Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has made a name for herself for the controversial things that she says on social media.
But on Sunday, she announced she would be giving up Facebook because social media poses a “public health risk.”
From Daily Caller:
Ocasio-Cortez has used social media significantly to her political advantage thus far, but she announced Sunday in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery” that she will no longer be using Facebook, according to WaPo. Her campaign is still running Facebook ads, the Washington Post reports.
“I personally gave up Facebook, which was kind of a big deal because I started my campaign on Facebook. And Facebook was my primary digital organizing tool for a very long time. I gave up on it,” Ocasio-Cortez said to Yahoo News.
“Social media poses a public health risk to everybody,” Ocasio-Cortez said to Yahoo News. “There are amplified impacts for young people, particularly children under the age of 3, with screen time. But I think it has a lot of effects on older people. I think it has effects on everybody. Increased isolation, depression, anxiety, addiction, escapism.”

Her handlers have told her to damp it down for a while. IMHO
Rumor is, she got a beatdown from Pelosi, and told to shut up.
Class was in session this morning! I was thrilled to offer some insights on Twitter and social media to my. colleagues this morning.
Now Majority @WhipClyburn is teaching me what all the bells mean in the Capitol 😂 https://t.co/pEGVZqqn2g— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) January 17, 2019
Alexandria “Overbite” Cortez has more than one reason to keep her mouth shut.
That’s like streptococcus walking into a herpes party and saying ‘this place is unhealthy for me.’
They think the whole USA is onboard with the craptastic ideas they dream up in their Socialist bubble.
Bet they got some polling about how pissed Americans are.
Public health risk? Hello kettle!
I LOVE HER..!
Funny, nice body, nice, animated face, strong penchant for saying cute, idiotic, childish things.
SHE IS OUR BIGGEST WEAPON.
High confidence/high stupidity.
She’ll be back.
The girl can’t help it.
Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman in Congress, has electrified progressives with her social media engagement, unabashed about picking a fight, pushing back at critics and giving followers an inside look at her personal life.
“The top tip, I think, is really to be yourself and to really write your own tweets so that people know it’s you talking,” Ocasio-Cortez told ABC News after emerging from class.
Not someone who will last long.
Now the tip is to get off social media. You weren’t as smart as you thought you were.
Ha!!
Hilarious.
She dishes it out, but sure can’t take it.
Typical lib.
Poor baby, what a snowflake coward
What about twitter? That’s social media also
What about instagram where she posts pic of herself in a bikini?
Madeja look...lol
She’s probably back on FB by now, ppl do that all the time
“I’m leaving face book people are mean to me”
Then a few days, they are back
She’ll return to it. She is an attention whore.
