Pay attention man. DB is very high on her. Defends her every chance he can.Quote:

They love her, under her leadership, the Democrats lost hundreds of seats in 2016 across the nation. She is the third best boogie man they can use to rally their base after Obama and Clinton. It easier to fundraise against her. If Clinton doesn't run for president, they would love for Pelosi to run against. Anybody who made as much money in politic as she has, they are crooks. Not maybe, could be, no she is a crook. She is only good at raising money and pleasing donors.Quote:

banning the press from one specific public event is a bad thing.Quote:

Ocasio-Cortez faces heat for excluding media from town hall events
Quote:
Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced criticism this week for barring media from attending two of her town hall events in New York that were otherwise open to the public.
the last tweet is important. banning press doesn't make people feel more comfortable when anyone could just walk into to the event.Quote:
Since her primary upset earlier this summer, Ocasio-Cortez has given numerous interviews and has become a fixture on cable news and in the pages of national publications.
She received flak on social media from journalists who contended that she should have held a private event if they wanted to exclude the press.
"(Ocasio-Cortez) is in for a rough time on Capitol Hill -- where reporters roam freely at all hours of the day and night -- if this is her attitude toward the press," Washington Post reporter Seung Min Kim tweeted.
Campaign spokesman Corbin Trent insisted to CNN that it was "an outlier" to keep the press out of the two events and it was only done out of respect for the constituents.
"We wanted to make sure the people in the room felt comfortable to voice their opinions, to say what they thought," Trent told CNN in a phone interview, adding that the presence of cameras can make people "less comfortable."
He noted that the events were live-streamed and that Ocasio-Cortez has done "a lot of interviews."
When asked by CNN if the campaign will continue to bar the media from such functions, Trent replied, "No. Probably not."
Ocasio-Cortez unseated long-serving Democratic congressman Joe Crowley in New York's June primary and has become a leading figure on the progressive left. She's up against Republican candidate Anthony Pappas, who did not have a challenger in his party's primary, for New York's 14th Congressional District in November.
Shes great at getting things passed that benefit her donors. She literally says that republicans are scared of her because shes smart (lol) and she raises lots of money.Quote:
