“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezโ€™s communications director asked Twitter to bar users from sharing one of the New York congresswomanโ€™s previous tweets in support of protests that make people ‘uncomfortable,’ saying it was being used as ‘misinfo,'”ย The Federalist reported.

AOC’s communications director said that right-wing accounts are taking her last tweet from “an old thread on the defund movement” [it was a month ago], and “twisting it to imply AOC supports violence like what’s happening at the Capitol.”

She wants the misinformation to stop.

Uh, duh, it’s exactly what she said.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, “The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable. Activists take that discomfort w/the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes…To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable…that’s the point.”

She also said, “The thing that critics of activists donโ€™t get is that they tried playing the โ€œpolite languageโ€ policy game and all it did was make them easier to ignore. It wasnโ€™t until they made folks uncomfortable that there was traction to do ANYTHING even if it wasnโ€™t their full demands.”
