"I can tell you that I had a very close encounter where I thought I was going to die," @AOC tells supporters tonight on InstagramLive. "I did not know if I was going to make it to the end of that day alive."

She says she's not even sure how much she can say publicly about what happened on Wednesday.

"And it is not an exaggeration to say that many, many members of the House were nearly assassinated," @AOC continues.

"There was a sense there was something wrong from the inside," @AOC says. She says there were acts of "betrayal" - and says she wasn't sure when seeing officers if they were there to help or hurt.

"I didn't even feel safe around other members of Congress," @AOC says. She says she feared they would give away her location so she could be hurt or kidnapped.

She says it's "too late" for Trump officials to quit after Wednesday. "Those five people's blood is on your hand."
