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 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?

I don’t blame her for wanting to do this, but at the same time, it is still rich irony.
It would be a funny way for her to end a briefing.
“OK leave now. We need our sanctuary space.”
Cheap bone to throw the press in a way they’d likely have to cover.
Don’t cry for me little snowflakes....

I put cell phones and Facebook at the top of the list of "causes". Would love to have a real clinical psychologist comment about this fly-off-the-handle phenom. Rooster, any lectures you've seen discuss this?
Facebook destroys true community fellowship but substituting its own fake communities built on yellow journalism and hysteria. After a while, you begin to imagine that America is only what's inside your little thumb-flipping screen.
Reading a 1940s book by Normal Vince Peale and his theory is that a lack of religion and faith in people's lives contributes to human instability. I think he's got a good point.
Real nice comment, GOPJ. Can’t wait to see these criminals exposed.
Many people who've "found God" make a similar point that they found serenity in their lives and that they felt "centered."
Deserves a repeat.
Thanks poconopundit...
...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...
The MSM gives her butt ache already ,LOL
It seems that Liberals have, for the most part, become Post-Modernists who believe that reality is what they they want it to be...not what it actually is. That leads them to believe that Truth and morality are also what they want it to be.
Of course any sane person knows that is absolute rubbish.
But the Post-Modernists live in echo chambers that tell them to ignore all voices that challenge their beliefs. They have this drilled into them in schools and colleges and then the media and their friends help them create a bubble in which they can continue to believe this baloney.
They put their ideology ahead of the truth.
They are delicate because they have little or no connection to reality.
So when they encounter something--anything--that hints that they are on the wrong track, they panic.
Libs are so unplugged from reality that if they actually learned of their predicament, they would be shattered.
Given that, any hint that they are actually living in a parallel universe is an existential threat.
That's why to them, Trump and we deplorables are not just misguided, we are insane.
I think somewhere deep down they realize that if their version of reality is to continue, they will have to "get rid" of the President and his supporters.
We are living in truly dangerous times.
and if the MSM ignores her she go topless to get them back ,LOL
The idea is to let the Communist kids run their own little camp with dictatorial rules and no incentives. Let them choose their own leaders at first.
Then, after a week, you tell them, "You can no longer select your leaders. You must now obey them!"
And maybe you have a parallel Capitalist camp to show them the difference.
If done correctly, by the end of 2 weeks maybe we can flush Marxism out of their systems.
The idea needs to be worked on. How do you reenact with actors what happened in Germany/Japan/China/Soviet Union? Rather than read about it in a text book, we need a play-acting game so kids (and adults) learn.
We pay 10s of millions to climatologist to study Hurricanes and then they preach to us about global warming and a "sustainable environment."
Let's divert some of that money to create a class of societologists who run their computer models and predict 10 years ahead of time that Venezuela will be a basket case. And tell us that Elizabeth Warren's theories are buffalo crap.
Having your own business is a marvelous educator on cause and effect in society. Many of the radicals never did that. They got their Ph.D. degrees, never earned an deplorably working dollar: they went straight into professor roles. Then the cycle of Post Modern brainwashing continues as they poison the minds of our sons and daughters.
Have not run across a Jordan Peterson lecture that discusses why Leftists are so unhinged. But I agree it's become dangerous.
As long as Our Administration is protected physically and we still have the ballot box, we should be ok.
If Blacks turn away in significant numbers from their Democrat Mental Prison, that's a big turning point. It's why Candace Owens' and Kanye West's work buttressing self-reliance and individualism are so important to America's future as a civil and united nation.
But she has protective gender and coloration; the media would not dare speak truthfully about her if the truth was unflattering. After all, TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH!
Splitting the D vote may be good for the R candidate.
Just about any idea that has merit should be on the table.
What bothers me most about the current political climate in the U. S., is that we are allowing our K-Graduate school kids to be monopolized by Leftists with their ideology.
Why in the same hell won’t anyone talk about it, address the problems with this and get us on track to end this?
It’s not just the Leftist ideology being indoctrinated into our kids either. It’s the sexual perversion of little kid’s minds at ages so young they have no idea what is up from down.
This is nothing more than child abuse, I don’t care what your thoughts on homosexuality or the LGBT causes are.
If we’re talking about kids in their mid teens, I have less of a problem with explaining things if we must at some point.
Presenting these materials to very young kids is just abuse, nothing else.
Totally agree. I guess this is what Betsy Voss is about. Move education to better enable private choice.
