Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is telling her supporters to prepare a resistance against President-elect Donald J. Trump after he retook the White House in the 2024 election, winning both the popular vote and the Electoral College. In a video posted to social media after the November 5 election, the New York Democrat claims Trump and his allies are an authoritarian threat and alludes to the armed resistance movements against Europe’s fascist governments prior to and during World War II.
“We are about to enter a political period that will have consequences for the rest of our lives,” Ocasio-Cortez says. “We cannot give up. We now find ourselves in a time in history that has precedent, and we find ourselves, I believe, in a time where there are, let’s say, peers in history, of mass movements of people that mobilize to protect one another in times of fascism and authoritarianism. And this is the era we are poised to enter. ”
“Donald Trump has talked about turning the military on U.S. citizens that he deems his domestic political enemies,” the Democratic Congresswoman claims, adding: “Authoritarianism and people that he affiliates closely, and strongmen abroad in regimes like that, it is not uncommon to jail political dissidents or legislative opponents.”
Ocasio-Cortez—a far-left progressive—concludes: “This is the world that we very, realistically may be entering.”
ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE.
The New York lawmaker, in referencing historical mobilizations against fascism, appears to be encouraging violent left-wing groups like Antifa and others to arm themselves and form militias. Such actions would mirror the actions of the French Resistance and Italian anti-fascist groups who—unlike today—were justified in violently opposing the German and Italian fascist regimes. Over the course of the 2024 campaign, Democrats—including Vice President Kamala Harris—have compared Trump and his supporters to fascists and Nazis.
Prior to and during Donald Trump’s first term in office from 2017 to 2021, Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez would often make dramatic and unfounded accusations against the Republican president—claiming he was trying to become a dictator or would jail political enemies. Despite the assertions, these actions never occurred or were even considered.
The National Pulse has previously reported that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez admitted that much of her ‘resistance’ antics are political theater. However, her most recent comments could be considered to cross a very dangerous political line by endorsing potentially violent actions against the legitimately elected government.
