Are these children the best America has?
Just noting - they weren’t handcuffed - just decided to hold their hands like that. https://t.co/8hK3xLBoA8

"The video of AOC pretending to be handcuffed while being arrested has been viewed over 2 million times on Twitter.
"As the clip spread, AOC was roundly mocked on social media, the New York Post reported.“
AOC's amateur-hour publicity stunt - American Thinker . . ."Having been found out, caught in fake a melodramatic stunt, and not for the first time, you'd think she'd be embarrassed.
Best performance goes to,,,, AOC pretended to be in handcuffs when she was escorted away from the Supreme Court,” the official account for the conservative paper Washington Free Beacon tweeted.
“Oh my gosh @AOC faking handcuffs,” wrote Republican commentator Matt Whitlock. “This is too much.”
The Capitol Police must have put invisible handcuffs on @AOC!” tweeted political analyst Carmyn Kinsey.
“You guys… @AOC is such a victim that she has to pretend that the big, mean policeman put her in handcuffs…She probably also thinks he wants to date her,” said conservative columnist Tim Young.". . .

"But that little fake handcuff revelation hardly matters to AOC.
"What matters is that most U.S.-based news agencies such as CNN, NBC News, Axios, etc. reported it as an arrest. Even agencies overseas such as the U.K. Guardian, the BBC, France 24, ABC in Australia, and numerous others reported it as an arrest, complete with a pity party for poor brave AOC.
"AOC knows that more people will read the news than will read social media posts exposing her false claims.
"Perhaps she may claim to be arrested, handcuffed, and even assaulted in her memoirs.
"Following the January 6 protests, AOC went full drama queen there, too, falsely suggesting she was in the Capitol Building and in immediate danger because the protestors were demanding to know where she was and were even banging on her office door. It was eventually revealed that AOC wasn't even in the building during the incident.
"She also did a comparable border stunt in 2019, wearing white, posing in front of a chain link fence, pretending to cry over "caged" migrant illegal border crossers, and then being found out from other pictures that she was "crying" in front of a parking lot for the cameras.". . .
Republican communicator Matt Whitlock tweeted: “Have to wonder if any of the protesters alongside her ever thought ‘wait .. aren’t you an elected member of Congress with the power to pass legislation on this issue? Why are you over here protesting? Pass a bill!’”“Why was she pretending like she was handcuffed?” asked Elijah Schaffer from The Blaze.
“The fake handcuffs are everything,” said conservative strategist Natalie Johnson.
“She pretends to be handcuffed, raises her fist in a salute, and then goes back to pretending to be handcuffed,” tweeted strategist Greg Price.". . .

Even the Babylon Bee couldn't pass this up: AOC Sits In Invisible Police Car Awaiting Transport To Invisible Jail | Babylon Bee
"After a heroic protest at the Supreme Court, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spent the better part of three hours sitting in an invisible police car with her wrists bound by invisible handcuffs, waiting to be taken to an invisible jail.
"After being threatened with an invisible gun, I was thrown on the ground by invisible police!" shouted Ocasio-Cortez as she flipped her hair for the camera. "They've kept me stuffed in this invisible squad car for hours, the fascists! When I get out of the invisible slammer, I'm going to make them pay - every last invisible one of them!"
"Several members of Congress were reportedly arrested outside of the Supreme Court today, where they were protesting the court ruling that Congress had to actually show up for work. "It is absolutely heinous that the Supreme Court would ask us to like, make laws," said Representative Ilhan Omar. "We are far too busy leading protests about abortion to actually write any legislation on it. Ugh, why are these invisible handcuffs always so tight?"
"Sources say Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has already obtained her first prison tattoo, which is invisible, and is subsisting well thus far on invisible prison food. She has reportedly kept herself in solitary confinement inside an invisible box, but she does come out to weep outside her own invisible prison cell if she thinks anyone with a camera is nearby.
"At publishing time, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has generously offered to donate her invisible handcuffs to be displayed in the Smithsonian in commemoration of her bravery."
