On 6 April 2019, the Taters Gonna Tate website falsely reported that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) had proposed a nationwide ban on motorcycle use in the U.S.: Ocasio-Cortez, who at 29 is the youngest woman ever to serve in Congress, is the frequent target of inflammatory clickbait, hoaxes, and conspiracy theories. Perhaps because so much media attention of varying quality is devoted to her, readers questioned whether it was true that she was seeking a motorcycle ban. This claim about a nationwide motorcycle ban is a fabricated one that originated solely with the Taters Gonna Tate website, which is part of the America's Last Line of Defense (LLOD) network of junk news sites that promulgate political misinformation under the guise of proffering satire. The site carries a disclaimer noting that nothing published there is to be believed, stating on its About page that Everything on this website is fiction.
