Rep. Ann Kuster, D-NH, did her best AOC impression in her exit interviews. She claimed that Donald Trump had tried to kill her during the Capitol demonstrations on January 6, 2018.

 

Kuster’s comments were made both to Roll Call and The Boston Globe.

 

In her remarks, the six-term Congresswoman said that she was retiring to be an example to her septuagenarian and octogenarian peers who stay around too long.

 

She explained, “I was trying to be a better role model. There were many factors that went into my decision.”

 

She also had another reason for not running again.

 

She explained that there was a part about Donald Trump’s return. “I was the last member of Congress to leave the gallery that day, and we now have security footage showing that it took only 30 seconds for the insurrectionists to be in that hall hunting us down with zip ties, bear mace, and other things.”

 

“I just felt like, he tried to kill me once. I’m not available for it again.”

 

 

Kuster tried to minimize the murder allegation by saying it was a joke.

 

She said, “I said it a bit facetiously but he tried killing me once. I am not ready for that again. What happened on Jan. 6, and his attempt at overthrowing the government, took a toll. It was hard for me personally and also on my ability to work across the aisle.”

 

Kuster announced in March that she would no longer run for reelection as a member of the U.S. House. At the time, there was no indication that Trump would be able to win back the White House. This gave him an opportunity for revenge against a woman who he had never heard of.

 

Kuster’s final stand will take place on January 3, 2025. Ironically, Trump’s victory will be confirmed on January 6th.

 

The New Hampshire Congresswoman has always been a fan of hyperbole regarding the protests that will take place at the Capitol building in 2021. Kuster’s Office released a video the night before the third anniversary of her party’s version of Pearl Harbor.

 

 

She was accompanied by two House Democrats and three protesters on the third floor of the U.S. Capitol. She claimed that it was evidence of the “threat Donald Trump poses to democracy in the future.”

 

It made her wonder how close to death she was from being mashed by a bear.

 

“I’ve often wondered, ‘What the hell would have happened?’ I don’t know, rip us limb from limb?” Kuster said. “You know, what are the zip ties and the bear mace all about? They were prepared to take members of Congress either hostage, or kill us right then and there, or at least make us go to the hospital so that we couldn’t have come back to vote that night.”

 

 

Kuster must have had a good reason for turning off the comments on that video.

 

In an interview with Roll Call in her final days as a Democrat, the departing lawmaker suggested that Trump defeated Kamala because “voters don’t follow (policy) issues that closely.”

 

She thinks people will benefit from the Biden Administration over the next four-year period, but are too ignorant to realize that it was Democrats who made all of this possible.

 

She lamented, “People will be driving on brand new bridges and highways, cutting 45 minutes from their commute, and getting home in time for dinner, but nobody is going to thank Joe Biden.”

 

“They’re probably going to say, “Thank you, Donald Trump,” because they don’t realize that it takes so long.”
