Democratic congressional Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended banning press from a public town hall this week, saying the move was meant to protect residents of vulnerable communities.
Ocasio-Cortez on Friday responded to a tweet from Washington Post reporter Seung Min Kim, who wrote that the candidate is in for a rough time on Capitol Hill -- where reporters roam freely at all hours of the day and night -- if this is her attitude toward the press.
The reporter also tweeted that the campaign should have made the event private, rather than making it public and stopping the press from attending.

Has she reported those cases of domestic violence and human trafficking to the proper authorities?
Maybe Trump should appropriate this while kicking cnn to the curb.
no, she doesn’t want whatever howler she uncorks to be blasted all over al gore’s innerwebz.
...from the media.
AOC is learning that the more live coverage she gets, especially in a one-to-one interview, the worse she looks.
She must keep the unedited version of her away from the public.
She doesn’t like cat calls.
Miss Ocasio is now officially being handled. Who hired them?
Pelosi or Hoyer?
Hoyer couldnt muzzle her so now they want to make sure no one in the press hears her when she speaks.
“Ocasio-Cortez defends banning press from event: We wanted residents to feel safe”
Hmmm, perhaps she’s channeling the President. Maybe there’s some hope for her after all.
innerwebz?
Is that the same thing as the interweb thingy all the young folks are talking about?
There ya go! Even socialists don't trust the MSM!
Folks, I do believe she has admitted via her fear that the Press is indeed the Enemy of the People. LOL
I wonder...it’s generally bad practice to offend the media like this. Yes, her district is traditionally safe Democrat...however if anyone can fumble it away, she can.
I wonder, if it was open to the public, did her staff check ID’s of people who entered, to make sure they lived in her district and were not reporters? They probably checked for recording devices at least.
Does this twit not know that the press is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the DNC? The press would cover for her. Anyone at a Democratic candidate forum should consider the press to be their friend.
If the Democrats really want her to shut up and go away they should accuse her of secretly working for Trump to destroy the Democrat party.The zombie horde would turn on her in a heartbeat.

Her lips say no but her eyes say yes, yes YES!
My God, now they are coming right up through
the floor boards!!!
Want to hear me rap? I saw the best minds of my generation
destroyed by greed and avarice...
Look Larry, it’s only aspirin.
Sorry mam, we’ll have to take you in.
ahhhh..the making of a messiah
