Last week, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez BETRAYED her lapdog media by locking them out of her town hall, and as you’d expect, they lost their minds over it. After everything they’ve done FOR HER, she locks THEM OUT?! The nerve.
HA HA HA HA HA HA!
We’re not sure what’s funnier, their temper tantrum for being locked out OR her medisaplaining why she did it.
See for yourself.
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? https://t.co/0TO7qOk09h

It became ‘a thing’ when she was gone.
Who talks like this?
And sorry, but the biggest critique we’ve heard is that it made Alexandria look like a coward. *shrug*
Not trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, but we are genuinely trying to create environments of where our constituents feel comfortable expressing honestly & engaging in discourse.
Usually people pay $5k/plate for that, but we were trying to make that enviro for all.

Because the media doesn’t make the people feel safe.
You catch that?
To be honest, the event was very successful.
People were much more comfortable sharing their personal issues with healthcare, housing, and immigration. It was a safe + powerful environment for change.
My apologies if the situation upset or alarmed journalists or constituents.

ROFL.
Her apologies guys. She’s super sorry if it alarmed or upset the media.
Ok, this was definitely funnier than their temper tantrum.
What's a sanctuary space?

It’s sort of like a spa minus the crappy music.
I can understand the not wanting to give Shapiro an audience. But between this, and your skipping out on Real Time on the 3rd, you aren't doing yourself any favors by appearing intolerant of dissent.

Bingo.
.@Ocasio2018, I don't care who thinks it was OK to keep the press out. It is NOT OK! It is disturbing & infuriating to think you'd even consider it. All Americans have a right to know what every candidate and elected is doing & saying at public meetings. Transparency is critical.

Not a good look for a woman of the little people. In fact, if Trump kicked the media out we’d hear nothing but how elitist he is, and how cowardly.
Way to go, Alexandria.
it can not be a "a free campaign event, open to all," if you exclude the press

Just a helpful hint – if you’re ticking off the people who you want to vote for you THIS MUCH, you’re doing it wrong.
Good talk.
