this just goes to show that the media is in the pockets of the democrat party.
She simply wanted her constituents to be able to speak their mind openly without having the press recording everything everyone says. She will be available to the press again after this event. Whats the problem? She is not taking any bribe money from Wall Street so its not like she is talking behind closed doors to her big shot donors telling her what to vote for, like more than 90% of Congress members today. The press has no access to these closed door donor meetings either, in fact, the mainstream press is often owned by the same big money donors that fund the puppets in Congress.

Cortez is a change to all of that corruption. I say that is a good thing. We can double that number by electing union ironworker and veteran Randy Bryce for Congress, who will challenge the right hand man of Wall Street puppet Paul Ryan in Wisconsin's 1st district: https://www.randybryceforcongress.com/

So banning CNN's Acosta from a Trump event was not so bad after all?

What exactly was her/their fear of the press? What do they have to hide?
Displaying her ignorance of how socialist has failed in almost every country it was ever tried? Why do socialist think people in countries like in Scandinavia are starting to reject socialist ideas. No need to point out failing socialist countries like Venezuela, Cuba or North Korea is there.

I guess we now know why socialist candidates that Cortez supported in recent primaries mostly failed. Simple..their message sucks.....

Apples and oranges. She did not single out any one reporter and insult them and she agreed to speak with the press...after she held a meeting with her constituency. Why is that so difficult for you to understand and to differentiate between the two? You cannot be serious in comparing this to what the orange traitor has done by demonizing the press at his events to the point of having his fans ganging up on one particular reporter.

I wish that there were more politicians like Ocasio-Cortez! Can you imagine how great the United States would be with more people like her? I really don’t understand why people hate Democratic-Socialism so much, it’s a system that would work well.

LOL, she is not running to become a dictator, which is what you refer to. She simply is advocating for what our closest allies and successful countries have implemented long ago, and what Franklin D Roosevelt had in mind when he advocated for a "Second bill of rights". And she takes no bribe money from Wall Street in the process so its not like she is taking marching orders behind closed doors. She is simply a straight shooter. Support her and you will have a fighter for ordinary, salt of the earth Americans.

Do you have any idea of what the work 'Traitor' means and what the punishment for being a traitor is? Are you advocating Trump execution...are you really serious.


And yes I can compare kicking out one reporter to kicking out all reporters....the latter being the worst.

Why don't you understand that Medicare and Social Security are socialist programs that have worked and worked well? Why are you comparing what the USA has in place to these other countries and their particular policies?
