In a recent CNN interview with Chris Wallace, representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) New York, described how her life has been in danger ever since she entered into politics. In an unpublished segment of the interview, obtained exclusively by DamascusDispatch.com investigative reporter Tim Tinker, AOC recalls the horrific moment when she was attacked by a giant gerrymander.

“I was literally mortified,” she recalled. “I mean, I honestly thought these things were extinct.” Clearly shaken at the recollection, she continued the story, “I was walking my dog Deco late one evening, and as I was picking up his poop, this huge gerrymander scurried out of the alley toward us. Thank god for Deco. He stood his ground and barked ravenously keeping the creature at bay until help arrived. You know little things with big hearts can save the world.”

When asked where she thought the animal came from, she claimed, “I’m sure these things were extinct. And I suspect that right wing radical herpetologists have resurrected them to attack democratic socialist activists like me. I’ve called for a congressional investigation but the Speaker of the House is too weak to bring it to the floor for a vote.”
