Ocasio-Cortez did not specify which members of Congress she was referring to as “white supremacist sympathizers.” She made previous claims in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol, when she said that sheltering in an “insecure location” felt safer than sheltering with the members she viewed as “white supremacist” sympathizers, who might give up her location to.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has accused Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook of being partially responsible for last week's violent siege of the US capitol building.

The New York congresswoman, referring to Zuckerberg, said: 'He is part of the problem. Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook bear partial responsibility for Wednesday's events. Period.'

Speaking during a virtual town hall meeting on Friday, Ocasio-Cortez went on to say that Facebook was ' trying to do as much damage control as possible, but they knew.'

Ocasio-Cortez suggested that Facebook has historically had a 'complete lack of accountability' to democracy during the town hall meeting.

She particularly focused on what she believes is Zuckerberg's unwillingness to tackle election disinformation.

The congresswoman said: 'We knew this was a problem. We knew this so far out that, pre-Covid, I asked him specifically about election disinformation and its ties, on Facebook, to white supremacist organizations.'

She referred to her 2019 exchange in Congress in which she grilled Zuckerberg with tough questions about Facebook's refusal to take down political ads with false statements.

Ocasio-Cortez also seemed to level the accusation against Zuckerberg that he was 'more than happy to have dinner parties with white supremacist sympathizers.'

This refers to Politico reports that Zuckerberg hosted 'off-the-record dinners' with the likes of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Sen. Lindsey Graham, and conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.

Earlier this week, Facebook's chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg dismissed claims that the US Capitol building's siege was primarily organized on Facebook.

Sandberg did, however, admit that Facebook's 'enforcement is never perfect.'
