Before Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is to appear on “CBS This Morning” Friday to discuss dealing with trauma, she hosted what amounted to a group therapy session for “survivors” of the January 6 storming of the Capitol Building, kicking off a special order hour during which members of the House could share their stories from the attack. Here’s how it went:
AOC is on the floor of the House saying that anyone who questions the claims of "survivors" — because everyone in Congress is apparently a "survivor" now — is guilty of exacerbating the "trauma" of ALL "survivors" everywhere in the country. Again, this is insanely manipulative

AOC's voice is quivering as she concludes this bizarre group therapy session. She has successfully imported the language of self-confessional therapeutic moralism into the House, with full support from Dem Leadership. Gotta give her credit for achieving her objectives! pic.twitter.com/j0CCw8NyGz
hese struggle sessions are nauseating. It’s as if the Oberlin student government pulled up stakes and moved to DC.
