‘RACIST, SAD, DISTURBING’: Ocasio-Cortez Slammed For Accent Used During Speech, Condescending Remarks

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) faced intense backlash on Friday after she used an accent to talk to a predominately black audience at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network.

“This is what organizing looks like, this is what building power looks like, this is what changing the country looks like,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a southern accent while speaking in New York City. “I’m proud to be a bartender, ain’t nothin wrong with that.”
