Did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Violate the Constitution With Her Latest Action on Twitter?
On Friday, the Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra broke the news that Ocasio-Cortez had seemingly changed her accent while speaking to a predominantly black crowd at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network.
“This is what organizing looks like, this is what building power looks like, this is what changing the country looks like, it’s when we choose to show up and occupy the room and talk about the things that matter most,” Ocasio-Cortez said with a Southern drawl. . .

Indeed, Ocasio-Cortez later claimed she was engaged in code-switching by using an accent familiar to her Bronx origin. On Twitter, she defended herself saying that Saavedra’s reporting churred the “conspiracy mills,” claiming she has previously used the accent in public. . .

While Twitter blocking previously carried no legal implications, seven people sued President Donald Trump last year for blocking them from viewing his personal Twitter account, @realDonaldTrump.
In a shocking ruling, federal District Court Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald ruled last May that Trump’s actions were unconstitutional and violated the First Amendment. Buchwald ruled that Twitter is a “public forum” protected under the First Amendment. (Read more from “Did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Violate the Constitution With Her Latest Action on Twitter?” HERE)
