Okay so yes you should be watching the AOC livestream
(AOC is describing people/a man breaking into her congressional office the day of the Capitol riot and her hiding in her bathroom, screaming "Where is she? Where is she?"
"I thought I was going to die,” she says.
"I have never been quieter in my entire life."
