On Instagram Live Monday, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> revealed she is “a survivor of sexual assault” and the Congresswoman compared the trauma to the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I’m a survivor of sexual assault, and I haven’t told many people that in my life,” she said. “But when we go through trauma, trauma compounds on each other.”<\/p>\n

“These folks who tell us to move on, that it’s not a big deal, that we should forget what’s happened, or even telling us to apologize, these are the same tactics of abusers,” she continued. “And, I\u2019m a survivor of sexual assault, and I haven\u2019t told many people that in my life. But when we go thought trauma, trauma compounds on each other.”<\/p>\n

Referencing the siege on the Capitol, Ocasio-Cortez said “What I felt was, ‘not again.’ I’m not going to let this happen again.”<\/p>\n
