Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called for the expulsion of any member of Congress who helped plan the storming of the U.S. Capitol after a bombshell report alleged that several Republican lawmakers had co-ordinated with rally organizers.
“Any member of Congress who helped plot a terrorist attack on our nation’s capitol must be expelled,” the New York congresswoman wrote in a tweet late on Sunday night.
Her comment came after a Rolling Stone report, published on Sunday night, claimed multiple members of Congress had been “intimately involved” in the planning of former President Donald Trump‘s efforts to overturn his election loss and the January 6 protests, which culminated in the violence at the U.S. Capitol.
Any member of Congress who helped plot a terrorist attack on our nation’s capitol must be expelled.
This was a terror attack. 138 injured, almost 10 dead. Those responsible remain a danger to our democracy, our country, and human life in the vicinity of our Capitol and beyond. https://t.co/D0qLlaFjTh— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) October 25, 2021
Rolling Stone cited two anonymous sources, both involved in planning pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” rallies after the 2020 election, who said they had communicated with several Republican members of Congress or their senior staffers, as well as members of Trump’s team, ahead of January 6.
The report identified the members of Congress who allegedly took part in these conversations or were represented by senior staffers as Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorn, Andy Biggs and Louie Gohmert.
Both sources alleged that Rep. Gosar of Arizona also encouraged them to plan protests by offering a “blanket pardon” in an unrelated investigation.
Greene’s spokesperson told Rolling Stone that her involvement was solely to do with planning to object to the certification of Joe Biden‘s election victory on the House floor. Representatives for other members of Congress have yet to respond to the magazine’s requests for comment.
Newsweek has contacted representatives for Ocasio-Cortez and the other lawmakers mentioned in this article for comment.
According to Rolling Stone, the two sources and a third person who was involved in the largest rally on January 6 have started communicating with a House committee investigating the Capitol riots.
The report prompted Ocasio-Cortez, who has spoken of fearing for her life as she hid in a bathroom after the rioters breached the Capitol building, to tweet that the people responsible “remain a danger to our democracy.”
She tweeted: “This was a terror attack. 138 injured, almost 10 dead. Those responsible remain a danger to our democracy, our country, and human life in the vicinity of our Capitol and beyond.”
Any Member of Congress who plotted with Jan. 6 terrorists must be removed from Congress. https://t.co/J2BrG2p5La— Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) October 25, 2021
Any Member who had knowledge of or helped plan the January 6 attack on the Capitol needs to be immediately expelled from Congress. They cannot be trusted with the future of our democracy and country. https://t.co/BIdfmrhvFN— David Cicilline (@davidcicilline) October 25, 2021
Other House Democrats have joined her in calling for any lawmakers involved in the planning of the January 6 attack to be expelled from Congress.
“Any Member of Congress who plotted with Jan. 6 terrorists must be removed from Congress,” tweeted Rep. Eric Swalwell of California.
Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island added: “Any Member who had knowledge of or helped plan the January 6 attack on the Capitol needs to be immediately expelled from Congress. They cannot be trusted with the future of our democracy and country.”

He is not raising OUR taxes. He wants to raise taxes on the rich. They basically pay nothing right now and the burden is on US. Strange how republicans are fine with spending all our money, but not fine with democrats trying to help us out by changing things for the better. Our taxes will not be raised. Just the rich. And its about time. aND THESE SENATORS, WHOEVER IS INVOLVED IN THIS, should be expelled and never allowed to hold office again. tt was planned. Way before it happened. Greene,Bobert, Gosar. We will not stand for this anymore.
Top 1% pays 85% of all Federal taxs taken in each year. I suggest to learn a bit more and quit listening to liars.
You don’t know what you’re talking about!! Do some research, turn your TV off.
In that case representive pelosi should be the first kicked out as she stopped the authorities from getting the additional personal to help secure it
Thank you Rex for EXPOSING THE ACTUAL CREATOR OF THE BREAK IN — Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi! If AOC wants to round up people responsible for that break in, she needs to get the LEADER OF THE BREAK IN — Pelosi — NOW!
Why do you think The House is investigating that Break In WHERE AN EX-MILITARY WOMAN WAS SHOT AND KILLED (funny, AOC never mentioned that young woman’s death, duh on AOC)?? Because this is a diversionary move by NANCY PELOSI TO HIDE HER PART IN THE BREAK IN! In fact, from everything I researched on that event, Pelosi was the instigator so she could blame President Trump one more time to Impeach him AGAIN!
Hey AOC!! Try BLAMING YOUR OWN CONGRESSWOMAN PELOSI FOR THAT BREAK IN! She hired BLM and Antifa members to storm the Capitol dressed like Trump Supporters! Yes! I saw them on some of the Videos that Pelosi confiscated off the web. They looked like scruffy, messed up Trump supporters which was a red flag for anyone because most Trump Supporters.are tidy and clean, not with dreds and sloppy attire! Then I saw a White girl and a Black dreds dude jump up high giving a high five in the middle of the chaos! THAT IS NOT TRUMP SUPPORTER BEHAVIOR!!
COME ON AOC! WAKE UP!! Your very own SPEAKER PUT THAT BREAK IN TOGETHER!!!!!! If anyone needs to be KICKED TO THE CURB, IT IS NANCY PELOSI!!
Waters AOC, AND HER GANG OF NAZIS, THE TOAD NADLER , WEZSEL SCHIFF ETC. BIDEN, KLAIAN,SOROS PSAPPI. SHOULD ALL BE CHARGED AND IMPRISONED AS TRAITORS, COMM I TTING. TREASON. AND ON OUR DI M E
If you forced to kick out the GOP members that allegedly helped plan this whatever you’re also going to have to kick out all the Democrats and all the cities who helped build out the Riders who caused multiple millions of dollars in damage deaths and a lot of the injuries that includes the vice president
That was supposed to say bail out all the rioters
AOC is part of the democrat’s who are helping Fauci fund the puppy torture. She and the others are getting us to look at things like Jan 6, and other horrible things they are doing to us Americans so we don’t see what they are doing in the background to us. Fauci is making taxpayers pay for baby stem cell use in our vaccines and says it’s ok because the aborted baby stem cells are from babies that were aborted years ago and not present. An aborted baby is an aborted baby. I don’t care when it was aborted. so don’t let them tell you they aren’t using baby stem cells in the vaccines. And don’t let them tell you it’s ok to torture puppies for their research and slit their vocal cords so they don’t have to listen to the puppies cry in pain. Everyone who is backing the dems these days is taking part of each of these and may God have mercy on your souls. The dems nowadays are NOT the dems of the past. The dems you are following in the present are evildoers who DO NOT have your good at heart. They are dividing American’s against one another so they can destroy America. If you look into the history of each great Nation, they were defeated and left in ruin my nations who divided their peoples. If you are a part of the new democratic party, then you are a part of the destruction of America and we will soon be living as a 3rd world Country. Look at Africa. It was once one of the greatest and richest countries, till foreigners came in and destroyed them by causiing division amongst themselves, EVERY single country who was once great was DESTROYED by allowing outsiders to come in and tell them lies and causing them to war against one another like they are doing to us. Only YOU the American peoples can stop this insanity. God made us a great Nation. Let’s keep it that way. Don’t listen to their lies. Don’t trust anybody. Look into their past, follow the money. Keep our nation great. Stick together. Republicans and Democrats can work together for good. Good can only be known by the good that people perform from the heart and not the money and some good words are only surface deep and you are smarter than the unGodly people. Be smart.
All I can say is “Lets Go Branden” and that includes AOC and all the Committee investigating the Protest on January 6th. It was not!!! a insurrection!
a
This Rolling Stone article is are lies, AOC was not in the part of the Capital Building that was breached. She was in a building 300 yard away. There is proof of these Republicans Representives ever speaking or interviewing with Rollong Stone Magazine. There is no evidence of videos or audio of this ever happening, this just another false CNN type story, a distraction to divert the people from the corruption that Democrats and Biden are doing and planning..
Hey LYING AOC, go back into your bathroom and hide. You my dear are a VERY overpaid actress, and your Instagram page is very close to Inciting violence, you spout your hate for America daily ALL while peddling your high dollar good’s while screaming about Capitalism. Such a FAKE.
That’s fine. Start with Pelosi and Schumer.
That’s where it all started, for sure.
Yup, along with their friends Soros and Obama.
Waves of immigrants being sent to our southern border is also an invasion and has roots in domestic terrorism. So any congressional people found instigating people to come in mass to our southern border are also terrorists and should be tried with the Jan 6 terrorists for assault to our beloved democracy!!!
AOC is a danger to our “democracy” with her socialist/communist ideas. She, the rest of the squad, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Biden, Harris and Sanders, to start with need to be not just ousted from government but arrested.
Why is this Jan. 6th bullshit still continuing since the FBI conducted an investigation and determined there was no planning of any type of insurrection? The only people that may have done any planning is the FBI themselves.
This is just the Demoncrats ploy to continue to make the right look bad and to try to maintain power that they’re losing. They’re banking on the ignorance of the public to believe them and not research things for themselves. The delusional, psychotic ranting of ignorance. Twitter is a great place to see examples of people just repeating things they heard the left and msm say even if it was already debunked and retracted.
This is so tiring and infuriating already.
AOC what a laugh. This the moron that thought she might get raped and she wasn’t even in the same building!
AOC is just a loser with a loud mouth. I don’t think she has ever told the truth, remember her crying at the border while looking at a empty parking lot? AOC is a fake, a liar and completely unqualified for the job so nobody cares what she thinks should happen.
So now will AOC will go after the Democrats for being involved, she just said it!
It appears this lady doesn’t get her facts straight before she starts her attacks… her type of rhetoric is dangerous and needs to be stopped. Her fellow dems are the ones demanding the defunding of police, the right for people to take what they want from any place they want with zero accountability, spending trillions of dollars and wanting more and more. Pelosi, Schumer, and their ilk have made the democrat party unrecognizable and that is a shame.
