Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) may be facing a lawsuit soon after former Democratic New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind said he plans to sue the freshman congresswoman for blocking users on Twitter for their opposing views.

Hikind told Fox News that he is preparing a lawsuit against the Democratic lawmaker and that they were in the process of sorting out details. Ocasio-Cortez has blocked several prominent commentators and journalists over the course of the year who do not align with her views points, including Hikind.
