Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said Monday she will not apologize to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, for accusing him of nearly having her “murdered” during the Capitol riot.<\/p>\n

When asked at an event in Queens whether she planned to apologize for accusing Cruz of almost having her killed and calling for his resignation, Ocasio-Cortez defended\u00a0her tweet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“That’s not the quote, and I will not apologize for what I said,” Ocasio-Cortez told\u00a0the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 28, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted a response to Cruz, who had said he agreed with AOC’s concern about the Robinhood stock-trading platform restricting a grassroots campaign to buy GameStop stock.<\/p>\n

AOC tweeted:<\/p>\n

“I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out. Happy to work w\/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed. In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, led a group of House Republicans who asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to force Ocasio-Cortez to apologize to Cruz.<\/p>\n

Cruz objected to certification of Arizona’s Electoral College vote total shortly before a mob opposing the election results stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.<\/p>\n

Last week, Ocasio-Cortez said during an Instagram video broadcast, a police officer banged on her office door, making her fear rioters had entered her congressional office building.<\/p>\n

However, AOC was dubbed “Alexandria Ocasio-Smollett” after details emerged she exaggerated the extent of her “trauma” given she was in an office building nearby and not at the Capitol itself during the riot.<\/p>\n

Actor Jussie Smollett alleged he was assaulted in Chicago by two white men wearing MAGA hats in Jan. 2019. Smollett later was indicted for filing false police reports.<\/p>\n
