Twitter appears to be avoiding the serious accusations raised by Congressman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, DN.Y. against Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on his platform on Thursday.
Ocasio-Cortez, who repeatedly asked Cruz to waive his challenge for part of the Electoral College’s certification of President Biden’s victory, rejected the Republican legislature’s olive branch after the two agreed to conduct congressional hearings on the decision Robinhood’s stock trading app to block stock purchases from companies like GameStop amid the chaos of Wall Street caused by amateur traders.

“I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there is common ground, but you almost murdered me three weeks ago, so you can stay out,” said Ocasio-Cortez Cruz. “Happy to work with almost any other GOP that isn’t trying to kill me. In the meantime, if you want to help, you can step down.”
Critics criticized the rhetoric of the Democratic member of the “squad”. Conservative Media Research Center (MRC) challenged Twitter to act against its tweet and suggested hypocrisy from the tech giant after former President Donald Trump was permanently suspended from the platform earlier this month.
AOC SAYS IT HAS SKIPPED INAUGURATION, IN PART, BECAUSE IT DOESN’T FEEL SAFE BEFORE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESS
“A troubled member of Congress accusing a United States senator of attempted murder? If Trump had lied like that, you would have closed him down,” reacted MRC. “@birdwatch @TwitterSafety – SUSPEND @AOC or prove your left bias. #SUSPENDAOC”
Conservative commentator Stephen Miller tested the Twitter community’s new fact-checking initiative, “Birdwatch,” by filing a report on the congresswoman’s “misleading or potentially misleading” tweet.

“Ted Cruz did not try to get Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez to be murdered,” said Miller.
Others have suggested that Ocasio-Cortez’s tweet is tantamount to “defamation” and inciting violence against the senator.
“Louder with Crowder” host Steve Crowder wrote: “I’m not saying that this tweet is an attempt to incite violence against an incumbent senator. But a claim like that requires proof or is verifiable slander. You clearly see yourself as above the law. ”

“@TwitterSafety, I would like to report this tweet. @AOC accusing a senator in charge of attempted murder … can we at least verify the facts? This type of accusation is not only subject to defamation, but it also generates many ppls feeling insecure What if she incites retaliation against @SenTedCruz? “Kira Davis, RedState general editor, asked.
“I support @tedcruz to file a defamation lawsuit. I support Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to be investigated for incitement against Senator Cruz and for irresponsibly spreading conspiracy and hateful rhetoric. This behavior should not be tolerated in Congress”, author Chad Felix Greene wrote on Twitter. .
A Twitter spokesman told Fox News, “We have no comment on this.”
Ocasio-Cortez has increased rhetoric towards his Republican colleagues in recent weeks. On Wednesday, the congresswoman said that the House Republican caucus was made up of “white supremacist sympathizers” and that House minority leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., “Responds to these members of Congress’ QAnon” .

“There are no consequences on the Republican caucus for violence, there are no consequences for racism, nor consequences for misogyny, nor consequences for insurrection, and no consequences mean that they tolerate it,” Ocasio-Cortez told MSNBC. “It means that silence is acceptance and they want it because they know it is a nucleus, an animating energy for them and that is extremely dangerous.”
