After South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace called her out on it, AOC insisted she wasn’t faking: “Putting your hands behind your back is a best practice while detained, handcuffed or not, to avoid escalating charges like resisting arrest.”AOC PRETENDS to be *handcuffed* in fake arrest protesting Supreme Court -- then raises her fist, breaking her fake handcuffs

Mace responded by noting that she broke this “best practice” by “breaking your fake handcuff pose for a good fist pump and shout out to the crowd – looking ‘tough’!” Whoops.No faking here. Putting your hands behind your back is a best practice while detained, handcuffed or not, to avoid escalating charges like resisting arrest.
But given how you lied about a fellow rape survivor for “points,” as you put it to me, I don’t expect much else from you. pic.twitter.com/lUc1TPS21D — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 20, 2022
It wasn’t just AOC bragging about the orchestrated arrest, however. Half an hour before the lawmakers began the protest, a spokesman for fellow “squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — also an arrestee — tweeted that the Soros-funded group would be livestreaming the event.Idk. Here you are @aoc breaking your fake handcuff pose for a good fist pump and shout out to the crowd - looking “tough”! Good theater though… ???♀️? https://t.co/0kfihuevYa pic.twitter.com/68rjopkdMi

CPD Action also said on Facebook that some of its leaders were among the 18 individuals who aren’t elected Democrats who got themselves arrested at the protest on Tuesday. https://www.facebook.com/CPDAction/posts/415932863905134 “Moments ago, leaders from CPD Action network organizations, members of Congress & more participated in a powerful civil disobedience demonstration & got arrested to protect our RIGHT to SAFE & LEGAL abortions,” the Soros-funded group posted. “This is a clear message to SCOTUS and lawmakers that #WeWontBackDown until ALL pregnancy-abled people are treated as full human beings with the autonomy to make decisions about OUR OWN bodies.” “Pregnancy-abled people.” Well, that’s a new one. Beyond that, however, this is the same old astroturfing story. Not only was this “civil disobedience” painfully fake, it didn’t even arise out of organic anger. AOC’s pretend handcuffs were the perfect metaphor for the whole endeavor: A bunch of elected officials took great pains to make it look like they were sacrificing themselves like the martyrs of the civil rights movement. Instead, this was all a put-together event so that the mainstream media could snag a few photographs and give far-left, pro-abortion Democratic legislatures some good publicity. Shame that it all looked every bit like the cynical scam that it was. Better luck next time. Read more at: WesternJournal.com.@CPDAction is livestreaming it. Follow along! https://t.co/YfwkHGUp74
