BREAKING NEWS – New York City. New York – Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has joined the chorus of those criticizing Twitter chief Elon Musk after he suspended several liberal journalists from his social media platform.

In a pair of tweets, Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, accused Musk of “abuse of power” and encouraged him to “lay off the proto-fascism” hours after he temporarily barred journalists who worked for CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post and others.

Musk claimed the journalists allegedly violated the platform’s new policy not to share his real-time location information when they posted “assassination coordinates.” Whereas Ocasio-Cortez responded that Musk suspensions denied hitmen and deranged killers from expressing themselves, in which she said is constitutionally protected.
