AOC grilled Mark Zuckerberg today for allowing the Daily Caller, who she claims has ties to White Supremacists, to be an independent fact-checker on Facebook:

Before she asks about the Daily Caller, AOC grills Zuckerberg about taking down political ads that have “lies” in them. Fascist AOC wants him to take them down, but Zuckerberg’s argues that it is better for constituents to hear what their representative says, lies and all.
Then AOC jumps on Zuckerberg for allowing Daily Caller to be a fact-checker, but Zuckerberg says that’s not up to him, but rather an independent group that selects publications based on rigorous standards. AOC claims that the Daily Caller has ties to White Supremacists, and tries to pin Zuckerberg on that point. But he just says that they aren’t the ones making these selections.
Daily Caller’s Editor-In-Chief Geoffrey Ingersoll responded this way:
Despite … totally accurate and aggressive reporting on AOC’s odd campaign finance accounting more like it.
It’s no wonder she wants us excluded.https://t.co/aXmLNHevEL https://t.co/edKLNxutQL

Boom!
Elizabeth Heng also made a great point:
Instead of defending her ideas, @aoc calls everyone who doesn’t agree with her a white supremacist (or racist) — including yours truly. https://t.co/vprJB4c7oI

And lastly…
You can tell by the way she shows no interest in his answers that she’s mostly interested in creating a viral clip https://t.co/fSZ8Cp7BZD
