One of the corollaries to the value of a public figure using social media to communicate directly with the public is that the public comprises a lot of sociopaths and general a**holes in addition to people who want to hear your message. President Trump found that out, and when he began blocking the trolls and dunkers, they took him to court. And they won:
President Donald Trump cannot block Twitter users for the political views they have expressed, a federal judge in Manhattan ruled on Wednesday.
Blocking users from viewing his Twitter account — a feature offered by the social media platform — is unconstitutional and a violation of the First Amendment, Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald wrote in her ruling.
“While we must recognize, and are sensitive to, the President’s personal First Amendment rights, he cannot exercise those rights in a way that infringes the corresponding First Amendment rights of those who have criticized him,” Buchwald wrote.
The government had argued that blocked individuals could still access the president’s tweets. The judge agreed but said that even considering the president’s First Amendment rights, preventing users from interacting directly with him on Twitter represented a violation of a “real, albeit narrow, slice of speech.”
The newest political social media figure, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, is discovering that she isn’t held as a semi-religious figure by most of the nation and she doesn’t like it. Her tweets have become more whiny, more sniveling, and more petulant as the number of people mocking and ridicule her grows each day. So yesterday, when it was revealed that she employed a fake black accent in speaking to largely black audience (see Sarah Lee’s AOC’s Demeaning Blaccent), she couldn’t take it anymore, this is via bonchie’s AOC Responds To Criticism Of Her Fake Southern Black Accent And She’s Not Happy.
The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra, who, as far as I can tell, broke the story called bullsh** or her claim:

In short, Ocasio Cortez was caught and was trying to lie her way out of a difficult predicament that she’d lied herself into.
She really wasn’t happy:
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

This, as we saw with Trump, is a violation of the Constitution. According to that federal judge, the right of the politician to communicate brings with it the right of everyone else to disagree. I’m willing to guess that the same people who were cheering on the lawsuit against President Trump will be strangely silent about this.
As the criticism of Ocasio Cortez mounts, we’re going to see more and more of this kind of behavior. It is pretty typical of the Marxist community organizer persona, the person who has started believing their own bullsh** and who can’t allow anyone to disagree with either what they are saying or who they pretend to be.
