During a congressional hearing about Twitter’s censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story (among other cases of censorship), Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez randomly went on a rant about the “Libs of TikTok” Twitter account, which is known for reposting videos of liberals exposing their own insanity.
While there are countless publications that exist solely to post soundbites from right-wing media to mock them (such as Media Matters, Right Wing Watch, and others), AOC only has a problem with people being quoted in their own words when it makes her side look bad.
Rather than ask anything of substance, AOC attempted to link Libs of TikTok to bomb threats against hospitals that provide transgender surgeries to minors during a bizarre tirade.
Watch below:
While the video posted above is titled “AOC loses her mind over Libs of TikTok,” a number of readers have pointed out it’s impossible to lose what one didn’t have in the first place.
Libs of TikTok has since responded to AOC: “AOC isn’t mad that children are being chemically and surgically castrated. She’s just mad you found out.”
As for why Libs of TikTok was singled out by AOC, it could be personal. Last November Libs of TikTok caught AOC in a lie about the proceeds from merchandise she sells going to charities - when in reality they go to her campaign.

Proceeds go to her campaign unlike to “community acts” like she claimed. https://t.co/tEqbtmPwhG pic.twitter.com/dsWOmBPzSZ
