AOCâs posse allegedly assaulted a reporter - and then she lied about it.
Independent journalist Nick Sortor was shoved by one of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezâs staffers when he attempted to question her on the migrant crisis.
The video begins with AOC jokingly waving to Sortor as she walked past him. âAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez, your district is really suffering under the pressure of the border crisis. Why are - â Sortor began to ask as one of AOCâs staffers (unsuccessfully) stood in front of him to stop him from following. âDonât touch me,â Sortor says as he walks past, asking AOC âYour district is very much suffering from the border crisis. Why will you notâ - and then another staffer trying to block him.
Sortos is then shoved against the wall near the top of the steps, and reacts shouting: âDude, fâing get your hands off me.â
Near the end of the video, when he finally catches up to AOC again, she decides to lay and demand that Sortor stop touching her, which he never did.
Watch:
Following the incident, Sortor said he would press charges depending on how team AOC responds to the incident. âTheir response to this will determine whether or not I pursue charges against the staffer. He was attempting to literally drag me down the stairs, as you can see in the video. All for asking questions with a camera in hand,â he explained in a tweet.
