AOC, the jumping-mad hoe (AOC was a broke cocktail waitress
upon entering US ConGress, four years later and reports say
somehow having net worth ~ $1.5M), tries to censor critics and
catcalls with Lawfare... free rage-jumping speech for her, not for you...


'Big Booty Latina' AOC Sued By Comedian She Blocked Over Catcall

Alongside Rashida Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez was the first female member of
the Democratic Socialists of America elected to serve in Congress.

Alex Stein, a political provocateur who called Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez his "favorite big booty Latina," is suing AOC for
blocking him on Twitter.

"She wants to kill babies but she’s still beautiful. You look very
beautiful in that dress. You look very sexy. Look at that booty on
AOC," he said last July amid a national debate over abortion.

"Look how sexy she looks in that dress. Oooh, I love it AOC. Hot, hot,
hot like a tamale," Stein continued.

Despite flashing a peace sign, she claimed that she was "actually
walking over to deck him."

    Here is a video he posted of the incident. I was actually walking
over to deck him because if no one will protect us then I’ll do it
myself but I needed to catch a vote more than a case today

Stein's lawsuit cites a decision by a federal appeals court which
ruled that then-President Donald Trump violated the constitutional
rights of several people after he blocked them on Twitter. Days after
the Trump ruling, AOC apologized to and settled a case brought by
former Brooklyn assemblyman Dov Hikind, who sued her for blocking him,
CNBC reports. AOC eventually lifted the block, and admitted that he
"has a First Amendment right to express his views and should not be
blocked for them."

Stein seeks the same response.

"I really don’t have any hard feelings for AOC," he said, adding "I
really would like to have her unblock me."

    If the congresswoman fights the complaint, it would reopen the
legal argument about the rights of political figures to prevent
certain individuals or groups from following them on social media
platforms.

    In 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court erased the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals ruling that Trump had violated the First Amendment rights
of the people he had blocked from his Twitter account while serving in
the White House. The Supreme Court ordered the appeals court to
dismiss the case as moot, because Trump by then was a private citizen.

Stein's suit claims AOC blocked him "in retaliation to Mr. Stein’s
exercise of his First Amendment right, because earlier that day Mr.
Stein, in the context of political commentary and satire, complimented
Ms. Cortez."

"Mr. Stein has a constitutional right to access Ms. Cortez’s Twitter
account as part of vigorous public comment and criticism," the filing
continues. "Ms. Cortez’s practice of blocking Twitter users she
disagrees with is unconstitutional and this suit seeks to redress that
wrong."
