I think you actually enjoy setting yourself up for rightful ridicule and suffer from gelotophilia.
Amiright?

Not really, but I learned a new word today. So thanks gutter!

I think AOC is a clown. I think fake handcuffs for the cameras and made for TV arrests = clown show.

I do agree with their cause though. I do not agree with some abortions being illegal in certain states.

Think, know, feel, whatever. In some ways I agree she's a clown.
In others, I feel she is well intentioned and SOMETIMES I agree with her.

I'm curious, I'm not trying to come up with a whataboutism but I'm wondering what you "think" of people such as MTG and Boebert and how often you express it publicly.

Anyway/s, let's get back to AOC and "fake handcuffs".
Her words.... “If I was faking that, why would I intentionally first pump somebody? It’s so silly.”

You and I and many/most others may feel she was faking being in handcuffs but.....Do we know for a FACT she was faking being in handcuffs? She probably was but I can't prove it.
Do we know if she was told to put her hands behind her back? She probably wasn't but I can't prove for a fact if she was or wasn't.
Regardless, it's probably not as uncommon as we may think - for people to put their hands behind their backs when being "detained" by law enforcement. Sort of as an expression of I'm complying and not resisting.

That is exactly what I would do in that situation. There is no chance I would want to walk in my regular manner and risk having my hand accidentally brush a police officer. Hell, even the natural motion of your arm swinging away from the officer could be escalated to "they were trying to resist arrest and get away from me". They would be perfectly within their right to state that they felt I was making a move for their weapon and to forcibly escalate the situation or worse. Your best bet for not having that situation escalated by an overly zealous officer is over the top compliance and submission.

But people who have a problem with her will always see it through that lens and always assume her intentions were for attention. Such is life.
