The Representative bragged about her efforts to block legislation that would increase security for Supreme Court justices.
The video in which she claims to walk to the floor of the House of Representatives was posted on Thursday.
The member of the "Squad" said in the video that Thursday was a "fly out day" when many members of congress left for their home districts.
Both Democrats and Republicans have maximum hijinks on fly out days.
She said that she woke up this morning and heard murmurs that there would be an attempt to pass the Supreme Court Supplemental Protection Bill.
She asked if we could pass protections for us and here quickly. We can't give protection to everyday people. I don't believe in that.
According to a criminal complaint, a man dressed in black was taken into custody by police after exiting a taxi in front of a house. The man called the police because he was suicidal. He said he came from California to kill a Supreme Court justice.
A tactical knife, pepper spray, zip ties, hammer, screwdriver, and other gear were found in the backpack of the person who was arrested.
He said that he was motivated by the leaked majority draft opinion. According to the complaint, he contemplated how to give his life purpose after he found his address on the internet.
The Senate passed a bill on May 9 to give around-the-clock security to the families of Supreme Court justices after the leak of the draft. The measure had bipartisan support in the Senate, but is stuck in the Democrat-controlled House as some Democrats argue that the enhanced protections should be extended to other court employees.
Kevin McCarthy expressed frustration on the House floor after House Democrats rejected a unanimous consent request.
He asked how many times the justices have to be warned. How many people have to be arrested with a gun?
Had he not called, what would have occurred? McCarthy spoke on Wednesday. He had a weapon. He had ties on his hands. You want to go somewhere else. There is a bill on the president's desk.
