AOC Blames ‘Internet Culture’ for Violent, Sexist Bernie Bros Behavior
‘I think internet culture can often be very toxic’
EXCERPT:
OCASIO-CORTEZ: "Yeah, I think internet culture can often be very toxic. And whether we are cognizant of it or not, it nearly always concentrates on women, people of color, and we experience the brunt of it. And I think that to a certain extent we have to always reject hate, reject vitriol, and denounce that kind of behavior. Also, you know, we also know the amount of anonymous activity that happens on the Internet and that simply is difficult — it is difficult to control. When you have like a — you know, a Twitter handle with a bunch of numbers on it with two followers that are lobbying vitriol at you, we don’t know where that comes from.”
