Comedian Adam Carolla mocked congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Ilhan Omar as some of the “most privileged people” on the planet following their arrests outside the Supreme Court earlier this week.

Omar and Ocasio-Cortez were part of a group of 17 lawmakers arrested at the protest over the Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

Their actions, however, stood out amongst their peers as they seemingly simulated being handcuffed as they were led away even though Capitol police have confirmed – via fact-checker, Snopes – that nobody involved in the incident was handcuffed, “as is standard for a noncustodial arrest.”

While the arrests were confirmed, Twitter had a field day with the political theater on the part of the Squad members.

Carolla Says of Arrests, AOC and Omar Are Always Casting Themselves as Martyrs

In an interview with Fox Business, Carolla was asked if he owns a pair of “invisible handcuffs” himself.

“No, I think only Wonder Woman has those,” he quipped.

The comedian then unleashed on AOC and Omar for their performance art during the arrests.

“It’s insane how these women, who are amongst the most privileged people not only in the United States, but in the planet and on the planet, have to turn themselves into martyrs,” Carolla said.

“They’re constantly talking about the threats, and they were attacked,” he continued, “and they’re essentially making themselves martyrs when it doesn’t exist in the country.”

Carolla wasn’t done by any stretch, describing the duo’s actions variously throughout the segment as “despicable” and “immature” while accusing AOC and Omar of being “horrible people” for how the arrests played out.

“Like, ‘I live in the greatest country in the world, I’m in a great position and I’m going to constantly count myself among the oppressed,’” he added.

Tears of a Clown

AOC is little more than a wannabe actress who happens to serve part-time in Congress. And yes, as Carolla suggests, she is always casting herself as a martyr for whatever cause du jour happens to be playing out.

Who could possibly forget the photos that emerged of the New York Democrat at the border, dressed in all white and slumped over at the horror she was witnessing?

Performance art.

Side note – 15,271 unaccompanied children were apprehended at the border last month and AOC didn’t dry clean that suit and head on down there to take a gander.

Just last month, Ocasio-Cortez posted a video in which she appeared to have tears welling up in her eyes as she became visibly upset about having to “relive” the events of the January 6th Capitol riot.

And why not, she was almost murdered that day.

AOC has defended her actions during the arrest at the lawmakers’ Supreme Court insurrection protests suggesting it’s common knowledge that you’re supposed to put your hands behind your back while being led away by police officers.

“No faking here,” she wrote on Twitter. “Putting your hands behind your back is a best practice while detained, handcuffed or not, to avoid escalating charges like resisting arrest.”

One could buy that excuse if say she hadn’t raised her clenched fist seconds into her perp walk away from the area.

‘Best practice’ lasted all of 5 seconds it would seem. Odd, based on the congresswoman’s own statement, Capitol Police should now be able to charge her with resisting arrest.

The reality here is that the police confirmed the arrests, but AOC most certainly engaged in juvenile street theater when she very clearly pretended to be handcuffed.

Why? Because she has the self-absorbed mentality of a celebrity diva. She didn’t grow up from that emotional stage and seemingly never will.
