Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) argued Tuesday that television networks have an “ethical obligation” not to air President Trump’s upcoming address to the nation if it’s not “rooted in evidence and fact.”
“I don’t think we should be contributing to any platforming of lies about our election,” the lefty “Squad” lawmaker told a reporter on Capitol Hill.
Ocasio-Cortez suggested media outlets should review Trump’s remarks before deciding whether to put the speech on the air.
“Many news outlets, oftentimes, may receive transcripts, and I think we have an ethical obligation to not air things that undermine our election that are not rooted in evidence and fact,” the congresswoman continued.
She added, “Of course, it depends on the contents of his speech.”
Earlier Tuesday, Trump confirmed that his planned address to the nation Thursday night will concern “free and fair elections,” among other topics.
“It’s really, really big for us and our country has to shape up,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office. “But that’s what we’re going to be talking about.”

From the same commie party that claims the 2024 election was stolen from them..seems only THEY can claim elections were rigged but we cant
Drug Addict AOC
Heard that in March.
AOC broke law by spending $19k in campaign cash on ketamine-therapy shrink for ‘personal use’: complaint
Translation from the commie: We have the outcome pre-determined and the fix in, we don't want that to change. Screw the voters.
AOC and the phrase “ethical obligations” are diametrically opposed points. She has no ethics.
Democrats fear Trump kicking ass and taking names in public.
How does one come to that conclusion about the president of the united states?
It’s an interesting party of whacko’s. They live in an alterative universe and can say pretty much any irrational, idiotic, nutty thing they want and they all just nod their heads in agreement like zombies.
If it were just the ketamine talking it would be less troublesome because that's something you could stop - possibly bringing about more rational thought. It's much worse than that. She and her ego-driven co-idiots actually believe their sophomoric bs and see themselves as historic figures who will bring about great transformative change.
They're clearly too clueless to understand how much pain, suffering, destruction, and human demoralization they will cause if they are allowed to.
Ethical obligation says the bartendress who stole her fellow workers tips from the tip jar.
AOC you stupid ignorant misguided Communist. He doesn’t need the networks to get his message out. There’s this new thing called social media. Perhaps you’ve heard of it?
I’d laugh my ass off if Trump drives them all crazy enough to come out and draw attention to it then step out and talk about UFOs..
I just wish she would sit down and shut up!! I know she won’t but maybe the Dems will kick her to the curb. She could not win the presidency without the Dems.

I’m old enough to be her father and if she wants to be disciplined by a father figure then I’d be happy to accommodate her...over and over again.
She’s drank the demoRAT cool-aid there’s nothing on or in her mind other then pre-vomited propaganda...
