New evidence corroborates suspicions that the rhetoric of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may have inspired the man who attacked an ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington.
The attacker’s manifesto repeatedly called migrant detention centers “concentration camps.”

AOC has yet to condemn the attack despite multiple requests for comment:

After weeks of incitement by liberals like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a liberal activist armed with a rifle threw incendiary bombs at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Tacoma, Washington.
Known liberal activist Willem Van Spronsen was shot and killed by Tacoma police during his 4:00 a.m. assault Saturday morning.
The liberal terrorist attack came just days after Ocasio-Cortez published staged photographs of herself weeping at an ICE facility, calling them “concentration camps,” claiming detainees were routinely abused and forced to drink from toilets, and encouraging liberals to take action against them.
It also came hours after Ocasio-Cortez said lawmakers’ comments can lead to violence, claiming that mild criticism of her by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was responsible for death threats she had received.
None of the claimed threats to Ocasio-Cortez appear to mention Pelosi or agree with her.
Despite her own claims lawmakers’ own words are the cause of political violence, Ocasio-Cortez has not accepted responsibility for the armed assault on the facilities she viciously attacked.
“The shooting took place hours after a rally in front of the detention center to protest planned mass deportation raids around the country,” Fox News reports. “The Tacoma facility, which is run by the Department of Homeland Security, holds migrants pending deportation proceedings. The detention center has also held immigration-seeking parents separated from their children under President Donald Trump’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy, an effort meant to deter illegal immigration.”
“Around 4 a.m., officers responded to an ICE employee’s report of a man armed with a rifle and throwing homemade incendiaries at the building and vehicles in the detention center’s parking lot, as well as attempting to ignite a propane tank, according to Tacoma police,” The Seattle Times reports. “Officers say they saw the man wearing a satchel and holding flares, as well as the rifle.”
It’s not the first Van Spronsen violently attacked police at the facility. He was arrested for assaulting a police officer during a 2018 protest there. At the time he was found to be carrying a knife and a collapsible baton, a favorite weapon of the “Antifa” domestic terrorist group.
The Pacific Northwest is a hotbed of liberal terrorism, and the attack comes days after liberals violently assaulted a gay Asian conservative journalist in nearby Portland, Oregon. (RELATED: [VIDEO] Did Police Stand By While Antifa Viciously Attacked Journalist?)
The attack also comes just a few weeks after the second anniversary of a mass assassination attempt by liberal terrorist James Hodgkinson, who opened fire on a group of Republican congressmen and senators practicing for a charity baseball game. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was seriously wounded and nearly died in the attack by the avid MSNBC viewer.
