Let’s pause to remember the trauma that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez felt a year ago today. It was reported by Newsweek that insurrectionists had entered her office where she was hiding in the bathroom, except she was in an entirely different office building from the Capitol. And it was security who was knocking on the door of her office, which no one entered, it was revealed. People pounced on Rep. Nancy Mace after she said that insurrectionists were never in the hallway where Ocasio-Cortez’s office was. Still, AOC went on Instagram and announced, “I thought I was going to die …. I did not know if I was going to make out of that day alive.”
A lot of quietly deleted tweets today over the detail in AOC's story that she thought she was hiding from the mob, but it turned out to be Capitol Police. She told it as she experienced it. https://t.co/wlzbpcEuvl

As Twitchy reported, Jason Rezaian published a piece in the Washington Post this week about the trauma that journalists feel but don’t talk about, and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki made sure to recognize the trauma that is still felt by journalists a year later:

If these people are traumatized by an event they weren’t even involved in, imagine the absolute breakdown they would have over an actual traumatic event

Drama, drama, drama! The pussification of America! They should stay in lockdown and never venture outside for fear of something bad might happen to them.

I still cry every night for all the senators and representatives that died that day by the hand of the insurrectionists. We will never recover. Democracy is dead. LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!

We remember video of that Black Lives Matter activist leading a CNN crew into the Capitol Building. They didn’t seem too traumatized.
