WASHINGTON, DC—In a shocking turn of events, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has claimed that she was nearly killed by the news that former President Donald Trump was not assassinated during his recent Pennsylvania rally. The incident, which has left the nation reeling, has sparked renewed debate over the role of political violence in the United States. In a tearful interview with CNN, AOC recounted the harrowing experience, stating, “I was sitting in my office, minding my own business, when I received the news that Trump had survived the assassination attempt. I was so overcome with grief and despair that I collapsed on the floor, unable to breathe. It was only through the quick actions of my staff that I was able to receive the medical attention I needed to survive.” The congresswoman, who has long been a vocal critic of the former president, went on to explain that the news of Trump’s survival had sent her into a state of shock and disbelief, as she had been “so certain” that he would be killed during the rally. “I had spent weeks preparing myself for the news of his death, and when it didn’t come, I was completely and utterly devastated,” she said. In the wake of the incident, AOC has called for increased measures to protect the mental health of political figures, stating that the constant threat of violence and assassination attempts is taking a toll on the well-being of those in the public eye. “We cannot continue to ignore the psychological impact of these events on our elected officials,” she declared. “It is time for us to come together and find a way to ensure that our leaders are able to serve their constituents without fear for their lives.” Former President Trump, who was injured on his right ear during the assassination attempt, has been quick to seize on AOC’s comments, using them as an opportunity to further demonize his political opponents. In a tweet sent shortly after the interview, Trump declared, “These people are so desperate to see me dead that they’re willing to collapse in despair when they learn I’m still alive. It’s truly sad, and a testament to the hatred and division that exists in this country.” As the nation continues to grapple with the fallout from the assassination attempt and AOC’s near-death experience, one thing is certain: the debate over the role of political violence in the United States will continue to be a contentious and deeply divisive issue for years to come.
