Conservatives on Twitter shared their reactions to Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her fellow ‘Squad’ mates getting ‘arrested’ in front of the Supreme Court while protesting for abortion on Tuesday. AOC & Co. were removed by Capitol Police and, in a bizarre move, pretended to be handcuffed.
Conservatives had a field day.
“I hope Squad members arrested today are placed in a cell next to the J6 inmates,” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) tweeted.

“.@AOC so you faked being handcuffed to keep lying to women? Abortion is legal up until birth in NY, but your voters can’t afford groceries and crime is out of control. Desperate isn’t a good look on you. Go back to your Insta makeup tutorials, you’re actually good at those,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said.

“Is…is she pretending to be handcuffed?” the National Journalism Center’s Becket Adams reacted.
“This is too much,” GOP flack Matt Whitlock wrote.
“So @AOC is a criminal insurrectionist who should be banned from federal office?” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton joked.

Nothing like pretending you're under arrest when you're not. Gotta leave it to AOC to play the optics game.
