.@AOC’s Comms Director here. Right-wing accounts are taking the last tweet from this old thread on the ‘defund’ mvmnt & twisting it to imply AOC supports violence like what’s happening at the Capitol. We asked @Twitter to stop the misinfo, but as we wait, you can help with a RT.
Reminder that this is what Capitol Police did to disabled peaceful protestors three years ago who simply wanted better healthcare.
