Former Democratic lawmaker suing AOC for blocking him on Twitter

Former Democratic New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind said he plans to sue Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for blocking Twitter users.

“Most likely we will be [the] only plaintiff, but [we will be] citing other examples,” Hikind told Fox News on Tuesday. “The claim is [the] same as [the] one against Trump. She uses that account for political/policy commentary, so to shut a citizen off from her statements is a problem — as well as blocking me from petitioning her or seeking redress.”
