  • An image shared on Facebook claims Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that someone stole shoes from her office during the Capitol riot. Facebook/Screenshot Verdict: False There is no record of Ocasio-Cortez posting or deleting the tweet, and it appears to be fabricated. The congresswoman called it fake on Twitter. Fact Check: The image shows what appears to be a screen grab of a tweet that Ocasio-Cortez allegedly posted about the Capitol riot on Jan. 10. Supporters of President Donald Trump on Jan. 6 stormed the U.S. Capitol building, where items such as laptops and documents were stolen and a rioter was photographed carrying away the House speaker’s lectern , according to Forbes . As most people know by now, many things were stolen during the terrorist insurrection at the Capitol: laptops, mail, even the Speaker’s lectern, reads the alleged tweet. Security cameras also picked up a well-disguised fellow about 5’4′′ stealing all of my SHOES, for Chrissake. Unbelievable. There is no record of Ocasio-Cortez tweeting the statement. A search of her Twitter accounts – @AOC and @RepAOC – turned up no matching tweets. It also does not appear in ProPublica’s archive of her deleted tweets. The tweet appears to be fabricated. Ocasio-Cortez called the viral image fake in a Jan. 14 tweet. (RELATED: Did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Tweet That It’s Time To ‘Roundup All Conservative Traitors’?)

That was fake too! Sometimes when people call me ‘extreme’ I wonder how many fake Facebook stories/posts they’ve been exposed to. Ocasio-Cortez is often a target of misinformation online.
