Conservatives act like they’re the face of free speech, but they ask for censorship when the speech is troublesome to them.

@sunsporter1649 the far left is like that. They know their bs is unacceptable to most so they try to keep it hidden.

@sunsporter1649 Ocasio-Cortez invited vulnerable populations, 50% of them immigrants, to the town meeting to discuss what might be sensitive issue. Her explanation was this: "This town hall was designed for residents to feel safe discussing sensitive issues in a threatening political time."

In no way did she prohibit the media from reporting on her campaign. She barred attendance of the media so attendees would feel open to discuss any matter. Whatever you think of the decision, it should be based on fact.

@Graylight LOL, you keep believing that.

@sunsporter1649 Well, since that's evidently the way it played out and we have the quotes to prove it and the press is still free to report - for now - anything it likes, I will.

@Graylight Fact is she is a flaming liberal, promising free everything for everybody, and with no clue on how it is going to be paid for, and by whom. Just another example on how worthless a college education is nowadays.

@sunsporter1649 Funny how those without college educations are the one to disparage them.

Wanting equality, services and opportunity for all doesn’t mean "giving free stuff away." There are ways to accomplish this successfully, as evidenced all over the globe.

@Graylight University of Miami, class of '77, Psyc Major.

Sure is evidence all over the world, such as Argentina, North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, Iraq....the list goes on and on. Funny how those countries that adhere to capitalism, where you get what you earn, seem to be the most successful.
