#AlexandriaOcasioSmollett Ocasio-Cortez recounted her experience of the Jan. 6 siege publicly on Monday, saying she feared for her life while hiding in the bathroom after hearing banging on her office doors and someone break in yelling, “Where is she?” In response to the incident, the congresswoman said: "I did not know if I was going to make it to the end of that day alive." She also accused Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, of almost having her "murdered," touching on accusations that Cruz and others incited the attack through their rhetoric about the election.
