AOC Cries Conspiracy Theories About Her Arrest

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said this week that Republicans are pushing conspiracy theories about her Tuesday arrest, which occurred during a pro-abortion protest staged in Washington D.C.

“Republicans’ favorite hobby is to make conspiracy theories out of everything to distract you and keep you from talking about what’s actually important, which is the fact that they are trying to take away your right to bodily autonomy,” she said in a video posted to her Instagram account.

“If I was faking that, why would I intentionally fist pump somebody? It’s so silly,” she added, smiling at the camera.
