AOC, YOU’VE BEEN WARNED: Reagan biographer Craig Shirley has a message for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — aka “AOC”— and her comrades in “The Squad:” Don’t!
Don’t think, that is, that there won’t be massively unpleasant legal consequences if they or anybody else on the Left tries to deny a Trump appointee or supporter a future job, promotion, peaceful dinner, media appearance, etc. etc.
“If she is responsible for even one person in the United States not getting a job or getting fired and the boss says, ‘I’m not hiring you because of what AOC said,’ or ‘I’m not hiring you because of your politics,’ she has committed tortious interference and has opened herself up to massive litigation,” Shirley tells The Epoch Times.
The litigation will be launched by Citizens for the Republic (CFTR). If that name sounds familiar, it should because it’s the advocacy group Reagan formed after losing the 1976 GOP presidential nomination battle to Gerald Ford, and which was instrumental in Reagan’s 1980 win.
Shirley recently revived CFTR after it had lain dormant for years. Among the Reagan-era stars on the resurrected CFTR board are former Attorney General Ed Meese, former Reagan White House Communications Director Mari Maseng Will, and former Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chairman Dan Oliver.
