Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) pretended to be handcuffed while being escorted by police from a protest at the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
You can’t make this up.
The New York congresswoman LARPed as a victimized martyr activist, appearing as if she was handcuffed with her hands behind her back while being perp-walked from a pro-abortion demonstration.

But AOC broke her LARP when she raised her fist in solidarity with fellow demonstrators before resuming pretending to be handcuffed.

AOC will probably tweet soon about how she was nearly a victim of police brutality.

Fellow “Squad” members Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) were also reportedly “arrested” along with several other progressive lawmakers.

It’ll be interesting to see if AOC puts out a statement about this ridiculous stunt and whether she’ll attempt to spin it as an act of bravery in the face of police brutality.
