U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) appeared utterly distraught over the prospect of Donald Trump becoming president again.
The far-left congresswoman argued that Trump returning to the White House would ensure the end of Democracy, adding, “It’s not a joke.”
“We need to understand what we are staring down in this country,” AOC began.
“If Donald Trump is elected president of the United States, we do not know if there will be a verifiable next election that has integrity,” she said.
“He already tried to, we saw on January 6th, he tried to overturn the results of a presidential election by force, by inciting a riot.”
“And I, you know, I think we need to be very, very realistic about the grave, grave impacts of a Donald Trump election. It is not a joke.”
“It is not a game. It is not a game.”

“We need to protect our democracy and ideally it’s going to be on progressive values,” the “squad” Democrat continued.
AOC was also asked about the mounting concerns about President Biden’s age-declining mental fitness.
As we reported last month, a Harvard/CAPS Harris poll showed 63 percent of registered voters said they have “doubts” about Biden’s mental fitness and ability as president.
A further 69 percent of respondents added that Biden is too old to be president.
When asked about the voter’s concerns, AOC deflected the question back onto Trump.
“I mean, I think right now, when it comes to the President’s age, folks are talking about how he’s 81 But we have to look at first of all, Donald Trump is around the same age of 77 years old, they could have gone to high school together,” she said.
“And beyond that, Donald Trump has 91 indictments.”
“And what I know who I’m going to choose is going to be the one of the most successful presidents in modern American history.”
