I have no objection to her boycotting a newspaper. If Trump called for a boycott of the Washington Post I would be ok with that and I suppose those who support Ocasio-Cortez’s decision here would be fine with it too, in principle.
My objection is more to the principle she is boycotting the newspaper for, namely because they were critical of a friend of hers for trivializing 9/11.
But then, she didn’t exactly have my support before she did this, anyway.
Are we really comparing which side has been on the wrong side of free speech since Trump took office? Please direct me to anywhere since the Trump presidency that a campus was lit on fire to stop a left wing speaker from speaking at an event.
This Omar sounds like a real piece of ■■■■ from her comments on 9/11 and Jews. She can call for a boycott, absolutely. As long as it’s ok for any politician to call for a boycott of anything.
