Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) faces criticism after she sought to dismiss a lawsuit for blocking users on Twitter over what it claims to be “an effort to suppress contrary views.”
The lawsuit was brought by former Democratic New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind who said in the complaint that he was blocked after he had been critical of the freshman congresswoman on multiple occasions. Ocasio-Cortez sought to dismiss the case in a court filing on Aug. 7.
