Socialist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) used the Chinese-tied social media app TikTok to celebrate the firing of Fox News host Tucker Carlson and to glorify censorship, saying “de-platforming works.”
“Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy,” she sarcastically told her followers.
Ocasio-Cortez then did what she always does, played the ‘poor me’ victim always on the cusp of being murdered by her political adversaries, suggesting Carlson was “arguably responsible for … the most amounts of death threats and violent threats” to her office and to others around the country.
She proceeded to compare the former Fox News personality to a Marvel villain that she fears will rise once again in the post-credits scene of a movie.
Considering she’s admitted to getting therapy ever since the Capitol riots, it’s quite clear her therapist is not doing a good job. This woman is mental.
“But de-platforming works and it is important,” she added. “Um there you go … good things can happen.”
AOC on Tucker “Deplatforming works and it is important.”
The Democrat Party is the Party of Censorship

AOC Uses Chinese Communist-Owned App to Celebrate Censorship of Tucker Carlson
As per usual, AOC is incredibly unaware of the optics of her message or even her surroundings. Using an app linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to celebrate censorship in America is truly something to behold.
This is an American lawmaker basically serving as, to borrow a play from the Democrat playbook, a puppet of Xi Jinping.
Ocasio-Cortez’s comments come amidst a bipartisan push to ban TikTok from government devices over national security concerns.
She has expressed opposition to the ban because, like anybody with the mindset of a pre-teen, she really likes to make trendy viral videos with neat-o special effects and the ever-fascinating random zoom-in on the face.
Rep @AOC posts her first TikTok and it’s about the possible TikTok ban.
1. She says Congress needs a classified briefing on the national security risks.
2. US needs strict data privacy laws like Europe.
3. Shouldn’t ban an app 150 million Americans use w/o making case to them. pic.twitter.com/lXesA4S5GC

“This is an app that has over 150 million Americans on it,” she said expressing concerns over a TikTok ban. “It just doesn’t feel right to me.”
But de-platforming political opposition whose sole crime against you is exposing Democrats for the consistent liars they are, censorship – that feels right to New York’s favorite socialist.
Democrats are the party of censorship, forced mandates, pro-crime, and dead babies.
They’re the real fascists and it’s not even close.
They are the enemy of the people. https://t.co/daXK46ESHw

Raises Funds Off Tucker’s Firing, Suggests She’s Responsible
Not simply content with utilizing a Chinese-owned app to celebrate censorship, AOC actually used news of Tucker Carlson’s firing as a fundraising tool and suggested she played a role.
“It’s official: Tucker Carlson is off the air,” the email begins.
“After years of viciously targeting women, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community, Tucker Carlson was told abruptly this morning that he no longer had a show,” it states before soliciting donations to her campaign.
The email notes that while “it’s not clear yet why Fox let Carlson go” *wink, wink*, “Just yesterday, Alexandria called out Carlson, during an interview on Inside with Jen Psaki.”
While an initial statement by the network suggested they had parted ways, subsequent news stories have suggested Carlson was fired by Fox.
Lol… @AOC is fundraising off Tucker Carlson getting fired and pretending it was because of her.
She clearly just wants to date him. pic.twitter.com/dEXrpbZ4Q1

Yet, AOC did state within hours of Fox News letting Tucker Carlson go that the federal government should regulate him and the network for allegedly ‘inciting violence’ on January 6th, 2021.
“I believe that when it comes to broadcast television, like FOX News, these are subject to federal law and regulation in terms of what’s allowed on air and what isn’t,” she said.
“And when you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of these other folks on Fox do, it is very, very clearly incitement of violence. Very clearly.”

Very clearly. People with the foggiest of minds who have never had a clear thought in their life should probably avoid stating things so definitively.
Ocasio-Cortez also told Psaki that the problem of censoring dissenting viewpoints is something “legislating is supposed to solve.”
Now the mini-fascist won’t have to worry about that. Fox News took care of the de-platforming for her.
Now is the time to support and share the sources you trust.
