New York Post Fiery freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will take the stand in Brooklyn federal court next month — to explain to a judge why she blocks people on Twitter.
The Bronx-born congresswoman will testify at a Nov. 5 hearing as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by ex-Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who claims the Democratic darling wrongfully blocked him on Twitter because of his “criticism” of her.
Attorneys for the freshman lawmaker confirmed she would appear at the 11 a.m. hearing but declined to comment.
Hikind, a prominent Jewish leader, sued Ocasio-Cortez in July, claiming the Democrat violated his First Amendment rights after he criticized her on Twitter.
“I’m very excited,” Hikind told The Post on Thursday. “Five million people follow her and she blocks Dov Hikind. What in God’s name was she concerned about?”
