Daily Caller: Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blocked The Daily Caller on Twitter, either Tuesday night or sometime on Wednesday.
The dispute that led to the congresswoman’s block began when Jon Levine, a media editor for The Wrap, tweeted a video Tuesday of Ohio meteorologist Jamie Simpson losing his cool on the air when viewers complained that his coverage of a tornado warning interrupted a new episode of “The Bachelorette.”
“This guy reminds me of every climate scientist warning people we have 12 years left to cut emissions in half before our future is irreversibly damaged & all the GOP wants to do is yell about communist cow farts ‘No! We’re not going back to the show!’” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response to Levine.
The Caller responded to Ocasio-Cortez with a screenshot of a Washington Examiner tweet, which included a quote from her MSNBC town hall, where she blamed a staffer “that had a very bad day at work,” for an unfinished draft of the “Green New Deal” being uploaded to her website. The Caller captioned the tweet, “Communist cow farts were a part of your Green New Deal, though.” MORE
I thought as an elected official she cannot block anyone, much less the press. I recall Trump was forced to unblock people. She is proposing transformative economic policies…she better read the oppositions concerns and pushback.
stop2think – That’s what I thought, too. How is anyone in politics (Except Trump) allowed to block anyone all of a sudden? Especially a news organization.
Cuz Trump! That’s why the double standard. I hope DC files suit.
On another note but AOC related, she’s a manchurian candidate for teh justice democrats

Watch at least teh first 10 minutes. If you’re not outraged watch it again.
It’s a special rule for those with (R) by their name.
But I think DC should go to the same judge who ruled that Trump couldn’t block, and bring lots of cameras.
I’m sure AOC’s blocking will command a huge movement of Daily Caller non-readers to boycott. Way to go Cortex, you are the girl!
Ocasio blocking DC falls into the category of a little brat sticking her fingers in her ears and yelling “LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU!”
So the weatherman thinks his job is to keep people safe? Maybe. I thought his job was to present the weather. Factually. As accurately as possible. I’ll worry about my safety, thank you.
If you can’t stand the heat, sweetie – stay OUT of the garbage disposal! 😳
File a lawsuit!
if trump can’t block spammers. neither can aoc.
I wish she’d make up her mind. First she said we have 12 years left, then she said it’s a joke, now she says we have 12 years
