Yesterday, after news broke that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wasn’t in the Capitol building during the January 6 storming of the Capitol, social media posts making fun of her framing it as a near-death experience started to trend.
Hashtags such as “#AOClied” and “#AOCSmollett” (a reference to actor Jussie Smollett who was indicted for making false police reports claiming that he was the victim of a hate crime and the subject of online mockery as social media users questioned his claims) started to trend on Twitter and memes, jokes, and criticism of Ocasio-Cortez started to go viral.
And as these posts went viral, Ocasio-Cortez’s team sent an email to her followers instructing them to scan social media “to find posts with this misleading information” and then “report those spreading this disinformation campaign” to Facebook and Twitter. ...
The email from Ocasio-Cortez’s team also brings in the issue of the First Amendment. US lawmakers can’t censor posts they don’t like directly because it would go against the free speech protections that are enshrined in the First Amendment. But they can increase the likelihood of these posts being removed by instructing their huge follower base to mass report posts they don’t like.

WASHINGTON D.C.—Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the world’s smartest socialist, gave more harrowing testimony of her experience during the January 6th riot at the Capitol. She said it was even worse than what she had previously revealed, stating that she was, in fact, killed by the riot and is now a ghost.
“It was a very scary riot,” said the ghostly apparition of Ocasio-Cortez. “Not like one of those nice Black Lives Matter ones where all that happened was someone’s barbershop or something got burned down. So scary, in fact, that I was killed by it. Murdered. Murdered by Ted Cruz. Woo-ooo!”
The press conference brought the journalists in attendance to tears. The moment was almost ruined, though, by Representative Nancy Mace, who tried to deny Ocasio-Cortez’s trauma by saying she isn’t actually a ghost and then tried to pull off of Ocasio-Cortez what Mace claimed was just a sheet with eye holes. Mace was booed by all the reporters.
Legend has it that Ocasio-Cortez now haunts the halls of the Capitol, making loud bumps and noises in the night -- though some claim that’s just because she sometimes gets the sheet on backward.
