Omg hahahah @AOC blocked me!

I am ALWAYS respectful & civil. I present facts only, nothing personal. Somebody is threatened by facts & the truth!

This is the tweet which made her block me. And this is her tweet I was responding to. The truth stings.

Dear Lord. Just ignore people who are rude & civilly engage people who challenge your policies. You are a PUBLIC OFFICIAL, @AOC. It’s a critical part of our public dialogue & self-govt to hold elected officials accountable.

I’m also team never-block. I’ve legit never blocked a single person on Twitter. I love engaging with people who disagree with me! Guess @AOC isn’t confident enough in her “principles” to do the same. 🤷‍♀️

Also you’d have to be a tech illiterate Granny to think blocking somebody prevents them from seeing your tweets. So the only reason to block... is so your ideas aren’t challenged. There’s a fitting word for that: cowardice.

Don’t even think about blaming me for violence. Violence & threats are 100% wrong... duh. What a hideous & false accusation to try to blame me for other people’s disgusting violence. I challenged her Congressional voting record, for goodness sake.

This is what the left does. They don’t like my facts debunking their Leftist ideology. So they try to define my speech as violence. This is their sneaky tactic to try to silence me. Bc if my speech is violence, they hafta shut it down right? Don’t fall for it. Refuse to be silent

Final point on this: @AOC doesn't just want an echo chamber of Leftist ideology for herself. She's preventing her FOLLOWERS from seeing the truth. My responses are frequently top on her tweets. That means her followers see my fact-checks when they view her tweet. That scares her.

P.P.S. AOC is just proving that the tactics in my book on how to debate & defeat the Left work. She got so scared when I used them on her... she blocked me. amazon.com/Tipping-Points…

Update: Poetic justice for @AOC... she’s so threatened by facts & truth that she blocked me, & subsequently over 2 MILLION people viewed this tweet thread & my response to her tweet (fact checking her lies).

She tried to silence me & in the process amplified my message. 📣
