AOC ‘has to testify’ on tweet blocks ocks

A Brooklyn federal judge wants to drag Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez into court to explain why she blocks people on Twitter.

“I think she has to testify,” Judge Frederic Block said Thursday.

The demand came amid a hearing regarding a lawsuit filed by former Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who claims Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY 14th District) wrongfully blocked him online.

An aide to the freshman congresswoman (right) laid out her boss’ habit of blocking people on Twitter if their input isn’t “constructive.”

“If she feels the posts start reaching a point where it’s not constructive, where it’s an attack and where the person becomes so polarizing that she cannot have a conversation with them and they’re amplifying their platform,” then she’ll mute them, campaign manager Rebecca Rodriguez told the judge.

She added that it was Ocasio-Cortez’s “judgment call” to block Hikind but said she did not know the exact reason behind the decision.

But Block said he wanted to hear it from AOC’s own mouth. “Her point is that this was an A-OK thing to do . . . she has to explain,” he said.

Hikind is among more than 20 people Ocasio-Cortez has blocked online.

The longtime Jewish leader said he was blocked by Ocasio-Cortez after he tweeted at her criticizing her controversial comments in June comparing migrant centers at the border to concentration camps.

“That comment from her, I found so incredibly outrageous,”” Hikind, who is also a Democrat, said at the hearing.

After he was blocked, “I was shut out basically from having a conversation,” Hikind said.

Ocasio-Cortez has previously said she blocks people on Twitter “for harassment, not for political views.”
