A former New York state assemblyman is seizing on an appeals court ruling against President Donald Trump to sue Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for blocking him on Twitter
NEW YORK — ., filed in federal court in Brooklyn, states former Assemblyman Dov Hikind was blocked after being “critical” of Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter. It claims Ocasio-Cortez has blocked other users who have criticized her, including the student organization “Students for Trump” and Ryan Saavedra, a writer for conservative news outlet the Daily Wire.The suit references an appeals court decision this week ruling President Donald Trump cannot block Twitter users from his personal account.
“No one is above the law. If the courts ruled POTUS can’t block people on Twitter, why would @AOC think she can get away with silencing her critics?” HikindHikind, who is based in Brooklyn and is not one of Ocasio-Cortez's constituents, was blocked by her @AOC twitter account, which has almost 4.7 million followers. He served in the Assembly as a Democrat but holds conservative views on a variety of issues.
Ocasio-Cortez uses the account for a mix of personal and political tweets, recently using the platform to crowdsource suggestions on national parks to visit while also expressing her political views on everything from climate change to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
