Former President Trump seems to have caused a nervous breakdown for woke Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) with his performance at a CNN-hosted televised town hall.
Triggered by 45’s Powerful Town Hall
The 70-minute program on Wednesday night saw Trump knock out multiple attempts at discrediting him by host Kaitlan Collins. He ended up calling her a “nasty person” for her constant interruptions, the Gateway Pundit reported.
Apparently, Trump’s performance was too much to take for AOC, who seems to have been triggered by Trump’s fresh blow to the left.
In a lengthy tirade in a couple of tweets, the New York Democrat lashed out at CNN for even deciding to host a Trump town hall in the first place. She argued the far-left network “should be ashamed” of itself for doing that.
Her Twitter freakout came about 30 minutes after the start of the meeting, as she was unable to hold out until the end. AOC particularly blasted CNN for allowing Trump to launch a “public attack” against a “sexual abuse victim.”
This comes after last week. The ex-president was sentenced for “sexually assaulting” a woman whom he says he doesn’t know – a lefty author called E. Jean Carroll, who said he raped her in a fitting room.
CNN should be ashamed of themselves.
They have lost total control of this “town hall” to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim.
The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.

This, the choice to platform election disinformation, lies about January 6th, totally unchecked and reckless claims about abortion… they need to take ownership of what just happened.
This cannot be normalized. It’s dangerous.

All-out AOC Freakout Online and on TV
AOC was also enraged that the audience constantly cheered, applauded, and laughed during Trump’s performance.
According to Ocasio-Cortez, CNN sacrificed a “sex abuse victim” in order to get views – which may as well be true, considering the leftist network’s abysmal viewership ratings.
AOC later continued her attack against Trump, but also against CNN, as she gave comments to MSNBC.
She claimed CNN had to “take ownership” of what it allowed to happen on the air. AOC concluded by accusing Trump of lying about abortion, J6, and the 2020 presidential election.
