Republican challenging Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez exposed as a MAGA rioter

[Generic Other]

The Republican running against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in the 2022 midterm elections has been exposed by Snopes as a participant in the January 6th riots at the United States Capitol.

Snopes tracked down social media posts that showed Forte at the Capitol building on January 6th, and she even went so far as to tell other Trump supporters to "get your asses to the Capitol" at the conclusion of the "Stop the Steal" rally.

"She took selfies with a number of attendees who considered her a 'superstar,'" writes Snopes. "In a live video, she urged people at then-U.S. President Donald Trump's rally on the Ellipse to make their way to the Capitol. We even found that she entered a restricted area after the crowd knocked down barriers that law enforcement installed."

In one clip, Forte even praises her fellow Trump supporters for "storming the Capitol" as the riots were occurring.

Barred from ever running for a political office cause she's a traitor.

[NoMoreRepugs]

6. Somehow I doubt she'll get many votes anyway

What kind of margin did AOC win by?

[Hortensis]

12. :) Democratic district.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. About 72:27

Any R running against her is tilting at windmills.

[Kid Berwyn]

7. That MAGAt

Vote her down, then lock her up.

[Escurumbele]

25. Lock her up so she won't run...no need to vote her down.

[mrsadm]

32. You can run for office while in jail

I got that info from a recent Bill Mayer piece.

8. Whatever keeps your name trending.

Go for it.
Media has the power to make a nobody into a starstruuck celebrity in less than 12 hrs.

Is there a PAC & fundraiser emails sent out yet?
Money &;Media, is literally all ya need.

Meh..

[groundloop]

33. Sad but true. 45* was a master at getting attention.

10. And this

surprises anyone exactly HOW? The GQP can't get a REAL candidate to run against AOC. They're all scared to death of her...with good reason, may I add!

[Hortensis]

13. :) It's a Democratic district. What on earth could Ocasio-Cortez do to a Republican

candidate except get him or her more media exposure?

As for being afraid, they're afraid of Democrats -- with extremely good reason. As a Democrat you should be proud that they're afraid of you.

At the national level, the GOP isn't afraid in the least of "socialism"-- they pump it, and with it her name, up as a Democratic monster under the bed to scare and splinter voters away from Democrats.

Admire Ms. O-C, but for what she is. It actually belittles the reality to buy the boogie.

[George II]

18. She's not even the Democratic nominee yet.

[DinahMoeHum]

22. Forte is a REPUBLICAN, not a Democrat.

[George II]

28. I know. Read the headline and article.

[Budi]

36. Isn't that how it works? Put a D behind your name, grab free funding & voter data

All it takes..oh ya, start a PAC & a carefully placed call to the MSM papparazi.
"I'm now a Democrat!"

[LeftInTX]

26. It's a safe Democratic district

Usually they get a fringe person to run..
The person will get no funding or support from the RNC....Usually a fringe group will contribute, but the candidate won't get anywhere...

Joaquin Castro had a Republican opponent, who must have spent millions. All Castro did was: Stand on a street corner and wave and put up a few signs. Castro still got 70% of the vote.

11. Now THAT'S some oppo research!
