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?

Well, they ought to play her game, and TOTALLY ignore her. NO press coverage at all!

libtardism creates snowflakes who are hypersensitive and can’t cope with stress, and incompetent helpless parasites who can’t survive without government help

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

This is the same press who collaborated (whined) last week that the President was being unfair with them, that they were able to toss nasty names at him but he was not permitted to smack 'em right back ... what a bunch of *snowflakes*, this modern 'press' !!!

Corrected.

Mustn’t let anyone outside the room see that the candidate has an IQ similar to a potted plant (with apologies to all vegetation confined to pots).

It's actually very sad -- and a grave mental disorder affecting this young woman and so many others.  Last week I circulated an important health alert for OCD sufferers:

Understanding Occasional Cortex Disorder: A Public Health Poster (satire)

I suspect that medicine used for TDS, such as Trumpazine will partially alleviate the symptoms of OCD.

She’s developing into a really smooth, slick liar; in the mold of Barky Obunga and Bill Clinton. In fact, that’s where the monicker, “Slick Willie” came from. From his talent at lying his way out of shady situations.

The 'elite' press (think New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN) get their 'good stuff' from the corrupt 'intelligence' bureaucracy.

Why spend money on investigative reporters when the taxpayer pays for 'intelligence' gathering used by the bastards in the CIA?

"Intelligence" men and women like Brennan sell out their country for favors and cash... Well, the 'cash' comes in the form of help when they retire with their fat security clearances - big fat tickets to sell (on the open market) to 'the press' and/or foreign governments who need 'consultants'.

We're being taken to the cleaners by these crooks - it's why they're fighting Trump with everything they've got.

Ever wonder why trade deals favor ANY and all countries of the world EXCEPT THE UNITED STATES? Is it that our people are stupid?

No.

It's because our 'deep state' is on the take - corrupt to the core - with 'intelligence' protecting the 'legal' criminals.

Our legislatures haven't been able to secure our borders the last 30 years but they damn well know how to write laws that allow the deep state to rape the American taxpayer. Laws the allow 'technicalities'... legal criminal acts...

Trump's 'drain the swamp' is going to uncover all the traitors to our country... all the traitors 'our intelligence' people protect, the traitors Congress protects, the people who sell out our country using their 'security clearances'... as a credit card they never have to pay back...

It sounds like Princess Cocktail Waitress is serious about her “sanctuary space”. LOL. She’s nuts.

What exactly does ‘sanctuary space’ really mean?

Let's call our detention camps "Sanctuary Centers" where snowflakes can find isolation from the day-to-day stresses of life and decision making and find the freedom of manual labor and limited diet choices.

All she has to do is flash those big brown eyes their way and they’ll be outta there before you can say ‘Democratic Socialism’.

Voila! No more media.

Would ‘delusional centers’ be the more appropriate term?

Sure wish I had sanctuary spaces when I went off to bootcamp in the late 1970s.

I hear ya. However, she gets loads of free publicity from a supportive media that avoids exposing her ignorance.

The empty suit often wins.

Love how she blames it on her supporters. She’s fine with the media presence, but her SUPPORTERS need a safe space away from the media. Right, because they’re the ones crumbling like day-old, overbaked pastry under even fluffy, softball questioning by the media. It’s only because she cares SO much about her supporters that she had to take this step. No, really.

The media is so supportive, that they barely talk to her. ;)
Oh, they talk ABOUT her, but limit actual interaction WITH her.

Have you ever thought about the vast number of rabid anti-Trumpers who have self-destructed? Seriously, nearly everyone who attacks him seems to suffer destructive consequences. Its almost a cosmic thing.

My theory is that they are highly emotional creatures who have fragile egos that makes them psychologically susceptible to triggering whenever something is said that challenges their beliefs. They instinctively lash out and in so doing say reckless and stupid things out of anger.

There was a fascinating book published in the mid 90’s titled Dinosaur Brains that describes the emotion driven responses we see in the world around us so frequently.
