Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has accused CNN of being "manipulated" into promoting election disinformation during former President Donald Trump's town hall event on Wednesday evening.

In a tweet, Ocasio-Cortez criticized the liberal outlet for losing control of the event and allowing Trump to defend the January 6th Capitol riot and attack a sexual abuse victim. She stated, "This falls squarely on CNN. Everyone here saw exactly what was going to happen. Instead, they put a sexual abuse victim in harm's way for views."

During the town hall event, Trump responded to an audience member's question by saying he would stop talking about election fraud on the campaign trail "unless I see election fraud." He also claimed that he had informed his supporters to remain peaceful and support Capitol police and law enforcement on January 5, 2021, the day before the Capitol riot.

When asked about the E Jean Carroll ruling, which found Trump liable of battery and not liable of rape, and whether voters thought it would disqualify him from being President, Trump responded, "Well, there aren't too many of them because my poll numbers just came out—they went up."

Ocasio-Cortez criticized the audience for cheering and laughing at the host and accused CNN of choosing to platform lies about the election and January 6 without consequence. She stated, "This was a choice to platform lies about the election & Jan 6th w/ no plan but to have their moderator interrupted without consequence."

At the beginning of the town hall event, host Kaitlan Collins stated that "no questions are off the table, and we agreed to no conditions." In response to Ocasio-Cortez's criticism, Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec mocked her, saying, "Get your hankies ready, Sandy. 2016 is happening again."
