'We are on the precipice, legally, of fascism,' warned Rep. AOC, who added that 'no law was ever passed to prevent this from happening again.'
The GOP, said the Democratic congresswoman,"has only grown more supportive and defending of what happened" on Jan. 6, 2021.Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned Thursday night that the U.S. stands"on the precipice... of fascism" and that an attack on the Capitol like the one that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021 could happen again.by the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
"There is such a concerted ring-wing operation to try to convince everybody that [the Jan. 6 riot and attack] didn't happen, that it wasn't a big deal," Ocasio-Cortez said. But, she stressed,"This was an attempted coup of the United States of America." "Those attacks killed people, traumatized people," the congresswoman said. And although Trump"promised his own people that he would pardon them... now they're going to prison," she said, adding that the former president"only cares about himself."
The focus right now, said Ocasio-Cortez, should be"on the bigger picture, which is that legally, structurally, institutionally very little has changed. Virtually nothing has changed" the behavior that lead to the Capitol attack.
