Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez offered National Guard troops her office to sleep in after US Capitol police moved their rest area to a nearby car park.
Politico reported on Wednesday evening that National Guard troops drafted in to protect the Capitol after the Pro-Trump riots on 6 January had been asked to move their rest area away from the buildings and into a garage.
Thousands of guardsmen were called up following the riots to help secure President Joe Bidens inauguration ceremony, and have continued patrolling the Capitol amid ongoing fears of violence.
The troops have been pictured resting and sleeping in Capitol hallways while on their break, but return to a local hotel once their long shifts are over.

Generous offer but I don't believe her office is that large.

Not to take away anything from AOC
