AOC is ARRESTED outside the Supreme Court during Roe v. Wade protest (and pretends she is in cuffs): Progressive is nabbed alongside Squad members for blocking traffic
Progressive Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and other Democratic members of Congress were arrested outside of the Supreme Court on Tuesday protesting the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Ocasio-Cortez was seen walking escorted away by police with her hands crossed behind her back, as if she were in handcuffs, but she was not. At one point she uncrossed her hands and raised her fists to the other protesters. Other members seen being detained by officers include include Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., Nydia Velazquez, D-N.Y., Jackie Speier, D-Calif., Sarah Jacobs, D-Calif., Katherine Clark, D-Mass., Andy Levin, D-Mich., Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., Jan Schakowksy, D-Ill., and Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-Calif. Abortion rights protesters have gathered outside the Supreme Court nearly every day since the overturning of Roe in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization in June. A total of 34 arrests - 16 of them members of Congress - were made at the demonstration Tuesday, according to Capitol Police. About two dozen members of Congress were protesting outside the high court when police told them over a megaphone that they were participating in 'illegal demonstration activity.' 'Cease and desist or you will be arrested,' police warned. 'It is against the law to block traffic, so police are going to give our standard three warnings before they start making arrests,' Capitol Police tweeted ahead of the incident. 'I’ve just been arrested at the Supreme Court protesting the horrendous overturn of Roe v Wade. This is the time to stand up, speak out, and not shy away when seeking justice and equality,' Maloney wrote on Twitter after the arrest. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe and tossed the abortion decision back to the states and Congress, Ocasio-Cortez called on pro-choice advocates to get 'into the streets' to express their outrage at the court's 'illegitimate' decision. Late last month she suggested that conservative justices should be impeached and went after her own party for having a 'weak strategy' on fighting Republican efforts to restrict abortion. Link |

Doesn't the government have a "special place" where they house people who protest at government buildings in DC?

Nothing but a fucking staged photo op like everything else she does.
Remember the "crying at the fence of the detainment center" on the border that turned out to be completely staged? |

Too bad they won't charge her with insurrection, even if just for the lulz.

Quoted: It's probably all staged, set up by her. She should have asked for some gentle swats from a night stick to get more sympathy. View Quote Attached File |
