Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sent people scratching their heads when she spoke in Ebonics at a rally for black Tennessee Congressional Candidate Justin Pearson.
Many were quick to point out AOC’s strange accent.
AOC is Hispanic and Puerto Rican, but instead of staying in her own lane and leaning into her actual cultural roots, she embraced trans ideology and turned herself into a black woman for the rally in the South.
Isn’t that called cultural appropriation?
During the speech, she referenced a rally she attended in Montgomery, Alabama, earlier this year with Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), whom she called “Sista Presley,” telling New Yorkers to “pull up” to the South to help fight Republicans.
Notably, during her May speech in Montgomery, AOC did not appear to have this same accent. Perhaps she’s been working on it.
