was, I think, just — it was like bringing everything from that day back again, not just for myself, but I also know for staff that were there that day, for support staff that were working there, for members of Congress that were there, and for the entire country that — including many veterans that were watching on television, wondering, how could this be us? And so, I think it was an incredibly evocative and physically resonant moment for many of us. But it was a reminder of how severe the moments of January 6 was and that this was an attempted coup of the United States of America."
