An aide to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday said the freshman congresswoman blocks people on Twitter if their input isn’t “constructive” - but a federal judge demanded that she come and explain that herself.
Campaign manager Rebecca Rodriguez laid out Ocasio-Cortez’s online habits as part of a hearing in a lawsuit filed by former Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who claims the Democratic darling wrongfully blocked him online over his “criticism” of her.
Hikind, a longtime Jewish leader, is among more than 20 people Ocasio-Cortez has muted online, a decision she makes “if she feels the posts start reaching a point where it’s not constructive, where it’s an attack and where the person becomes so polarizing that she cannot have a conversation with them and they’re amplifying their platform,” explained Rodriguez.
**SNIP**
He later told reporters, “AOC may have not liked what I said but I think it was so incredibly cowardly for AOC to have blocked me.”

MSLSD headline - Cortex dragged into court! Well, maybe not...
But I thought they made it so our President is not allowed to block anyone.
Do not post to me!!
Same silliness here..
If Trump is not allowed to block, then NO federal official is allowed to block.
No public official is permitted to block unless the messages are advocating of violence. That is the standard the courts applied, that’s the standard that exists.
Twitter is a private company and should be able to decide how it runs it’s business.
Just another in a long line of double standards.
Over and over again.
Day after day.
Double standard after double standard.
And on and on it goes.
They won’t let TRUMP block anyone!
Because carbon tax... the dissent did not pay its internet consumption carbon tax!
When the airwaves are involved, the federal government should have a say.
In cases of common carrier monopoly or duopoly, governments should have a say.
Neither of these exceptions applies to Twitter.
AOC should not be allowed to block anyone on her Twitter account.
It’s the First Amendment.
Lefties actually teach that feelings trump logic. I ran into this on a seminar where a shrink was preaching exactly that.
I knew he was a whack job when he later said most Christian males are apt to be child molesters.
Seriously, I am not making this up. This was in the mid-90’s when bashing White Christian males was gaining full momentum.
So it’s ingrained in this little puke to think like that. To her it’s normal, just like with any other screeching leftard. This mentality has a lot to do with why the left thinks they can impeach Trump, it’s because they feel he should go. They could give a rats a$$ about what the Constitution says, it’s their feelings that count.
You should. Just for principal !!
Eff the Twitter Nazis.
And STFU, n00b.
sooo trump can block people if their comments aren’t ‘constructive’?
They did.
So... AOC has such a superior intellect that she can deduce exactly what someone is, potentially (perhaps), going to say... IOW, she knows what you mean before you can either think it or say it...
How do you "spell" or "think" double-tap in wetbackese?
