Comedian sues Ocasio-Cortez for blocking him on Twitter after he catcalled her outside U.S. Capitol
A suit against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for blocking a provocateur on Twitter cites a federal appeals court ruling against Donald Trump in a similar case.
- Calling the New York Democrat his “favorite big booty Latina,” comedian Alex Stein yelled to the lawmaker that he loved her as she entered the building on July 13 in a video he posted online.
- Stein’s lawsuit cites a federal appeals court ruling that then-President Donald Trump violated the constitutional rights of several people by blocking them from following him on Twitter.
- Just days after that ruling in November 2019, Ocasio-Cortez apologized to and settled a case with a former Brooklyn assemblyman, who had sued her for blocking him on her @AOC Twitter account.
