Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., flipped her lid over a New York Times “glamour” photo on Sunday and called the media racist for sharing it.
Ocasio-Cortez complaint was that The Times used a professional photograph of White House aide Hope Hicks in an article.
And she wasn’t just mad. The freshman congresswoman had a total meltdown over it.
She says the newspaper used a “glamour” photo of Hopes, but the “media routinely post menacing photos of people-of-color victims + dredge up any questionable thing they’d ever done.”
“But when Hope Hicks considers not complying w a subpoena, it’s glamour shot time,” she said.
What gets me is news breaks that this woman is weighing committing a crime before Congress &it’s getting framed by the NYT as some Lifetime drama called “Hope’s Choice.”
This is a fmr admin official considering participating in a coverup led by the President.
Treat her equally. https://t.co/XcNbSuU4QB

Yup. Where’s the “no angel” take now?
In the immediate aftermath of shootings, media routinely post menacing photos of people-of-color victims + dredge up any questionable thing they’d ever done.
But when Hope Hicks considers not complying w a subpoena, it’s glamour shot time. https://t.co/ACnvXlKF7Q

Hicks is “facing an existential question” regarding a subpoena by the House Judiciary Committee, The New York Times reported.
The Democrat-controlled House has ordered Hicks to turn over certain documents by June 4 and to appear in person on June 19.
Hicks was interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller’s team during its exhaustive two-year, $85 million investigation. Since the investigation concluded, the White House has refused further cooperation.
