Just 20 hours after announcing she was taking a break from Twitter, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has returned to the platform.
AOC said Monday she was ‘taking a break’ from posting because of ‘negative comments’ that gave her ‘anxiety’ after her bout with COVID and her vacation in Miami.
“So I mean, literally, I would go to open the [Twitter] app and I almost felt like, anxious,” Ocasio-Cortez explained. “People kind of fight and gossip and all this other stuff so much, but — and there’s a lot of negative, negativity on there — but I’ll be back. Don’t worry.”
On Tuesday, the congresswoman made her triumphant return, emerging from her self-imposed hiatus to threaten Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin.
Ocasio-Cortez retweeted a post from CNN reporting that Manchin said President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better bill was ‘dead.’
“Seniors, kids, & people with disabilities in my community have been sleeping with bubble jackets on in 18 degree nights, despite paying rent, bc the NYCHA funding to fix their heating and capital needs is in BBB,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “Where should I direct them to wait out the cold? Manchin’s yacht?”
Wait a minute… New York City, home of some of the highest taxes in the country, can’t afford to heat its public housing? Shocking.
