Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the latest lawmaker to criticize Twitter CEO Elon Musk‘s attempts to suspend several mainstream journalists for covering stories about him.
The New York Democrat and liberal firebrand referred to Mr. Musk‘s move as “an abuse of power” after he banned journalists from CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post.
“You’re a public figure. An extremely controversial and powerful one. I get feeling unsafe, but descending into abuse of power + erratically banning journalists only increases the intensity around you,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
