AOC says she gets death threats after organizations air 'hateful messages' about her

WASHINGTON — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., explained on Twitter Tuesday evening that she gets death threats because of "hateful messages" aired by groups like Fox News and other outlets.

Her comments follow a minor league baseball team's apology for showing a video during a Memorial Day game that juxtaposed an image of the freshman congresswoman alongside images of Kim Jong Un and Fidel Castro.

"I‘ve had mornings where I wake up & the 1st thing I do w/ my coffee is review photos of the men (it’s always men) who want to kill me," she wrote.
