'Instagram influencer': AOC hits back at claims she 'faked' being handcuffed
Progressive darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dismissed claims she faked being handcuffed when she was arrested at a pro-choice rally outside the United States Supreme Court. Republican Nancy Mace said the New York congresswoman was putting on a "performance" when she put her hands behind her back while being led away by police, a claim Ms Ocasio-Cortez denies. Ms Ocasio-Cortez was one of 17 members of Congress, all Democrats, who were arrested during the protest against the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade.
