‘It’s Hard’: AOC Comforts Tlaib As She Weeps On House Floor Recounting Death Threats

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) comforted her fellow “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) as she wept on the House floor Thursday recounting the death threats she has received since taking office and explaining how hard it is to be a Muslim woman in Congress.

During a special order hour that Ocasio-Cortez organized, Tlaib and several other members of Congress told the stories about their personal experiences during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
