AOC tied to Capitol Police investigation of a California resident criticizing her in a tweet

 


 The Grayzone

An anti-war activist was visited by California Highway Patrol officers after posting video of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s bumbling comments on Israel-Palestine. The action, which AOC denies triggering, was initiated by a call to US Capitol Police.

As he waited for a food delivery at his home in Los Angeles on April 8, Ryan Wentz, an anti-war activist and producer for the online viral program Soapbox, heard two men calling his name from over his front gate. When he approached, he realized they were not delivery drivers, but police officers flashing badges of the California Highway Patrol.

The cops informed Wentz that they had received a call from the Capitol Police, the federal law enforcement agency tasked with protecting the US Congress, about a tweet he had sent that allegedly threatened Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Wentz told The Grayzone, “The officers said, ‘We got a warning about a sitting member of Congress. And it was because of your tweet, which tagged them in it.’ And then they just wouldn’t back down from this accusation that I threatened to kill her.”

 The California Highway Patrol indicated on Twitter that it had acted on a call from Capitol Police.

Though AOC’s office has denied falsely informing Capitol Police of an online threat by Wentz, the Democratic congresswoman has in the past asked her supporters to report critics to social media censors.

Whoever called the police on Wentz furnished law enforcement with a patently false allegation, as he has never threatened violence against any member of Congress.

In the tweet that triggered the police action, Wentz merely posted video of AOC delivering a vapid and embarrassingly convoluted answer to a question about resolving the crisis in Israel-Palestine. Describing her answer as “incredibly underwhelming,” he let the congresswoman’s cringeworthy commentary speak for itself.

Impunity City

 Going by my recent difficulty with the Twitter, this incident confirms that the social media platform is no longer a "private company" and has become an arm of the government hell bent to induce and normalize censorship and will shut down any attempt to hold elected officials accountable for their bad policies and idiotic statements. And just like in my case, this person got clamped down for words belonging to another person.

AOC should be less concerned about what she perceives are threats to her brand and her political party and more with the persistent problems and crises that's affecting her district starting with the recent fire that left hundreds homeless in Jackson Heights.

Have you noticed how Ocasio tip-toes around anything with a Jewish/Israeli theme? She knows she's skating on thin ice if she voices anything nearly critical of Israel. Do so, her handlers have probably told her, and the NY Jewish establishment will bite her in the ass and not let go. [As well they should.]

See HERE her first fumfering display of ignorance on the Israel-Palestine issue from Firing Line.

Big mistake the handlers probably said so she showed up in a Jackson Heights synagogue to claim Jewish ancestry.

So Lefties, she got the message and knows who butters her bread and it ain't you.

They are called The Capitol Police and sometimes Americans get confused and think that they are the Washington D.C. Police Dept. No! They are Federal Agents. The same group that executed and unarmed woman on January 6th, after she trespassed on federal property.

AOC ignores the homeless squads in La Guardia airport, right in her district. Yes, they've been pushed out of Terminal B - there are other terminal's for the homeless to live in. When is AOC going to do something for these people? There are encampments of homeless with in walking distance of and right next to the NYC park on 65th Street and Broadway. This is where armies of illegal aliens stand begging for work. Then they flop there when they don't get work or wander across the street to openly urinate as they are usually very intoxicated. I would like to know when AOC will actually do something for her constituents.

@Anon re: beer

At least that guy still has his twitter account. Even if he has to peek out the window whenever he's on his cellphone or laptop now.

@Anon re: Ignores.

Got that right. She's actually as bad as de Blasio with her insouciance regarding the homeless crisis.

There are a lot of comments about her ... but remember what she replaced:


Amazon was kicked out by local developers were kicked out by Bishop Taylor and the local politicians.

As bad as she is it's far better than what she replaced.

Hey squad less tweet more action.

"As bad as she is it's far better than what she replaced"

The squad must’ve gotten a good pay raise to gaslight everything they’ve been fighting for and everything they ran on. Not give you reason to defend them or try to rationalize their many many bad actions.

The Squad needs to stop running cover for the Biden administration. It isn't working and will backfire in the mid terms.

I hear AOC’s gonna be at the Sunnyside Media Swap big one year anniversary party at Skillman Avenue and 43rd Street on May 15th-all day until the wee hours of the morning- bands, crowds, donated books. And Jimmy Van Bramer because he’s paid for the Sunnyside Media Swap- in Lou Lodati Park
