The left’s conquest of President Trump by virtue of a stolen election has opened to door to factional infighting as the victors divvy up the spoils.
Lunchbucket Joe hasn’t even officially been sworn yet and already, the socialists who have been gaining in numbers within the House Of Representatives have been sniping over the measly $1,400 stimulus checks and the lack of diversity in Biden’s cabinet.
One of the socialists who doesn’t play well with others is now accusing Facebook, one of the social media platforms that played a key role in censoring Trump supporters while pitching in to drag Biden’s corpse across the finish line.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Friday condemned Facebook as well as co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg for misinformation posted on the platform, arguing that both Zuckerberg and his. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., speaks with other lawmakers during a break from testimony from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg before a House Financial Services Committee hearing on Capitol.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the former bartender whose ascendance to political stardom is a modern day retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale is accusing Facebook and CEO Mark Zuckerberg of being partially responsible for the chaos at the U.S. Capitol.
AOC who falsely claimed that she was nearly killed when the building where Americans are sold out on a daily basis was briefly occupied by pro-Trump protesters and Antifa provocateurs accused Zuckerberg of aiding and abetting what Dems are defining as domestic terrorism.
The narcissistic Twitter diva’s stunning remarks came during a virtual town hall with constituents in her New York City congressional district.

Via Fox News, “AOC says Zuckerberg, Facebook bear ‘partial responsibility’ for Capitol riots”:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., assigned partial blame to Facebook for last week’s riots and indicated Friday that Congress’ response should focus on holding Big Tech accountable rather than ramping up domestic surveillance.
“He is part of this problem,” Ocasio-Cortez said, referring to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. “And Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook bear partial responsibility for Wednesday’s events, period.”
Ocasio-Cortez, who spoke during a video town hall meeting, went on to argue that Facebook was “trying to do as much damage control as possible, but they knew. Not only did they know but they allowed it.”
Facebook did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment. Earlier this week, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg suggested that other platforms were to blame.
“Our enforcement’s never perfect, so I’m sure there were still things on Facebook — I think these events were largely organized on platforms that don’t have our abilities to stop hate, and don’t have our standards and don’t have our transparency,” she said during an interview broadcast by Reuters.
However, technology experts have said that a growing amount of evidence indicates at least some of the planning for the riots took place on Facebook.
AOC’s bull in a China shop personality has been tolerated by House leaders and sanctioned by Speaker Nancy Pelosi because Democrats couldn’t risk alienating her cult like social media followers but the U.S. didn’t become a one-party state by dumping on critical allies in Silicon Valley.
Ironically, Facebook along with Twitter and Google WERE largely responsible for the ransacking and burning of major U.S. cities over the summer by the Marxist-inspired Black Lives matter movement and its Antifa partners and still allows the incitement to violence and hate speech from both on their platforms.
While Democrats and Silicon Valley are busy eradicating conservative voices thereby removing threats to one-party rule, the biggest threats to the permanent majority may be coming from within the big tent.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) on Saturday reiterated past criticism of Facebook, despite paying the social-media giant hundreds of thousands of dollars for her reelection campaign.
After winning a long shot 2018 primary, Ocasio-Cortez has been hailed in the press for her social-media savvy. On Saturday, she lamented the outsized role tech companies play in politics.
'I don't know about you, but I don't want Mark Zuckerberg making decisions over my life,' Ocasio-Cortez said.
Ocasio-Cortez was speaking at a rally in Queens, New York, to publicly endorse Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.).
'We need to build a mass movement in America centered on the working class, the poor, the middle class, one that is actively anti-racist, that is rooted in principles of universality,' Ocasio-Cortez said. 'The future and our future is in a public system and it's publicly owned systems because we need to take power over our lives again.'
The Ocasio-Cortez campaign continues to be a major player in social media, according to its third quarter FEC filing. She spent at least $425,000 on advertising between June 28 and Sept. 23.
This isn't the first time Ocasio-Cortez's campaign has poured massive amounts of cash into increasing her Facebook visibility. During the second quarter, she spent more than $250,000 on Facebook advertising. This spending occurred simultaneously with Ocasio-Cortez telling a Yahoo News podcast in April she was quitting her own personal use of Facebook and scaling back social-media use in general, saying it's a 'public health risk' because it can lead to 'increased isolation, depression, anxiety, addiction, escapism.' She also said in March that society 'has a Facebook problem.'
The Washington Free Beaconreported in mid-August that Ocasio-Cortez was just shy of spending $480,000 with Facebook over the preceding 90 days.
Earlier this month, Ocasio-Cortez said that Facebook's 'reckless behavior represents a threat to our privacy & American democracy.'
Zuckerberg himself said:
'If someone’s going to try to threaten something that existential, you go to the mat+fight.'
Well, Facebook’s reckless behavior represents a threat to our privacy & American democracy.
Some things are worth fighting for. So let’s go to the mat & fight. https://t.co/YsZzJpDBtk

Last November, she also took to Twitter to slam Facebook, saying it had 'clearly lost control of their product' for allowing conspiracy theories and fake quotes to stay on the website.
That the right is mobilizing fake quotes, conspiracies + outright hatred, particularly on Congresswomen of color, shows how vapid they are on actual issues.
The racism allowed towards Ilhan + others is completely unacceptable. @Facebook has clearly lost control of their product. https://t.co/vqRaM3iAjX

Earlier in the week, Zuckerberg defended the tech company during a speech at Georgetown University. The social-media giant, he said, is committed to 'giving people a voice.'
'[A]s long as enough of us keep fighting for this, I believe that more people’s voices will eventually help us work through these issues together and write a new chapter in our history—where from all of our individual voices and perspectives, we can bring the world closer together,' Zuckerberg said.
