“It sounds nuts, but like, I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy threw me in jail,” Ocasio-Cortez said on a podcast, according to Media ITE.

She added, “He’s out of his mind. I mean, he did his whole first campaign around ‘lock her up.’ Like, this is his motto. I take him at his word when he says that he’s going to round up people."
