Full title: CRIMINAL ACT: Democrat Ocasio-Cortez Broke 42 US Code § 1983 By Threatening Donald Trump Jr. with Retaliation Over Snarky Meme
It appears Ocasio-Cortez broke federal law by threatening a US citizen with retaliation for snarky tweets.
You can’t use the power of the law to get back at people for their Instagram memes, Alexandria!

Give her a break. Sure she’s an idiot but isn’t that a prequal for being a Congress critter?
She is currently a civilian and can say what she wants. She does need to be more careful once she is inaugurated and stuff, like, you know?
Won’t make any difference - she’ll still squawk the same nonsense after thinking she’s immune as a Congress critter. I’m just waiting for her to bump someone out of their paid up first class seat on an airplane.
Hey, I’m a brown middle class deplorable...Don’t leave me behind. :-)

It’s early and I read that wrong. I was smiling when I thought it said someone would push her out a plane window.
A better choice would be that it is specifically forbidden by House Ethics rules - https://twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/2018/12/07/uh-oh-looks-like-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-might-be-in-big-trouble-with-the-house-ethics-committee/
Ahh, okay, got it. I hate this thing about VIP’s bumping American citizens out of the seats they’ve paid for. They’re paid with taxpayer’s money therefore we’re THEIR boss. If it was me that was forced out of my first class seat like that one black congress critter did I would have screamed racism the way she did; that was one infuriating situation.
What do you mean "gonna?" She's far FAR surpassed Cynthia McKinney on the stupid scale already!
ie; The left's latest attack on the song ,"Baby its cold outside". It must be terrible to be that unhappy over everything.
But this is exactly why these freshmen are offered these seminars....to LEARN the expectations of their job and the limitations....she thinks she’s smarter than her well seasone (soon to be) peers......typical liberal arrogance. The more she opens her mouth the more she shows her ignorance and arrogance so the jokes just write themselves.
