Fox News’s Tucker Carlson is taking a swipe at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) after she claimed she was afraid of being raped during the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, telling her to “get a therapist.”
Referring to her as “Sandy Cortez” during an episode of his show Thursday, Carlson asked, “Does she ever stop talking about herself, by the way?”
He mentioned Ashli Babbitt, a supporter of former President Donald Trump and Air Force veteran, who was shot and killed by an officer during the riot.
Carlson continued, “She explained she wasn’t simply afraid of being murdered by Ashli Babbitt. She was also worried about being raped.”
The Fox News host proceeded to play a video of Ocasio-Cortez’s comments.
The Democratic lawmaker told CNN’s Dana Bash, “I didn’t think that I was just going to be killed. I thought other things were going to happen to me as well.”
Bash responded, “It sounds like what you are telling me right now is you didn’t only think you were going to die, you thought you were going to be raped.”
Ocasio-Cortez said, “Yeah, I thought I was.”
