Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is facing 2 lawsuits for blocking Twitter users based on their personal viewpoints.

Details: Former Democratic New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind filed a suit against Ocasio-Cortez after a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that President Trump violated the Constitution in blocking critics on Twitter. YouTuber and NY-11 Republican Congressional candidate Joey Saladino tweeted he'd also filed a suit against the freshman lawmaker after she blocked him.

Nicely done!

She’s going to get tired of having to get up early and go to Congress one of these days and take a high paying gig in some left wing think tank. She will be the drain plug.

It’s funny to see it come back on a liberal, but that really is a terrible ruling. I mean, how can you lose your right to block someone on Twitter just because you gained public office? And how high a public office does it need to be? Do local politicians now also have to let every nut case abuse them on Twitter all day? Can people just be nasty till they are blocked, and then sue? It’s... really just a terrible ruling.

I’m about fed up with all this drama crap. We have real problems in the world and the President is being constantly harassed by insane liberal creeps on Twitter, as well as the MSM fake news propaganda platform egging the insane on the comments are psychotic babble, yet a court feels it has to rule that it is a right to “free speech”.

President Trump can simply “mute” people on Twitter. He’d never see their tweets and no one would ever knew m

The PROG/LIB/DEMO/COMMIE Judge made the ruling because he/she/it hated PRESIDENT TRUMP.

LET THEM REAP WHAT THEY SOW.

“More to come I hope.”

According to FBN, there are hearings this week or next regarding social media. This decision that Trump can’t block users, but everyone else can, should generate an interesting line of questioning. Either the First Amendment applies, or it doesn’t.
