Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is sharing why she did not attend President Joe Biden’s inauguration.
CNN’s Chris Cuomo pointed out Biden’s inauguration was supposed to reflect unity and asked Ocasio-Cortez to explain why she was not there.
“I think we also had very real security concerns,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We still don’t yet feel safe around other members of Congress.”
Cuomo asked her how many of her colleagues also do not feel safe.
She answered, “I think a very considerable amount.”
Cuomo pressed her on whether she really believes her colleagues “may really do you dirty.”
Ocasio-Cortez said Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) tried to bring a gun to the House floor.
Watch the video below:
Cuomo asked her if there is a possibility he is bringing the gun on the House floor to protect lawmakers from insurrectionists or if she believes there is a chance she “could be the enemy.”
“The moment you bring a gun onto the House floor in violation of rules you put everyone around you in danger,” Ocasio-Cortez explained.
She continued, “It is irresponsible, it is reckless, but beyond that, it is the violation of rules.”
Ocasio-Cortez made it clear she does not “really care” what the intention is behind bringing a gun on the House floor.
