Welp, looks like Jake Tapper can add himself to the list of press banned by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Tapper’s willingness to hold people like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accountable is pretty refreshing. And naturally, it’s really sticking in lefties’ craws:

You don't know what you're talking about

Thanks for reminding us the most accurate place you report from is and always will be your paycheck, @jaketapper

The look on his face says, "I know this is a lie, but I am getting paid sooooo much money . . . ."

@jaketapper you and @CNNPolitics are not honest brokers.

You have to tell ALL of #America, the RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, why we the people. cannot have what the rest of the modern world enjoys. Period.

Especially a country w/ a #FiatCurrency system. #MedicareForAll

This is extremely embarrassing and by any standard of journalistic integrity should never have been published. How are you going to fact check Bernie and not even bother doing a minimal fact check of the author’s statement?
