‘Shock Theater’: AOC Is Worried Trump Will Throw Her In Jail If He Wins

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said she was worried that former President Donald Trump might throw her in jail if he were to win reelection in November.
The New York Congresswoman made an appearance on Kara Swisher’s podcast, “On with Kara Swisher,” and she claimed — among other things — that Trump had run his entire 2016 campaign against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the promise to “lock her up.”
Ocasio-Cortez then went on to argue that since Trump had promised to lock Clinton up — in spite of the fact that he ultimately did not make an effort while president to do so — he could be reasonably expected to round up anyone who disagreed with him and throw them in jail if he was elected again.
