    Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) bans media from town hall meeting.

    Our community is 50% immigrant. Folks are victims of DV*, trafficking, + have personal medical issues. This town hall was designed for residents to feel safe discussing sensitive issues in a threatening political time. We indicated previously that it would be closed to press. -- AOC tweet.

    “We wanted to help create a space where community members felt comfortable and open to express themselves without the distraction of cameras and press.” -- AOC Che campaign spokesman.

    Translation: "I don't need the media scrutinizing my lack of knowledge of just about everything, and pointing out the bogus numbers I pull from my backside. It's embarrassing, and shows me to be the fool that I am".

    BTW, did the media throw a fit like they do with Trump?

    I don't know. You are dead on correct.

    "... + have personal medical issues ..."

    You know damn well she just pulled that out of her ass because medical privacy is a big issue popularly spouted by even the media. Other that that, WTF can she possibly be talking about?

    She can but she can't call it a "public forum".

    She can. Indeed, I wish she'd do a lot more of it, if it would wake up the media to what is in store for them if her brand of "freedom" is established.

    , ma'am.
