BUCK: AOC just got arrested outside the Supreme Court protesting. Actually — no, she wasn’t arrested. She was escorted from the area. But on video, Clay, she is holding her hands voluntarily behind her as though she is handcuffed, but she’s not really handcuffed. They’re imaginary cuffs. What the heck is that?

AOC PRETENDS to be *handcuffed* in fake arrest protesting Supreme Court — then raises her fist, breaking her fake handcuffs

CLAY: She wants the attention. And, unfortunately — and you may have seen this ridiculous video that went viral of the kids at Sesame Street, the mascot not recognizing them enough, in this era that we’re in — and they argue, by the way, Sesame Street’s racist.

In this era that we’re in, AOC is aware that if she pretend — I really think this — if she pretends to walk as if she has been handcuffed, there will be some people who will grab the videos of that, they will grab pictures of that, and it will appear to a certain segment of the population that otherwise gets all their information from Instagram and five-second video feeds, TikTok, that she was arrested for protesting abortion. Like, that will be widely reported now.

Ilhan Omar also did the exact same thing. They wanted, probably, to get arrested for the attention. So when police were asking them to move, they pretended that they were being handcuffed, as if they were actually being restrained and being put into paddy wagons, police cars, whatever you want to say.

BUCK: It’s crazy. By the way, your description of AOC: she’s an Instagram influencer who happens to be a member of Congress. I do think that is the most apt description of her I’ve heard. So well done, Mr. Clay Travis.

CLAY: Thank you.
