In an effort to defend banning the media from her public town hall event, celebrity socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she had to get rid of the journos because they would make the attendees feel unsafe:

Our community is 50% immigrant. Folks are victims of DV, trafficking, + have personal medical issues.

This town hall was designed for residents to feel safe discussing sensitive issues in a threatening political time.

We indicated previously that it would be closed to press.

There is not enough popcorn in the world for what we’re about to witness as libs take on the press:

And how does the presence of reporters make people feel unsafe?

It’s hilarious:

The liberal media making lefties feel unsafe is the funniest thing I've read in awhile here on Twitter dot com https://t.co/zcZm6ZA7GI

And the journo-free “safe space” is coming. It’s already the way Antifa operates, why not Dem town halls, too?

Nothing could go wrong with a “no press in safe spaces” ethic https://t.co/lXSBymK6lb

She should just call it a “private meeting” in the future:

Then it's not a town hall, it's a private meeting. https://t.co/tkrsfQsyjz

You cannot ban members of the press from events that are otherwise open to the public.

That is not how it works.

Period. https://t.co/sqe9HWTEEb
