“He’s out of his mind” – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Worried Trump Would Imprison Her If He Wins Presidency
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has expressed concerns that former President Trump might imprison her if he wins the upcoming November election.
In a discussion with podcast host Kara Swisher, Ocasio-Cortez stated she takes Trump ‘at his word.’
“I mean, it sounds nuts, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy threw me in jail. He’s out of his mind. I mean, he did his whole first campaign around ‘lock her up.’ This is his motto,” she said.
Ocasio-Cortez believes what happened during Trump’s first term was just a preview of his future intentions. She thinks he has learned from his past mistakes and will avoid appointing professionals who might restrain him next time.
Her worry is fueled by a recent interview Trump had on Fox & Friends, where he was asked if ‘revenge’ would be his ‘success.’
“These are bad people. These people are sick, and they do things that are so destructive… If it weren’t me, they’d be going after somebody else, and I know a lot of the competition,” Trump responded. “They wouldn’t do so well.”
Trump has recently talked about seeking retribution, asserting his right to do so.
“Number one, they’re wrong,” Trump told Sean Hannity. “It has to stop, because otherwise, we’re not going to have a country.”
He continued, “Look, when this election is over, based on what they’ve done, I would have every right to go after them, and it’s easy, because it’s Joe Biden and you see all the criminality, all of the money that’s going into the family and him, all of this money from China, from Russia, from Ukraine.”
Trump also criticized the Democrats, claiming, “They want to arrest on no crime. They want to arrest the person that won the nomination in a landslide.”
