Had she just given that account of events, and toned down the dramatics somewhat, it would have been totally fine.
However, her combining it with the whole (previously unmentioned) "I'm a sexual assault survivor, so I'm used to not being believed" really makes the entire thing look like attention whoring bullshit. Given the circles she hung out in, and given the fact that she came of age at a time when sexual assault was taken VERY seriously, I find it highly unlikely that she "wasn't believed".
Additionally, I doubt she'd be combining this exaggerated/fabricated sexual assault tale with the fear-of-death story from the Capitol riots, if she were actually all that worried on January 6. Your mind just wouldn't go there. The linking of the two was also really weak. She didn't justify mentioning the sexual assault because both were extremely traumatic events in her life. She said she hadn't come out with her January 6 story because she's "used to not being believed" due to the previous sexual assault experience!
YEAH RIGHT!!!
She's one of the most high-profile Congresspeople at the age of 31, constantly rants on social media, yet supposedly thinks supporters "don't believe" her? Talk about weapons grade bullshit.
But you know.. the left loves a good victim story. Here she gets to both embellish her January 6 experience for attention, and then get the "she's so brave for telling this story" award because of the supposed sexual assault survival.
The left has been conditioned NEVER to question anyone's claims of victimhood (see Smollett, Jussie), so this tactic works great on fellow lefties.
Pathetic.
