Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being sued for blocking a former Democratic New York state assemblyman on Twitter who is citing a similar court case against President Trump.
Dov Hikind claims the Tuesday ruling from an appeals court that found Trump violated the First Amendment by blocking users on Twitter makes it unconstitutional for Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, to block him. He wants the court to restore his access to Ocasio-Cortez's account and prevent her from blocking him in the future.
Trump was challenged by seven individuals he blocked on Twitter, as well as the Knight First Amendment Institute, which argued the President's personal account is an extension of his office.The Justice Department argued the President wasn't"wielding the power" of the federal government when he blocked certain individuals from his personal Twitter account, @realDonaldTrump, and blocks users as a personal matter.
