<p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said she was worried that former President Donald Trump might throw her in jail if he were to win reelection in November.</p>
<p>The New York Congresswoman made an appearance on <a href="https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/on-with-kara-swisher-aoc-interview-ai-gaza-insults-and-trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kara Swisher&#8217;s podcast</a>, &#8220;On with Kara Swisher,&#8221; and she claimed — among other things — that Trump had run his entire 2016 campaign against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the promise to &#8220;lock her up.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ocasio-Cortez then went on to argue that since Trump had promised to lock Clinton up — in spite of the fact that he ultimately did not make an effort while president to do so — he could be reasonably expected to round up anyone who disagreed with him and throw them in jail if he was elected again.</p>
<p>&#8220;I mean, it sounds nuts, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy threw me in jail. He’s out of his mind. I mean, he did his whole first campaign around ‘lock her up.’ This is his motto,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;I take him at his word when he says that he’s going to round up people. I take him at his word when he threatens journalists. I take him at his word. I feel like what we saw in his first presidency was an amuse-bouche to what his intentions are. He has learned from his mistakes of appointing professionals, and he will not make that mistake next time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump, as Fox News Digital <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/aoc-frets-donald-trump-would-throw-her-jail-he-wins-hes-out-his-mind" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, recently told host Sean Hannity that he did not plan to use the Justice Department against even President Joe Biden if he were to win in November, despite a number of people claiming that he would.</p>
<p>&#8220;Number one, they&#8217;re wrong. It has to stop, because otherwise, we&#8217;re not going to have a country,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Look, when this election is over, based on what they&#8217;ve done, I would have every right to go after them, and it&#8217;s easy, because it&#8217;s Joe Biden and you see all the criminality, all of the money that&#8217;s going into the family and him, all of this money from China, from Russia, from Ukraine.&#8221;</p>
<p>Others pointed out that Ocasio-Cortez — who previously claimed that her critics wished they could <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aoc-lashes-out-at-critics-after-being-caught-in-florida-republicans-are-mad-they-cant-date-me" target="_blank" rel="noopener">date her</a> — was off base in claiming that Trump would throw her in jail.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is what you call shock theater. Without evidence, @AOC alleged that Donald Trump would throw her in jail if he wins the election,&#8221; Gianno Caldwell posted.</p>

<p>&#8220;She takes Trump &#8216;at his word&#8217; for threats he’s not made, but ones AOC has imagined: &#8216;I take him at his word when he says that he’s going to round up people. I take him at his word when he threatens journalists. I take him at his word,&#8217; Ocasio-Cortez said,&#8221; Brian Doherty <a href="https://x.com/BDOH/status/1800143757918302348" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>.</p>
