In a speech in front of Al Sharpton’s NAN, AOC ripped a page out of Hillary’s book and she began speaking with a fake Black accent. But, now she claims it’s the same voice she used in talking about Kavanaugh and the same voice she used at the Women’s March.
Unfortunately for her, there are videos of all three and the voices aren’t even close to her speech to Blacks. She claims that she learned to talk to Blacks at school, but I don’t see how that is possible because she lived in an exclusive neighborhood and an exclusive school, where Blacks do not live or go to school in large numbers.
Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded Friday to critics who accused her of using a fake black accent during her speech at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention.
“Folks talking about my voice can step right off,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Women’s March & Kavanaugh speech, same. Any kid who grew up in a distinct linguistic culture & had to learn to navigate class enviros at school/work knows what’s up. My Spanish is the same way.”

My Spanish is the same way.

As much as the right wants to distort & deflect, I am from the Bronx. I act & talk like it, *especially* when I’m fired up and especially when I’m home.
It is so hurtful to see how every aspect of my life is weaponized against me, yet somehow asserted as false at the same time.

To recap, critics felt like AOC laid it on pretty thick during her Friday speech, speaking in an accent she otherwise doesn’t usually use. This was pointed out by Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra, who eventually got blocked after later posting videos that seemed to counter her claim.

Ocasio-Cortez claims that she used the same accent during her “Women’s March & Kavanaugh speech”
This is a lie.
Accurately reporting on what she said and how she said it is not a “conspiracy mill”
