"She's A Joke": Michelle Caruso-Cabrera Fumes After AOC Kicks Out Media From Her Only In-Person Debate "She's A Joke": Michelle Caruso-Cabrera Fumes After AOC Kicks Out Media From Her Only In-Person Debate After finally being goaded to participate in the in-person Parkchester Times debate on Wednesday, NY-14's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed up to debate opponent Michelle Caruso-Cabrera. But she wouldn't take the stage and allow the event to start with the media or audience members in the room, according to the publication that hosted the event.  AOC reportedly "demanded reporters leave the room" before she took the stage to debate MCC, according to the Parkchester Times, who labeled her a "bully" in their coverage of the event.  The lack of media attention set off her opponent, MCC, who put out a press release Wednesday night that read: "At tonight's Parkchester Times debate, in behavior more appropriate for a temperamental princess than an elected Member of Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demanded that reporters and audience members leave the room before she took the stage. She left the residents of the 14th District with a malfunctioning Facebook feed that could scarcely be heard."  MCC continued in her release, say that AOC favors censorship and calling her a socialist: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/shes-joke-michelle-caruso-cabrera-fumes-after-aoc-kicks-out-media-her-only-person-debate
