Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez falsely claimed today that Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop is “half-fake” — as she smeared The NY Post’s bombshell reporting that first exposed the device and its contents, the Post reports.
“We’re talking about Hunter Biden’s half-fake laptop story. I mean, this is an embarrassment,” the 33-year-old raged, suggesting the House Oversight Committee hearing should have been focused on issues like abortion and civil rights.
AOC’s rant got off to a bad start when she confused New York’s favorite tabloid with the reliably liberal Washington Post — “I think that the story here with the New York, with the Washington Post reporting” — and went downhill from there.
Disregarding both journalistic practices and the principle of free speech, Ocasio-Cortez suggested The Post’s ban from Twitter was its own fault because it did not loop competing outlets in on the laptop’s contents.
“The New York Post had this alleged information and was trying to publish it without any corroboration, without any backup information, they were trying to publish it to Twitter, Twitter would not let them — and now they are upset,” Ocasio-Cortez claimed.
“I believe that political operatives who sought to inject explosive disinformation with the Washington Post couldn’t get away with it,” she continued.
“And now they’re livid and they want the ability to do it again. They want the ability to inject this again. They are weaponizing the use of this committee.” Read more.
