Democrat congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Ilhan Omar faked being handcuffed while getting arrested at a pro-abortion rally in front of the US Supreme Court..AOC and Omar were arrested with 15 other House Democrats on Tuesday for blocking traffic during a planned pro-abortion “civil disobedience” protest..ABC News showed pictures of the arrests from the front so it looked like AOC and Omar were handcuffed, which they were not..The Daily Signal’s Doug Blair and Bernadette Hassan captured a video showing AOC holding her hands behind her back pretending to be handcuffed while the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) escorted her away..While walking away with the police officer, AOC’s handcuffs disappear so she could raise and shake her fist in a power symbol, then puts her hand behind her back again..The ABC News photos gave the appearance of the two congresswomen being arrested in handcuffs..ABC News in their story said that “no handcuffs were seen.”.“Officers then began arresting the demonstrators, though no handcuffs were seen. Police also collected IDs and took pictures of those arrested … including of some of the lawmakers,” wrote ABC News..Prior to the arrests, the MPD told the participants they were going to arrest anyone who did not leave immediately from the “illegal demonstration activity.”.“Officers at the Supreme Court told the protesters they were participating in illegal demonstration activity before advising anyone who didn’t want to get arrested to leave, which sparked singing and chanting from the group,” wrote ABC News..This pro-abortion protest comes less than a month after the Supreme Court overruled Roe..According to the MPD, the 17 House Democrats arrested were Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Carolyn Maloney of New York, Cori Bush of Missouri, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania, Nydia Velazquez of New York, Barbara Lee of California, Jackie Speier of California, Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, Sara Jacobs of California, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Andy Levin of Michigan, Alma Adams of North Carolina, Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey, Veronica Escobar of Texas, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois.
