It was an emotional day on Capitol Hill as members of Congress shared their stories from January 6 a year ago. Some got it off their chest at the time, like AOC telling her Instagram followers how she thought she was going to die, even though she was in an office building separate from the Capitol where the riot was taking place. She was speaking her truth, though.
Sen. Chuck Schumer has been sitting on this story for a year; we guess he was just waiting for the right moment. He recalls being just feet away from the insurrectionists, who spotted him and shouted, “There’s the big Jew, let’s get him.”

Turns out it was just Omar and Tlaib.

Is he sure it wasn't just @AOC or @IlhanMN? Perhaps @RashidaTlaib? Sounds much more like their type of rhetoric tbh..

So it takes a whole year before we hear about this? Right.

They should release all the footage from that day to totally, definitively prove this happened…

Interesting that he waited a year to tell that story. Almost like he made it up to score political points.

Hang on … so the story is that somebody else heard it, and then told Schumer about it.
Per the article, someone else allegedly heard this & then told Schumer about it at some later point in time. 🙄🙄
