Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., recently shared her concerns about potential retribution from former President Trump if he were to secure victory in the upcoming November election. The revelations emerged during an interview with podcast host Kara Swisher for her show, "On with Kara Swisher," as published Thursday. The discussion spanned various topics, including the influence of technology corporations, Ocasio-Cortez's experiences with Amazon, conservative fundraising by tech moguls, as well as discussions around Israel, artificial intelligence, and the approaching presidential election.
During the interview, Ocasio-Cortez expressed her apprehension, stating, "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." The representative indicated that she takes Trump's statements seriously, asserting, "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."
AOC: "I mean, it sounds nuts, but like, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy [Trump] threw me in jail. He’s out of his mind."

Addressing Trump's rebuttal during a recent interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, in which he denied seeking retribution, Ocasio-Cortez remained steadfast, emphasizing the seriousness of her concerns. She voiced her support for Joe Biden's candidacy, emphasizing the potential repercussions of a Trump victory on the state of democracy in the United States, asserting that the country would face dire consequences if he were to secure another term.
Furthermore, Ocasio-Cortez touched upon the lack of enthusiasm around President Biden's candidacy, highlighting a possible impact on young voters' engagement in down-ballot candidates. She urged individuals to actively participate in the political process, stressing that involvement in the electoral system is crucial to advancing their interests and ensuring alignment with their values.

DemonRat libtards are the biggest hypocrites in US political charade games. But Trump is such a pussy.
He FAILED miserably to “drain the swamp” of this crony pals. Nothing to see here, move along!
More than a little paranoid are we AOC? Nothing would please me more than to see someone shut her up for good. She needs to check that ego of hers. As if Trump will have time to worry about her and only her. The absolute 💩 that comes out of her commie mouth is laughable at best.
She’s a joke…but she does belong in jail…
I’m surprised she can even spell democracy. Besides 80% of the country can’t stand to see her stupid face which is the face of her globalist masters. She must be eradicated as an infiltrating, untrustworthy politician/human who is doing the bidding of the Deep State (DS). I’d jail her on the spot if I had the power to do so. AND I’m not Republican!!
She’s a bought-and-paid-for criminal–liar, murderer (continuing to push the killshot), thief (taking money from the DS to lie profusely) and cheating whenever possible. Even worse? Her attitude of “do as I say NOT as I do” in her early2020-2021 videos was enough to know what she is and who she serves. AND it ain’t the American people of her District or the USA–that’s a FACT. Look at her record.
