AOC Says as a Sexual Assault Survivor, Capitol Insurrection ‘Compounded Trauma’

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to Instagram Monday night to explain her experience of the Jan. 6 insurgence at the Capitol, and disclosed that she is a sexual assault survivor. She made her comments after she and her colleagues were told to "move on" following the Capitol riots and to abandon efforts to again impeach Donald Trump, saying it reminded her of tactics used against abuse survivors. It was the first time the 31-year-old Congresswoman publicly disclosed that she had been sexually assaulted.
