<p>Far-left Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) were mocked Tuesday afternoon for appearing to pretend that they were handcuffed after they were arrested for blocking traffic by the U.S. Supreme Court during a pro-abortion protest.</p>
<p>&#8220;We made a total of 35 arrests for Crowding, Obstructing or Incommoding (DC Code § 22–1307),&#8221; the U.S. Capitol Police <a href="https://twitter.com/CapitolPolice/status/1549477982187700227">said</a> in a statement posted to Twitter. &#8220;That arrest number includes 17 Members of Congress.&#8221;</p>
<p>The other lawmakers that were arrested included Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Madeline Dean (D-PA), Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA), Assistant Speaker of the House Katherine Clark (D-MA), Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Andy Levin (D-MI), Rep. Alma Adams (D-NC), Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX), and Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL).</p>
<p>The aspect of the arrests that received the most attention was how Ocasio-Cortez and Omar seemingly pretended that they were handcuffed as they were escorted out of the area.</p>

<p><em>Notable responses to the videos included:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bret Baier</strong>, Fox News: &#8220;Just noting &#8211; they weren’t handcuffed &#8211; just decided to hold their hands like that.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Larry Sanger</strong>, co-founder of Wikipedia: &#8220;Gee, as a lawmaker and representative of law in this country, I would have expected you to understand that you are entirely free to protest in support of abortion rights—as long as you aren&#8217;t blocking traffic while doing so. But go ahead, be proud of your childish arrest.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Brit Hume</strong>, Fox News: &#8220;Note the handcuff pose, abandoned only to raise her fist in the air. The queen of gestures.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Harry Khachatrian</strong>, Washington Examiner: &#8220;AOC, while being calmly escorted by an officer, holding her hands behind her back pretending she is handcuffed is the most @AOC thing ever.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>John Cardillo</strong>, political commentator: &#8220;They just want to date her.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Caleb Hull</strong>, digital strategist: &#8220;The funniest part about this video of AOC being escorted out by Capitol Police is her pretending to be in handcuffs. She is a professional victim.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Julie Gunlock</strong>, Director of Independent Women&#8217;s Network: &#8220;AOC pretending like she is in cuffs is all you need to know about this fraud. Her image is what matters, not the people she was elected to serve.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Tom Elliott</strong>, founder of Grabien: &#8220;Politicians are ultimately all just failed actors.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Josh Jordan</strong>, statistician: &#8220;Compare the video of AOC and Omar above showing they were clearly not handcuffed with the photos going viral on social media if you&#8217;re wondering why they pretended to be in handcuffs. And that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m cynical of just about everything these days&#8230; it&#8217;s all a show.&#8221;</li>
