We were the first esteemed publication to reveal that Ocasio-Cortez <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/socialist-tesla-whole-foods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">owned<\/a> a Tesla. We were the first to expose her <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/socialist-tesla-whole-foods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">illegal<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/illegal-testa-parking-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">parking<\/a> (on multiple occasions) outside the Whole Foods in her posh Washington, D.C., neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>The mainstream media responded the way they always do when the <em>Free Beacon<\/em> speaks truth to power by exposing an inconvenient truth about an elected official. They squealed with rage. Disgraced left-wing pundit Keith Olbermann, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/keitholbermann\/status\/1395128271096979458?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lashed out<\/a> at <em>Free Beacon<\/em> executive editor Brent Scher and accused him of being a bad father.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So\u00a0@aoc\u00a0has a Tesla? Cool,&#8221; the lunatic ranted. &#8220;You better get one too, asshole, or that kid in your avatar picture who you don&#8217;t actually give a shit about will be living in a world where it&#8217;s 120 in SC in the summer thanks to your stupidity and wastefulness of natural resources.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Remezcla<\/em>, a Brooklyn-based website for Latinx hipsters, also attacked Scher, a proud Latinx father of two, for holding a powerful politician to account. &#8220;Deservingly so, Twitter users rained down on Scher&#8217;s \u2018Breaking Exclusive&#8217; story, which came with photos of the white car apparently owned by the lawbreaking AOC,&#8221; the outlet reported.
