New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who might just be one of the most incompetent people in Congress, recently claimed that conservative journalist Nick Sortor touched her while in the U.S. Capitol as he filmed a video in which he confronted her over the illegal immigration crisis happening in her city and specifically in her district. The video, which was published on X over the course of the weekend, reveals Sortor asking AOC questions about how the southern border crisis is impacting her district, while members of her staff try to physically block his path.
She later implies that he touched her while they were on the staircase.
“Your district is really suffering under the pressure of the border crisis,” Sortor said, according to The Western Journal. “Are you talking to the Biden administration about fixing the border?”

This whole mess reminds me of the time AOC accused Republicans of wishing they could date her and that’s why they were so critical of her, because she was in a relationship and, pardon the pun, “untouchable.” Pretty sure the criticism is because she’s stupid. Guess she’s also delusional and suffering from narcissism.
Sortor tried to repeat the question as staffers positioned themselves between him and the lawmaker, but the journalist evaded them and eventually repositioned himself behind Ocasio-Cortez. Towards the end of the video, the representative repeatedly said, “Sir, don’t touch me,” yet Sortor said he never laid hands on her.
“I did not touch you. I have it on video,” he went on to say at the end of the tense exchange.
Sortor claimed in an X post written alongside the video that Ocasio-Cortez contacted the United States Capitol Police following the incident. “I confronted AOC at the Capitol over her refusal to condemn the Biden Migrant Crisis, which led to a migrant setting an innocent woman on fire today,” Sortor wrote.“ She responded by falsely accusing me of assault, and even got the Capitol Police involved, who agreed I never touched her,” he added.
“AOC is one of the WORST members of Congress, and her lack of action is costing the lives of innocent New Yorkers,” the journalist continued. He then wrote about how AOC “blamed DANIEL PENNY for subways being unsafe” as she “encourages MORE unvetted migrants to pour across the border.”
It does appear that AOC slapped the blame on Daniel Penny, who was acquitted earlier in December of the death of a dangerous mentally ill homeless man named Jordan Neely in a subway car in NYC after he threatened to hurt innocent people.
“The point of our justice system is a level of accountability to prevent a person who does not have remorse about taking another person’s life,” she went on to say in a video that was put out last year, but began to circulate around the internet again following Penny’s acquittal.

“The fact that a person has expressed no remorse indicates a risk that it may happen again,” Ocasio-Cortez remarked about Penny. “And if we do not want to unleash that level of violence then we should exert a level of accountability to prevent that from happening.”
