Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Thursday accused Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who was raped when she was 16 years old, of silencing abuse victims after the freshman GOP congresswoman highlighted the pair’s whereabouts during the breach of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
“All I can think of [with] folks like her dishonestly claiming that survivors are exaggerating are the stories of veterans and survivors in my community who deny themselves care they need & deserve bc they internalize voices like hers saying what they went through ‘wasn’t bad enough,'” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in reference to Mace.
