Summary

Ocasio Cortez SLAMMED For Violating First Amendment, Rejects Federal Court Ruling. Over the past few years Democrats, far left activists, and a First amendment institute have been in a legal battle with Donald Trump over his right to block people on Twitter.In now multiple rulings federal courts have decided that public officials can not block people as it would violate their first amendment rights. Trump has vowed to fight back and issued a challenge on an appeals court ruling. However, he did unblock many people following the court order.But Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has refused. She continues to reject the rulings of the court and in fact is using the exact same argument that Trump is using. AOC is currently being sued by a former Democrats and a republican house candidate and youtuber joey Salads.It seems to be just another "rules for the but not for me" scenario where a ruling won by leftists results in leftists refusing to abide by the rule they got put in place.

0:00.0	Rules for the, but not for me. We hear this kind of stuff all the time. A lawsuit was initiated
0:06.0	against Trump several years ago. He lost. They said, you can't block people on Twitter anymore.
0:11.4	He appealed he lost. He's challenging another court ruling, and we have an update on Donald
0:16.7	Trump's lawsuit from just a couple days ago. But guess what? This is backfiring on the left,
0:22.3	because now Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and some other Democrats have no choice, but to unblock
0:28.3	their critics. But AOC is refusing, and she's giving some pretty weak arguments. Now something

0:37.7	Columbia, some journalistic enterprise. They put out a tweet a while ago saying, you have to
