Howard Kurtz Blasts AOC Push for Congress to ‘Rein In’ Media

‘For all her social media fame, she’s still a backbencher’

EXCERPT:

KURTZ: "Yeah, I mean, Bill Clinton used to rail against the left-wing knee-jerk press and so nobody likes being covered especially when you occupy the White House and you're focus of so much scrutiny. Let’s keep in mind on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. There’s no legislation being drawn up here, she’s talking about discussions, and for all her social media fame, she’s still a backbencher. And let’s also remember, Dana, that passions are running high. On that same Instagram video that you just showed, she talked about how she thought she was going to die during the Capitol siege, said she had a very close call. So I’m willing to cut her some slack. I don't think she’s necessarily thought through all the implications that are being suggested here."
