Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday accused Sen. Ted Cruz of almost having her murdered.
In AOC's mind, Cruz is responsible for what happened, along with then-President Trump, Sen. Josh Hawley, and more than 120 other members of Congress.
They incited the mob by questioning the election results, you see, and because some people in that mob were violent and unruly, Cruz and the others basically tried to have AOC murdered.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said, somewhat cryptically, "The enemy is within" the House, and later explained she was talking about "Members of Congress who have threatened violence on other members of Congress."
Including Pelosi, actually thinks this is the same as threatening members of Congress with violence-any more than AOC actually thinks Cruz almost had her murdered.
It doesn't seem to matter that the Capitol wasn't sacked, that there was no insurrection or even a realistic plan for one, and that Congress got back into the building and finished its business that same day.
That's why moving the linguistic goalposts the way AOC and Pelosi and others on the left routinely do is dangerous.
