Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed former president Donald Trump would round up his political enemies, including her, and throw them in prison if he takes back the White House in November.
AOC made the remarks during an appearance on journalist Kara Swisher’s podcast, On with Kara Swisher.
“I mean, it sounds nuts, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy threw me in jail,” she said.
“He’s out of his mind. I mean, he did his whole first campaign around ‘lock her up.'”
“This is his motto,” AOC said.
Ocasio Cortez stated she is strongly supporting Joe Biden‘s re-election campaign because she doesn’t want to be jailed.
She continued:
“I take him at his word when he says that he’s going to round up people.”
“I take him at his word when he threatens journalists. I take him at his word,” she said.
“I feel like what we saw in his first presidency was an amuse-bouche to what his intentions are.”
“He has learned from his mistakes of appointing professionals, and he will not make that mistake next time.”
“Trump does absolutely have a chance to win. That is why I have thrown my support behind Biden early and I support it vociferously,” AOC continued.
“It is unequivocal that if Donald Trump wins, we are looking at the potential dissolution of democracy in the United States of America and the question about what would happen to me or the Democratic Party is a joke compared to the question of what is going to happen to our country.”
AOC’s remarks came just days after Michael Cohen claimed “people will start flying out of windows” if the former president is elected in November.
During Saturday’s edition of MSNBC’s “Velshi,” Cohen said:
“State-sponsored news just like what you have in Russia and their station which is called Pravda and means truth which is ironic, right? “
“All of this goes away under a Donald Trump administration. Why? Because he doesn’t want to hear anything negative being said about him,” Cohen added.
“He will not allow that and just like Putin, once you start to get too big for your own britches, people will start flying out of windows, they will end up in gulags.”
“As Donald says all the time, send them to Gitmo, send them to Guantanamo bay.”
Watch
Michael Cohen says Trump is "already dictating" and "you're not safe" because "Trump wants total power over the United States of America including their wealth."
