AOC is accused of spreading conspiracy theories about the "near-death" experience

Following reports that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‘s (D-N.Y.) was not in the U.S. Capitol Building and in her Cannon Office Building office on January 6, the hashtag “AlexandriaOcasioSmollett” has been trending on Twitter, with conservatives referencing disgraced actor Jussie Smollett’s staged hate crime in 2019.
As you can see in the tweets embedded below, conservative activists criticize Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's attempt to play the victim for political gain when American society is more divided than ever.

AOC lied about being in the Capitol building during her “near death” experience.

She was in the Cannon House building, which was not breached.

Anything for attention.

This is a weird fact-check from Snopes. I mean, they say that "what's true" is EXACTLY what the DW tweet says. Then they call the DW tweet "misleading." Almost as though they're just a Left-wing spin outfit. pic.twitter.com/IvkD8wiguz

I believe AOC is using hindsight to create a narrative

I believe she is 100% lying

She knows how we feel about the breeching of the Capitol but no one at the time knew that would happen, security was lax and Congress remained in session even after the doors were breeched https://t.co/CrDkxeJmNd

I am not calling @AOC a liar, I just want to point out the contrast from her statement on Twitter the day of the Capitol Riot to now, almost a month later.

A much different picture painted. pic.twitter.com/86B5Ylb6Ta

On a day in which #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett is trending, please never forget the time that @AOC staged a photo shoot dressed in all white at a parking lot to spread lies about immigrant children in cages.

Faking her own attempted murder was the next logical step. pic.twitter.com/y8mNNowMGy

If you are in the mainstream media and you fail to honestly fact check a politicians story, guaranteed someone else will & make you look biased, incompetent, foolish or all 3. @JackPosobiec https://t.co/IYbuR5Kfyx

BREAKING: Area lady who says Ted Cruz tried to murder her and calls everyone who doesn’t like her white supremacists has no sense of irony. https://t.co/ami6P866Qy
