Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently returned to her district
after a cross-country campaign tour during which she was treated like a rock
star.
And
promptly banned the press from attending a community event in Corona, New York.
The
decision to bar members of the media from the affair highlights the hypocrisy
of both leftist politicians and the media itself. The shallow, silly
socialist’s spokesman, Corbin Trent, stated: “We wanted to help create a space where community members felt
comfortable and open to express themselves without the distraction of cameras
and press.”
I’m certain that some in the
Trump administration feel the same way, as do many of his supporters. But the
Fourth Estate fawns all over Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, whereas they stop just short of
attempting to tar and feather the president-- and his supporters. This explains
why the mainstream media didn’t savage Ms. O.C. like they would have if a
Republican had done the same thing, preferring instead to give the young lass a
pass.
Trent added, “These were the
first set of events where the press has been excluded. This is an outlier and
will not be the norm. We’re still adjusting our logistics to fit Alexandria’s
national profile.”
Banning the press is “adjusting
your logistics?” (To fit the national
profile of a community organizer from the state of New York’s 14th
Congressional district)? I looked up definitions of “logistics”: 1) “the aspect
of military science dealing with the procurement, maintenance, and
transportation of military materiel, facilities, and personnel.” No,
Ocasio-Cortez isn’t big on guns or the (U.S.) military. 2) “the commercial
activity of transporting goods to customers.” Definitely not! Can’t think of a
woman as a “good,” to be “transported to customers!” #MeToo. And 3) “the
handling of the details of an operation,” as in “the logistics of a political
campaign.” That’s it!
Operation Ban the Media won’t harm
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign, because members of the press won’t hold her
accountable. They are too busy attacking Trump for holding them accountable. One would hope the voters would hold her
accountable for her stupefying naiveté and ignorance of the issues.
One would likely be
disappointed.
