As Twitchy readers know, AOC recently spoke with Jen ‘Circle Back’ Psaki about using government regulation to stifle the speech of people like Tucker Carlson, who she claims clearly engages in ‘incitement of violence’.
What does this incitement to violence look like? Telling the public what liberals are doing. That’s it. That’s why she hates Tucker Carlson.
Unsurprisingly, AOC was quite pleased to hear that Tucker and Fox News were parting ways, and the congresswoman turned the camera on herself to spread her speech-squashing satisfaction on the perfect platform for such pronouncements: Chinese-owned TikTok.
She summarized her thoughts by saying ‘deplatforming works and it is important’.

That’s right, according to Authoritarian Ocasio-Cortez, it is important to silence dissenting opinions.
An entire generation of activist progressives have been raised to participate in our political system by declaring their opponents to be evil and then trying to silence them because they have declared them to be evil.
We’re left with young people who lack the intellect to defend their ideas, coupled with a moral conviction of their rightness that’s barely distinguishable from religion.
Yeah deplatforming does work in most cases (it won't in Carlson's case) but it is also the tool of people whose ideas either can't stand scrutiny or debate and/or those with totalitarian impulses https://t.co/H4F7f46FTK

Exactly this. AOC is right that deplatforming works.
When you’ve trained your core supporters to oppose whomever you accuse of ‘hate’, but they have the intellectual depth of a Mojave mud puddle, exposure to other viewpoints cannot be tolerated.
Deplatforming does work – to keep people from thinking and changing their minds. Totalitarians understand this.
She's going to cheer deplatforming until it happens to someone she likes. Then it will be called violence. https://t.co/Gn8VKUMjdA

That’s how the game is played.
Deplatforming my opponents is ‘battling hate’.
Deplatforming me is an act of ‘hate’.
When you are unable to debate your viewpoints you resort to calls for censorship of your political opponents like AOC does here and most libs do because they don't have an ideology
Why can Jamaal Bowman debate Byron Donalds on Gun Reform but AOC can't debate MTG on Climate? https://t.co/g2vz94jqBA

This guy gets it.
When you can't win the battle of ideas, deplatforming is your only option. https://t.co/DjCmofod7I

Thankfully, many people are paying attention.
AOC needs to be deplatformed!! https://t.co/USzdvu5eex

Yes, she does, and the mechanism the Constitution gives us to do that is voting.
Convincing people to vote how you want when ideas are exchanged freely is hard.
The easier, lazier, approach is to pretend your opponents are Nazis. Nobody should, of course, listen to Nazis … and that’s how we get the Bronx Censor Queen.
Wanna be dictator https://t.co/x5hv6dQ1FG

Sorry, AOC, if you stop everyone else from speaking, you’re a dictator.
Deplatforming is the tool of whiny losers who know they can't win debates in a marketplace of ideas. If he was really as awful as she claims, then he would've been gone a while ago.
I can't see Carlson being deplatformed for long.
— Corbin Spencer, online safety expert (@corbinspencer1) April 25, 2023
Yeah, we think AOC is being a bit naïve to believe Tucker’s exit from Fox News is tantamount to ‘deplatforming’. It’s more a matter of where he’ll be ‘platformed’ next, and his reach very well could be larger.
AOC, The Squad and the entire Democratic Party have successfully gotten their supporters to fully embrace Fascism while convincing them they're fighting against it.

They’re certainly embracing many of their tools.
Isn't censoring the same thing as "deplatforming"? So she's celebrating censorship… pic.twitter.com/sOSd2mrOQ1

LOL. Well, yes, she is, but only for the people she has decreed are ‘bad’, so it’s okay.
We all know she wants to date him LoL

LOLOLOL! Nice.

When AOC crashes there will be a very big mess
I was about to say… I don’t know when she is going to get her comeuppance, but it will be big, public and very messy. She’s a no good, horrible, terrible person.
If Democrats had the power, we would have gulags in America. Of that I have no doubt. They have no tolerance for other peoples’ opinions. They don’t even consider them to be people.
Typical little commie BTH. Raised as a rich kid under capitalism and it turns her into a braindead Dung Beetle pushin’ commie crap off on everybody. It’s funny, she doesn’t live like a communist here in the U.S.. If she believed in communism she’d be back in Puerto Rico helping those dumbasses bail themselves out of their third world sh*thole.
What I dont understand is ... Carlson isnt really silenced. Folks like AOC think its a win...but in his next form...sans overbearing showrunners and activist CEOs.... what shall he do? Does she really beleive this diminishes his ability to speak openly? As pointed out numerous time.... Fox needed him more than he needed them at this point. Its not like this is the first move towards the left Fox has made in the last few years. Its been a subtle transformation that only serves to consolidate additional media control of the nation at the cost of millions of viewers. Fox has made their choice... lets watch them crash and burn.
What will get her eventually is her pure unbridled stupidity. Its incredible she has a place in congress. Even if she was selected like an actor at a casting call, Id have figured her lack of intelligence would have overwhelmed her by now. Turns out even morons can do quite well in Congress if theyre loud and can virtue signal well.
LET THE 2023 CORD-CUTTING GAMES BEGIN!!!
(that’s a swipe - and a challenge - at those here who continue to play a role in buoying then biased cable/broadcast media)
Deplatforming can be a tort I believe.
Tucker Carlson will find out why and by what means he wound up losing his job at Fox.
She’s absolutely correct, deplatforming works and is effective. The left are true believers and always fight for their ideals.
Could this commie ninny be any more annoying.
In 1967, Polish mercenary Rafal Ganowicz was asked what it felt like to take human life, “I wouldn’t know, I’ve only ever killed Communists”.
Fox thrills AOC, the view, morning joe, etc. boycott Fox, they are Bud light now.
I haven’t had cable TV in at least 4 years. I only watched Tucker and that was the segments that were posted on YouTube.
Instead of Fox News, I would highly recommend “Real America’s Voice,” (”RAV”) online at https://americasvoice.news/ (I keep “RAV” in a open tab on my browser even when I’m not watching it, so that I can easily switch to it.)
From their website, they are available on: Dish 219, Samsung TV Plus 1029, Pluto TV 240, ROKU, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Select TV 106. The “Real America’s Voice” app is available for streaming on your “smart TV” or through one of the above streaming devices.
I highly recommend “The War Room” hosted by Steve Bannon. It’s on from 10-12 am Mon.-Sat. and 5-6 pm. (The schedule varies slightly on Saturday and Sunday and I think some are re-broadcasts.)
There are also video clips on the “Real America’s Voice” site from various programs.
And then, there is always “The War Room” website https://warroom.org/ for reviewing show highlights of guests and important news and information.
My computer might function as a smart TV using a program list website.
This program list website might first link to (and cause to run) a Trump video, then a DeSantis video, then a Carlson video, etc.
If I don’t like the programming, I might switch to another program list website.
A program list website would do what TV network managements typically have done. Mere individuals would have the ability to do what only NBC, CBS, ABC could do back in the 1950s.
I or the program list website might set priority levels for programs. Carlson might have a 90 level priority and Trump a 92 level priority.
AOC does not exist in a political or cultural vacuum. She is the very symbol of disunity. Every time she speaks and with every action she takes, it is clear that the consensus of commonly held decent values that once united Americans not longer exists in modern, diverse America.
AOC obviously wants to date Tucker.
Diversity is Perversity.
The left’s celebration will be short lived. Carlson will likely go private rather than jump to another “news” outlet. He’ll probably develop a podcast or online show where — to the left’s horror — he’ll have no boundaries or editors lording over his content.
And he’ll have all of his previous audience and more. This isn’t going to go well for the cancel culturalists…
The story is not finished with Tucker. He is by far the strongest voice out there and will take a stronger crowd with him if he is uncensored by his next employer.
