Ocasio-Cortez Sorry for Banning Press But ‘Sanctuary Space’ from Media Needed
Breitbart ^ | August 20, 2018 | Penny Starr

Posted on 08/21/2018 6:23:00 AM PDT by EdnaMode

Socialist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a break from her House campaign to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District but made up for lost time this weekend on Twitter by apologizing for banning the press from recent events while defending her move because supporters may need a “sanctuary space” away from the media.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

@Ocasio2018

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Retweeted Matthew Yglesias Catching up on how this became a thing while I was gone.

Biggest critique is it should‘ve been labeled “private,” even though we’d said prior it was closed to press.

Genuine Q?: how should we label a free campaign event, open to all, that’s a sanctuary space? Still private?

A sanctuary space from the media? Imagine if Trump said something like that.

In short, she is another thin-skinned snowflake wannabe dictator.

This is a great strategy going forward.

Not having to face questions from a friendly MSM will only make her message stronger!

Exactly. Sarah Sanders should say it in the intro to the daily press briefing, and then summarily kick them out one by one, saying it is a sanctuary space.

She’s really going to need a safe space when she gets to congress. Nancy Pelosi is going to introduce her to some harsh realities of the pecking order on Capitol Hill.

I'm sure that these people also very much appreciated sanctuary space from the media as well.

What exactly does ‘sanctuary space’ really mean?

It sounds like some science term, where nothing much happens, and everything is in some solitary confinement.

You can be certain that the media would find no humor or irony in this.

A wonderful little Commie she is ... just like every other sad sack Commie thruout history. It's all Nirvana for themselves, and total disaster for everyone else.

The left will NEVER learn from history !!!

The first debate with a real Conservative will expose this person for how competent she is...politically speaking of course.

That assumes that she wins the General. Her primary opponent is still on the ballot, and he has the endorsement of powerful, influential Democrats.

AND the press won't complain much because she has a "D" by her name and they're stupid and easy to play.

Is the mockingbird media squawking about this? This is a clear avoidance of press coverage - how can a free and open press continue to keep those in power accountable if they have no access?

I don’t think she’s wrong, but the difference in the tone of the media’s reaction between her saying it and a GOP candidate saying the same thing would be pretty phenomenal.

She believes she’s another Obama and the media will be treating her like Obama.
