While far-left ‘Squad’ member, Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is denying that her faux ‘arrest’ outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday was “performative art,” evidence is growing that the entire fake arrest charade was orchestrated by a far-left dark money group — Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund.
During the protest, AOC and another far-left ‘Squad’ member, Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar placed their arms behind their backs to appear to be arrested and handcuffed by police as they were escorted away while being live streamed by their aides.
But they weren’t handcuffed at all, and it was a ‘non-custodial arrest’ — meaning they were briefly detained and fined a whopping $50.00.
And the entire charade was concocted.
Roughly 30 minutes before the detention of pro-abortion protesters outside the Supreme Court — which included more than a dozen Democratic lawmakers — a staffer for Omar, Jeremy Slevin, tweeted about the plan, explaining the incident would be live-streamed:
Members of Congress, including @IlhanMN will be participating in a civil disobedience at the Supreme Court, potentially including arrests, shortly. 1 PM ET/12 PM CT.
Once Capitol police briefly detained Omar, Slevin posted video of her via the livestream.
But despite her initial denials, AOC later admitted who was behind the whole show. The lefty representatives were just willing clowns in the Soros circus. As the Blaze reported:
“This was an activist-led civil disobedience, where activists & organizers from [the far-left Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund] + others asked members of Congress to submit themselves for arrest in front of the Supreme Court,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Instagram.
The Washington Examiner described the Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund as a “progressive dark money group funded by billionaire George Soros.” CPD Action Fund is the sister organization of Center for the Popular Democracy.
While technically, the lawmakers and others detained during the protest were arrested, none were handcuffed. They were simply fined.
“As is standard for peaceful, planned protests, those who were arrested were ticketed and released on site,” a Capitol police spokesperson told the Washington Examiner.
The Blaze added:
“Nobody was handcuffed, as is standard for a noncustodial arrest. Everyone was arrested for Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding (DC Code § 22–1307),” the spokesperson added. “They have up to 15 days to pay a $50 fine or they can have a hearing.”
So much for the big civil rights protesters and their big arrests at the Supreme Court. Can we say lefty Soros fabricated malarkey? ALD

Why do we allow this man to have any involvement with our country. Several other countries have banned him & his $$. Let’s do the same. He is just like an armadillo-sticking his crusty nose where it doesn’t belong & leaving a mess.
I agree. It’s time to stop Soros from any further meddling with our country. Question is: How?
As long as the left wing is in the majority in our government,nothing will be done about him. His favorite stooges went along with his phony ” protest” and faked being arrested for their social media followers. Those people are so stupid they don’t even realize how they are being played by him.
I think the question is more like, why do we allow communist organizations and communist fund raisers and communists in general to be in the government at all? Used to have the House Un-American Activities Committee to investigate and oversee such things. Now we have 25% of the House of Representatives in the Progressive Caucus, a Marxist, socialist, democrat, organization to which many of these arrested representatives belong. AOC, as well as Tlaib say they are Democratic Socialists, a commie front organization in America.
Also, how can you have a planned protest that will be against the law? Who would give such a protest a permit? If it is against the law to protest outside the courts, who would give you a permit? Who would let you “plan” to do an illegal thing by giving you a permit? I guess that’s who’s responsible for this propaganda opportunity for these traitors. That was probably Pelosi’s Capital Police or the court itself.
Calling her a star makes you one sick puppy.
Those ignorant sows are too stupid to understand they are bieng “ used” by Soros! AOC is the dumbest of the lot by far, she “ thinks” she is relevant. What a fool, and she proves it daily! You can’t fis stupid! She and the rest of the squad needs to just go away. They are doing NOTHING for the people they are supposed to represent. How did they get elected? Soros bought them in! Once they are of no more use to him, they will be discarded like the garbage they are! Hopefully, they will be voted out come November. The people in their districts deserve so much better!
