LOL. Now @AOC says she blocked me for "ongoing harassment." What utter nonsense. I have ALWAYS been respectful & civil. I challenge AOC's voting record in Congress & fact-check her tweets/lies. I never say anything personal about her.

@AOC Basically, @AOC thinks because I'm conservative & dare to disagree with her, that makes me a bully. Because I've tagged or responded to (less than 50 ever) of her tweets, she claims that's harassment. That is ABSURD...

@AOC But this is what the Democrats do - they try to paint mainstream conservatives as evil as justification to silence us. I will not be silenced. I will never stop questioning members of Congress in a respectful & civil manner.

@AOC Remember, this was the tweet that caused @AOC to block me. I challenged her voting record. She claimed Trump was refusing to spend money for basic necessities for migrant kids... so I asked her why she voted NO on a $4.5B bill to give humanitarian aid to migrant kids.

@AOC So I called her out for blocking me. I said, @AOC blocked me to silence me. Because she doesn't want her FOLLOWERS to read my tweets & see my fact-checks of her lies.

@AOC ALSO, let's put the rest the idea that my tweets were harassment... they were NEVER personal. In fact, here are some tweets when I've DEFENDED @AOC against ad hominem attacks (on her looks or her past history as a bartender).

@AOC Several of my tweets tagging @aoc were reporting on news stories... like when Holocaust survivors told her calling detention facilities "concentration camps" was offensive.

@AOC I corrected @AOC when she inaccurately reported on a study she claimed proved men are sexist in the workplace. She said 60% of men are uncomfortable mentoring women in the workplace. The study actually says only 13% of men are uncomfortable with that.

@AOC THIS is probably the real reason @AOC blocked me... I crushed her in an abortion debate... because she told her followers women would be sent to jail for abortion, which is NOT TRUE.

@AOC Or that other time @AOC & I had a debate about abortion because she said 6 weeks pregnant was just "two weeks later on your period" so I showed her a picture of an unborn baby at 6 weeks development.

@AOC Or when @AOC claimed only "religious fundamentalists" were pro-life, I showed her the facts.

@AOC Or that time @AOC claimed the VA "wasn't broke, so don't fix it" & I showed her the number of veterans who've died waiting for care at the VA.

@AOC Or the time @AOC said our thoughts & prayers don't matter in the wake of mass shootings & I told her what thoughts & prayers mean to me.

@AOC Or the time I nicely summarized @AOC's Green New Deal to help people understand what was in it.

@AOC Where's the "ongoing harassment?" I quested @AOC's voting record & challenge her political policies. This is what citizens are supposed to do to elected officials. In fact, I'm an exemplary citizen because I respect her dignity as a person & challenge her ideology, nothing else.

@AOC SHOW me the harassment... oh wait, you can't. Because it doesn't exist! @AOC blocked me because I'm conservative, I expose her liberal lies, my tweets were often top response on her tweets (so her followers saw the truth), that threatened her ideology, so she silenced me. Period.
