<p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said over the weekend that Fox News was responsible for inciting violence and that it was the Congress&#8217; job to explore ways to regulate Fox News.</p>
<p>Ocasio-Cortez made the remarks during an interview Sunday on MSNBC with Jen Psaki while discussing Fox News&#8217; recent $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have very real issues with what is permissible on air, and we saw that with January 6th and we saw that in the lead up to January 6th, and how we navigate questions, not just a freedom of speech but also accountability for incitement of violence,&#8221; AOC said. &#8220;This is the role we have to really explore through law as well.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I believe that when it comes to broadcast television, like FOX News, these are subject to federal law and regulation in terms of what&#8217;s allowed on air and what isn&#8217;t,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;And when you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of these other folks on Fox do, it is very, very clearly incitement of violence. Very clearly.&#8221;</p>

<p>TRANSCRIPT:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>JEN PSAKI, MSNBC: This week, FOX News settled their defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million, a lot of money, it is one of the largest media defamation lawsuits in history. Do you think Dominion&#8217;s lawyers made mistake in not requiring FOX to acknowledge on air that they lied to their viewers?</em></p>
<p><em>REP. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: Well, this was a corporation suing another corporation for material damages. Their job is to go in and get the most money that they can, and I think that they did that. They are not lawyers for the American public and I think what is best for the country, what would have been best for the country, would have been to demand that, and not settle until we got that.</em></p>
<p><em>But that is not their role, and so for us, I think this raises much larger questions. Very often, I believe that we leave it to the courts to solve issues that politics is really supposed to solve, that legislating is supposed to solve.</em></p>
<p><em>We have very real issues with what is permissible on air, and we saw that with January 6th and we saw that in the lead up to January 6th, and how we navigate questions, not just a freedom of speech but also accountability for incitement of violence. This is the role we have to really explore through law as well.</em></p>
<p><em>PSAKI: Do you think media organizations of social media platforms should be accountable for being platforms for incitement?</em></p>
<p><em>OCASIO-CORTEZ: I believe that when it comes to broadcast television, like FOX News, these are subject to federal law and regulation in terms of what&#8217;s allowed on air and what isn&#8217;t. And when you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of these other folks on Fox do, it is very, very clearly incitement of violence. Very clearly. And that is the line that I think we have to be willing to contend with.</em></p></blockquote>
