Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezis no stranger to facing backlash online for her political beliefs.
He continued, “Cross-partisan discussions make the country better.
She had every right to say no, of course.
But suggesting that this is in any way comparable to catcalling is patently ridiculous and insane.”
AsVoguenotes, Ocasio-Cortez is far from the first woman politician to face backlash from conservatives on Twitter.
They’ve come for Hilary Clinton and Vice President Kamala Harris, just to name a few.
Now, however, she is stepping away from the platform and taking a break from tweeting.
She eventually caught COVID-19 but recovered.
She said the constant Twitter attacks began to take a toll on her mental health.
“That’s so funny that you bring that up,” Ocasio-Cortez shared.
People like, kind of fight and gossip, and all this other stuff so much."
She added, “And there’s a lot of negative negativity on there but I’ll be back.
Just a break.”
This is not the first time Ocasio-Cortez has had problems on Twitter.
She was sued for blocking Twitter followers in 2019, according toNPR.
