Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed during an interview on Monday that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s rally in New York City over the weekend was a “hate rally” that was about “inciting violence” against minorities.
Ocasio-Cortez made the remarks during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” while talking about the event at Madison Square Garden.
“This was a hate rally,” she claimed. “This was not just a presidential rally. This was also not just a campaign rally. I think it’s very important for people to understand that these are mini January 6 rallies. These are mini ‘Stop The Steal’ rallies.”
She claimed that the rally was meant to “prime an electorate” to reject the results of the election if Trump does not win.
“That’s what they’re doing when they are inciting violence and hatred against Latinos, against black Americans, against Americans who don’t have children,” she claimed.
She said that when looking at Trump’s rally over the weekend, Americans needed to “connect the dots” to the January 6 riot nearly a full four years ago.

AOC also suggested that Trump was behind a manipulated video that was posted on social media showing someone ripping up ballots.
The FBI said Russia was behind the video, not a political campaign.
