(TJVNEWS.COM) Republican Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), whose office is two doors down from Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, noted that “insurrectionists” never made it to their hall when the U.S. Capitol building was breached on Jan. 6. Mace made the note while hitting the media for their attempts to “fan fictitious news flames” about the breach, as reported by Red State.

Red State reported:

AOC wasn’t even in the Capitol building where all the action was going down. If she was in her office, she was in the Cannon Building which is nearby, but a different building. But of course, many didn’t get the logistics and just assumed that she was in the Capitol building.

According to Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who has an office in the same hall as AOC, two doors away, there were never any rioters in their hall so there was never any physical danger from rioters coming in at any point.

Mace Tweeted

“[Ocasio-Cortez] made clear she didn’t know who was at her door, Breathless attempts by media to fan fictitious news flames are dangerous. My office is 2 doors down, Insurrectionists never stormed our hallway. Egregious doesn’t even begin to cover it.”

“Is there nothing MSM (mainstream media) won’t politicize?

Newsweek reported the story evidently the way AOC wanted to portray the day’s events. Based on Mace’s account, AOC appeared to lie or at the least grossly exaggerate what exactly happened about important details of the capitol seize. The rioters never made it anywhere near AOC’s office. AOC admitted the man behind her door was a police officer in her January 6th video on Twitter, where she revealed she was a survivor of sexual abuse and she has not denied that she was never actually in the capitol at the time of the riot but rather at the Cannon building, which was not breached.

AOC was taking advantage evidently that most people do not realize her office was not in the same building as the riot

The socialist congresswoman said she saw a “white man in a black beanie” who she later revealed to be a Capitol Police officer.

Newsweek reported, this account, which was mostly retracted

Ocasio-Cortez said that rioters actually entered her office, forcing her to take refuge inside her bathroom after her legislative director Geraldo Bonilla-Chavez told her to “hide, hide, run and hide.”

“And so I run back into my office,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I slam my door. There’s another kind of like back area to my office, and I open it, and there’s a closet and a bathroom. And I jump into my bathroom.”

Ocasio-Cortez said was hiding behind the door “and then I just start to hear these yells of, ‘Where is she?’”

As members of the mob banged against the door, Ocasio-Cortez believed “this was the moment where I thought everything was over.”

“And the weird thing about moments like these is that you lose all sense of time,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “In retrospect, maybe it was 4 seconds. Maybe it was 5 seconds, maybe it was 10 seconds. Maybe it was one second, I don’t know. It felt like my brain was able to have so many thoughts.”

“In between the screams and the yells,” Ocasio-Cortez added, “I mean, I thought I was going to die.”
