WATCH: AOC and Ilhan Omar Busted Pretending to Be Handcuffed During Protest Outside SCOTUS; Video of AOC Pretending to Be Handcuffed Viewed Over 2 Million Times

By Townhall. Reportedly “arrested” for “civil disobedience” — that is, blocking traffic — outside the Supreme Court in protest of the recent Dobbs decision, more than 30 radical Democrats, including several lawmakers, took their antics a bit too far beyond the point of believability.

Here’s video of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) being led away from the front of the Supreme Court by Capitol Police officers with her hands behind her back as if in handcuffs… but then she raised her fist over her head revealing that the “arms-behind-your-back” look was pure choreographed political theater, before going back to pretending to be in cuffs. . .

Today I was arrested while participating in a civil disobedience action with my fellow Members of Congress outside the Supreme Court.

Unless Capitol Police are now using handcuffs that allow arrestees to raise just one arm to wave at supporters, there weren’t restraints involved. But that didn’t stop some in the media from taking the bait set by Reps. Omar and Ocasio-Cortez to erroneously report that the videos they shared showed them placed in cuffs.

Video of AOC Pretending to Be Handcuffed Viewed Over 2 Million Times

By Newsweek. A video of Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pretending to be handcuffed while being arrested at a protest on Tuesday has been viewed over 2 million times on Twitter.

Ocasio-Cortez has been vocal about the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on June 24 to overturn Roe v. Wade, which protected the right to abortion in the U.S. On Tuesday, at an abortion rights protest outside of the Supreme Court, Ocasio-Cortez was detained for blocking traffic and put her hands behind her back as she was escorted away by a Capitol Police officer, making it appear as though she’d been handcuffed.

Videos have circulated showing the incident. In the video posted on Twitter by reporter and contributor for Conservative think tank The Heritage Douglas Blair, Ocasio-Cortez can be seen walking away with her hands behind her back, an officer holding her left arm, but near the video’s end, she raises her right fist in the air to supporters watching.
