Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) took a victory lap on social media after blocking legislation that would have boosted security for Supreme Court justices and their families.
Although it passed the U.S. Senate with bipartisan support, Ocasio-Cortez and others have stalled the Supreme Court protection bill in the House. (RELATED: Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany Demolishes AOC’s Latest Hypocrisy)
The congresswoman’s self-congratulatory video came after authorities charged Nicholas Roske with attempting to murder Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Mediaite further reports:
Ocasio-Cortez posted a video of her running to stop the legislation from passing. According to her, lawmakers were trying to pass the bill on a “fly out” day when members of Congress return to their districts. These days, the congresswoman said, are filled with “maximum hijinks” from leadership in both major parties.
“Fly out days are also days of maximum hijinks from party leadership, both Democratic and Republican Party leadership,” she explained.
Ocasio-Cortez also objected to the bill being passed with unanimous consent as it would keep the names of lawmakers off of it. She objected to the bill being passed as long as gun reform measures are stalled.
“I wake up this morning and I start to hear murmurs that there is going to be an attempt to pass the Supreme Court Supplemental Protection Bill the day after gun safety legislation for schools and kids and people is stalled. Oh, so we can pass protections for us and here easily, right? But we can’t pass protections for everyday people? I think not.”
It’s conceivable that Ocasio-Cortez will continue to impede the bill despite Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saying that the House would take up the bill “at the beginning of next week” following the attempt on Kavanaugh’s life.

She is not even worthy of my answering this, but I will say what I think of her. She is a spoiled brat Bi..h and no body cares what the twit has to say. Where did come from anyway, and I hope the people that voted for her are really proud of them selves for inflicting such ignorance on the rest of us.
I have to agree, she isn’t worth the time to respond about her. Maybe we the people should tell our elected officials that we want all protection for all members of both the house and senate to be stopped. Let them pay for their own protection since they make loads of money. You would probably hear them crying from coast to coast.
I wish this was her house and her life that was in jeopardy. I’ll be this spoiled little B…h would be jumping through hoops to get protection,. She is so worthless and I hope the stupid people that voted for her are happy. Just to bad they had to inflict her on the rest of us. Please don’t do that again.
Maybe someone should doxx her home address and organize a “mostly peaceful” protest to see exactly how she would respond.
OMG! Doncha know, she was almost murdered (even though she wasn’t anywhere near the building in question) during the (un)bloody, (un)armed insurrection? So, of course, the (actual, admitted) attempted murder of a SCOTUS justice should be condoned by good Progressive Socialists like her. But hey, her entertainment value is almost priceless! Better than watching the monkey house occupants throw feces!
AOC is an anti-American idiot. Would she feel the same way if members of the Right gathered in front of her house or the homes of the Left following Justices? I guess she is just too immature to see both sides. This is why she shouldn’t be in any decision making position for the country,
AOC IS AMONG THE LEAST INTELLIGENT IN GOVERNMENT. SHE NEVER SEEMS TO TO GIVE FORETHOUGHT TO HER RIDICULOUS COMMENTS.
Sounds like AOC has been listening to her advisors again! A man and woman that are known as bar flies from her old bar of employment!
Most don’t know this. When Xi den would visit nyc, he’d stop in and she’d fix his double Southern Comfort manhattans, and fix something else too. The rest is history; and now you know.
Almost Occasionally-Cogent is that twit (yeah, I’m a bad speller) who would eat a turd sandwich because she didn’t like broccoli.
IMO, AOC is a %$# c—
The definition of an airhead is AOC. She is downright dumb, what were her constituents thinking when they elected her. Heaven help us if they are as dumb as she is but what else could it be?
Dear aoc. (Lower case letters = total dis) please go back to Cuba or p.r. Or wherever you were hatched. Thanks.
The nation needs to stop electing prime spoiled idiots.
Her attitude is consistent with the leftist desire to stack the court.
Encourage violent lunatics to murder the justices, then replace them with far-left ideologues.
In no time in history has the left ever stopped being violent just because they got into power. They use violence to intimidate the populace when they are not in power, then when they get power, they use violence to suppress opposition.
AOC’s attitudes are only too typical of leftist dictators.
See Dems WANT violence on USSC
It’s sad that she has to be so mentally limited to think she’s right. Then I also have to question Boston U. for giving her a pedigree. SMH.
no protection for any pol. . .that is the ultimate accountability–if you have to vote as if your life depends on it–because it does. supremes are different–they are supposed to be rendering judgments from the constitution side. . .that isn’t meant to be popular or a public referendum, which is why justices are appointed, not elected.
AOC I an ignorant, foolish, big mouth! Always has been, always will be! I bet she has HER share of security people around her at all times. She WANTS the justices killed off, so the demonrats can put in the leftist, communist judges who will rule in their favor! She is a bought and paid for Soros operative, no one in their right mind would vote for her! If the people of her district will open their eyes and vote her out, they would be doing everyone a favor. She has NO business bieng in our congress, or any political office! Sandy, go back to the bar where you belong! You don’t belong in “ polite society”, as you say about republicans. Hope it bites you in the arse big time!
Someone needs to put her and the ENTIRE DEMONocratic caucus in the House out to pasture. This vote tells you that THEY WANT THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES TO DIE. This vote is so unacceptable and shows just how far the Democratic party has sunk. They are unAmerican. I wish we could ship every Democrat and Democrat voter to central Africa so they could get a taste of reality and America could become the nation that it used to be BB (before Biden) As an American, I am so thoroughly disgusted with my country and the path to Hell it is on.
I wonder if her legislations and proposals will now pass SCOTUS muster.
The dismal performancy of President Biden and the Democrats has been noted by ALL voters and I suspect pay back time will show up next election when the Democrats willl lose big time. All votgers do not favor Demmocratic performances ti date
Lots of trials after the war. Lots of punishments. Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth by Commie Representatives in the House. Wonder what AOC has in her bug out bag? Whatever it is, she just better have one.
AOC continualy reminds me of a petulant child. Will she and her distric ever grow up?
Dems want justices killed day 1
