Socialist candidate Ocasio-Cortez has refused access to the media. The Washington Examiner reports:
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez refused to allow the media to attend or cover two of her recent campaign town hall events in her congressional district, which spans parts of the Bronx and Queens.
Reporters were banned from a gathering on Sunday in Corona, Queens, and another event in the Bronx last Wednesday, Aug. 8.
Ocasio-Cortez, who beat incumbent Joe Crowley in the Democratic primary this summer, did not want reporters at her community events because they asked too many questions at another gathering, according to her campaign manager, who said she was “mobbed” by the media at an event early last week “even though we said no Q&A and no one-on-one [interviews].”
By Friday afternoon, campaign spokesman Corbin Trent told the Washington Post the campaign will no longer block reporters from attending her events. He also defended the two bans, saying they live-streamed the meetings.
Is this what America under Socialism would look like?
Cortez This silly enthusiastic girl is basically stupid and knows not what she spouts.
She is acting like a true Communist, banning things. Leave her continue she attracts suckers and non workers. She’ll implode on her own. Bernie too.
She knows how ignorant she is but didn’t realize how ignorant she sounded. So just ban the media so no one will know. ???????
socialist is code word for communism
While I can’t agree with banning the media completely I DO believe that some reporters should be banned, for instance the daily briefing. Sarah Sanders has taken some very negative abuse from some reporters, who were sent to the briefing to disrupt the procedure. Any reporter attending should have their question ready, ask the question, get the answer, and then shut up. Some of these networks are there for political purposes only and will twist the reports to serve the network, not report the news.
A “politician”…??? I call THAT a CHILD who HASN’T finished SCHOOL yet…..KNOWS NOTHING, just BLABS and when asked a REAL question then she REFERS to Bernie…..Go ASK Bernie…..!!!???
She obviously doesn’t want reporters to report about how stupid she is, and exposing the fact that she doesn’t know what she is talking about.
Can you imagine any other conservative Republican candidate banning the media!!??
She was totally panicked that someone might ask her to back up what she spews out with real facts, which she can’t do, or they would fact check her and find out that she is a liar, which anyone with a brain already knows.
And the democrats have the nerve to attack Trump and his administration for the way they have treated the media, send her ass back to Mexico.
You are so right. You head right on the head.
Actuall, her handlers have told her to bar the press. This little twit isn’t just ignorant, she is terminally, drop-dead stupid! They could very easily get her out of any venue after she makes her pre-programmed speach, but she is so embarassingly stupid, they don’t ANY press even in the room.
Banning the media and free speech in the hallmark of Socialism and usually ends in liquidation of the opposition!
Gulp! Isn’t that what’s going on in the USA?
What media is being banned? Having issues with the media is not even close to the same thing. Apparently, you don’t remember Obama complaining about Fox News regularly.
START LOOKING AT AT ALL THE MEXICO SOCIALIST THAT HAVE NAMES LIKE OSCAR GONZLEZ -HERNANDEZ- PORTILLO- SANCHEZ -CARRASCO -SORRY ASS PEREZ. THEY THINK THAT MAKES THEM SOMETHING TO USE 5-6 NAMES – AND THEY STILL JUST A BUNCH OF SOCIALIST COMMIE WET’S FROM SCUMICO OR MEXICO- ONE IN THE SAME. DEPORT EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY ONE OF THEM BACK TO THEIR BELOVED MOTHER LAND – SINCE THEY LIKE TO SPEAK THAT CRAP LANGUAGE HERE AND FLY THAT TOILET PAPER USELESS FLAY ON US SOIL. THAT TAKE AN AHOLE IN THE FIRST DEGREE. AND WHILE WE ARE FEEDING THEM OUT OF OUR TAX FUNDS.
I really wish people would stop referring to this ilk as socialists! The crap tthey are spewing & believing is pure & simple communists speech!
ABSOLUTELY MAME !!!
SHE IS JUST ANOTHER MEXICAN WITH ABOUT 5 NAMES SHE CAN USE TO FOOL THE PUBLIC FROM REALLY KNOWING WHO AND WHAT THE SOCIALIST COMMIE BITCH IS!!!
It’s because Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t want to embarrass herself anymore is why she hides from the media. She seems like a sweet young lady who has been brainwashed by the twisted left. I hope when she grows up she sees she was used and comes on the conservative side. We were all young and stupid once.
NOT HER THAT WAS BREED INTO HER AT AN EARLY AGE BY MOST LIKELY HER WELFARE TAKING PARENTS – THAT LIVED OFF THE TAX PAYERS ALL HER AND THE REST OF HER ANCHOR BABY BROTHER AND SISTERS. SOME ONE NEED TO LOOK INTO WHERE THE MONEY OR GRANTS CAME FROM TO ALLOW HER TO BECOME A COMMUNIST WELFARE BORDER SMUGGLER.
If you have done any reading at all about her, you’d know that her parents were not on welfare – father was an architect. You’re talking like you’re in a pack of teenage boys, and are letting them run away with you. Draw back a bit and take a breath.
Sorry Evy, I was never that stupid! I was raised in a liberal family but I knew how to think for myself. When I was 16 years old I was slapped in the face by my father because I dared to tell them they would regret the day they didn’t put up a fight when politicians on both sides of the aisle voted themselves pay raises! Your either brain washed or you learn how to think for yourself. It’s called critical thinking skills and she has none and they’re no longer teaching it in school/colleges.
Btty. You were a smart cookie in your younger day and I agree 100% with you that kids are no longer taught thinking skills in our schools & colleges. I know I was a school board member, In fact all liberal professors should be fired for brainwashing their students! I have had my fights with them face to face. And yes we must fight these career criminals in DC who vote themselves raises. I have written many letters on that subject. This is just one reason why I am a registered Independent. I loathe both self-serving political parties. We need term limits!
Where are these reports ? Censored?
This has to be fake news. I have not heard Jim Acosta whining.
Only until the Socialists Win and then have a Civil War to sort out which of their kind gets to lead and then only when all Q&A is pre-ordained! The survivors at this point are always very quiet and obedient!
Just read history that is not yet burned.
IF A CIVIL WAR DOES BREAK OUT OVER THESE ILLEGALS IN THE COUNTRY- YOU CAN LOOK FOR A HUGE MESKIN GRAVE YARD STARTED ALL OVER THE SOUTHERN PART OF THIS COUNTRY. THE US NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THE OLD LAW OF BOUNTY HUNTERS BRINGING THE ILLEGALS DEAD OR ALIVE TO COLLECT THEIR BOUNTY. THE WARRANTS SAID ONLY TO BRING THE BODY OF- IT DID NOT SAY DEAD OR ALIVE. IF THEY WANT TO COME PEACEABLY OK- AND IF THEY DECIDE TO NOT- WELL THAT WAS EVEN BETTER- NO FEEDING ETC. JUST A BACK HOE AND A TAPE MEASURE FOR 6 FOOT DEPTH. END OF PROBLEM. IN JUST WEEKS OR LESS THE WORD WOULD TRAVEL TO THE BEAST TRAIN IN MEXICO – TO HALT AND GO THE OTHER WAY BACK HOME
