Why are people so upset about her just because she will win a seat without having taken any bribe money from Wall Street and big pharma?

Let her be one of the few members of Congress who do not take marching orders from their Wall Street overlords. I fail to see why that is so horrible.

Someone didn't read the article before posting because they are triggered by the existence of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and just can't help themselves.

According to the article, she banned the media from a select town hall event with the express purpose of letting her constituency speak without fear of appearing in the newspaper.

“We wanted to help create a space where community members felt comfortable and open to express themselves without the distraction of cameras and press. These were the first set of events where the press has been excluded,” [Spokesman Corbin] Trent said. “This is an outlier and will not be the norm.”

They have been given their marching orders from right wing sites to attack her for absolutely nothing at all. I am sure she is hip to this tactic as she is a very savvy educated an intelligent woman. She has facts and the truth on her side and they hate that.

perhaps because she does the very things that trump gets excoriated for(often wrongly) by the press, yet this girl gets a pass? trump says FAKE news is a problem, and the mainstream media reads and proclaims that trump hates all news, yet trump constantly takes the time to let the press in just about every where, generally always stops and answers questions even when he is on his way somewhere, and then ms cortez bans the media from her events, and not one peep from the media even asking her why.


this just goes to show that the media is in the pockets of the democrat party.

What ???
You mean the socsolist doesn't believe in the free press.

She could shoot a journalist ( if she could find one, more rare than a harry frog )
in Queens and get elected.

Shes makes some pretty ignorant and uniformed statements, so of course she doesn't want any of that documented
