Much to the ire of certain corners of the Right, Twitter has evidently suspended the account of "Mini AOC," an 8-year-old girl who lampoons liberal firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Any self-actualized conservative ought to admit that the tech giant was unequivocally right to do so. We rightfully criticize the Left when they prop up Greta Thunberg as an authority on climate change. Thunberg being a 16-year-old Swedish girl with a number of mental health problems renders her uniquely susceptible to the pressures of the global political stage. We understand that hiding behind children to voice the political opinions of adults is grossly disingenuous, and even more important, we know

Mini AOC is making fun of the woman. Thunberg is autistic, has Aspbergers and a very angry face and irate behavior. See the difference!

Rightly???
Is twitter a platform or a publisher?
If a platform, it has NO right to do so.
If a publisher, then it is subject to lawsuits that platforms are mostly immune to.
Can't legally have it both ways.
Oh, and is Greta still being published on twitter?
yeah, sounds like an agenda driven PUBLISHER.

Twitter should publish their criteria for posting on their platforms, instead of arbitrarily having a group of leftists decide based on the situation. Twitter should review history and acquaint themselves of why we have the rule of laws rather than make it up as you go as Twitter does.

So, was St. Greta banned from Twitter?

I hate the stilted "disingenuous." Just say "insincere" and be done with it. "Disingenuous" became the word of the decade during the Simpson murder trial.

Whether one agrees or disagrees, the question is, at what age is the 1st Amendment no longer applicable? This kid and the 16 y/o where doing nothingmore than poltical speech. Now Twitter isn't the goobernment so can censor as it desires. However, the rest of us must understand at what age do rights no longer apply? We know the unborn have no human rights whatsoever. Kiling them is AOk in this country. and in certain liberal states killing newborns is AOk as well so long as the mmother and doctor agree to kill the child. So we know age does play a rle in defining what constitutional rights are guaranteed. Kinda sad.

So...Twitter is the same platform as the UN? I don’t think so. This stinks of false equivalence. Being on twitter does not give her any credibility whatsoever other than the power of her own voice. Being invited and allowed to speak at the UN is entirely different and extremely exclusive. Sorry, demented author. I don’t think you are in any position to opine on what a self actualized conservative should or should not believe. You clearly are not one. Junk heap for this article.

The requirement that you must be 13 for a Facebook account is a joke. My niece's cat has a Facebook account. And the cat is not 13. One of the goals of The Left is to totally control the news media. They will tell us what to think and what is truth and what is false. They hate the first amendment even more than the second. I will miss mim AOC. She was really funny. I have completely stopped watching the late night talk shows and SNL because they are totally biased and not even mildly amusing. Greg Gutfield is the program that does actually funny political parody.

Twitter and all leftists are extremely afraid of this eight-year-old girl. First, the death threats to her and her family, and now suspending her. Something is very wrong. They can't win on facts, so they shut people down, therefore no one else can hear what they can't logically refute. This isn't going to end well.

Not the same, Tiana. Sorry, girl, you're wrong. You ought to admit that only conservative thought is banned from Twitter. They throw in a minor leftists or two here and there to trick people like you into thinking they're being fair. Either you're being dumb or you're being played. Wake up! and stop telling us what we should admit. You don't know nothing, Tiana Snow.

I would argue that Twitter is a public accommodation and by blocking Mini AOC they are guilty of discrimination.

I didn't think Washington Examiner was so stupid. As if Mini AOC is the only child actor ever??? Must every child actor be approved by a Hollywood executive? How sick and disgusting.

Mini is funny. Unlike AOC and Greta. Perhaps her parents or someone help her ideas. She is only eight years old, for goodness sakes. Still, her little skits have more truth in them than 99% of lame liberal talking points, which are repeated word for word, as by a flock of parrots.

Legally, parody has always been ruled as "Free Speech" meaning that people like "Weird Al" Yankovic never had to seek permission from rock bands to create his parody videos.

To me, it is quite simple. Mini AOC is funny and entertaining. Thunberg is pitiable yet annoying. Who wants to see that. I think the PUBLISHER Twitter is beyond asshattitude.

Tiana Lowe, another 'expert' on who should be able to say what. I don't care if the Left tells constant lies-I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE FOR MYSELF. I do care about socialist pimps like Tiana Lowe telling us what is and isn't appropriate speech. GFY Tiana.

Leftist prigs in this country are so terrified by a little girl that they enlist Twitter to censor her.

Nope, I don't agree with the ban. Why give motor mouth AOC unfettered air time to spout her communist agenda without counter air time, whether it's a 8-year girl or not. The demonrats certainly have no problem using children.

Real Conservatives will decide what we like and don't like and I enjoy mini AOC immensely. Twitter is extremely biased as are the rest of the tech platforms and the media. That's why stupid people are put on this Earth, to provide entertainment.
