This liberal thinks Ocasio-Cortez is waaaaaay too far left and a complete idiot for barring the press from a public meeting. I’m sorry she is a Democratic candidate. I don’t like the fringes of either party.
I disagree with just about any reason a politician keeps out the press at a public gathering. She needs to learn to live with a free press or not run. The people going to her gathering should be aware fo this as well.
If she doesn’t want the press there, so be it. It’s a decision that will cost her the election though. Then again, if she did allow them in…she’d lose the election.
As a single member of Congress some day her influence might mean something to me in the long term. I am not worried that any influence she might ever wield will have any negative impact on my life. Quite the contrary actually, I think she will become aware of the fact that the office will shape and temper her positions. I pray she keeps her fiery independence and never becomes a Democrat party leader goose stepper the way so many Republicans have become with Trump.
This is kind of continuation of the 2016 democrat primaries. Quiet a few in the media and elsewhere spoke after the election on how the democrats will have a coming internal war on the direction of the party.
The republicans have been going through the transformation to try and see what type party of party it morphs into after Trump will be interesting, whether it stays the same or changes.
