AOC: I’m in constant danger

- Thomas Barrabi

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s Chris Wallace she has lived in a constant state of fear for her well-being since being elected.

The New York Democrat described how her concern over threats has affected her life during an appearance on Friday’s edition of CNN’s “Who’s Talking To Chris Wallace?”

“Do you feel your life is in danger?” Wallace asked.

“Absolutely, I felt that my life has been in danger since the moment that I won my primary election in 2018. And it became especially intensifie­d when I was first brought into Congress in 2019,” OcasioCort­ez (right) responded.

Wallace pressed her for more details, asking if that meant she was “looking over [her] shoulder while walking down the street.”

“It means when I wake up in the morning, I hesitate to walk my dog. It means when I come home, I have to ask my fiancé to come out to where my car is to walk me to just from my car to my front door,” AOC replied.

“It means that there’s just . . . a general dispositio­n where you kind of feel like there’s almost a static electricit­y around you. And you’re just always just looking around, your head is just on a swivel, going to a restaurant, walking down the street,” she added.
