From the New York Post: New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been mocked as “cringe” and “bizarre” after she was accused of putting on a fake new accent during her fiery Democratic National Convention speech.
The lefty congresswoman, 34, was ripped on social media in the wake of her rousing, minutes-long address to delegates in Chicago on Monday night — with many asking, “What accent is AOC using here?”
Footage circulating online pointed to a particularly fired-up portion of Ocasio-Cortez’s address when she took aim at former President Donald Trump.
“I, for one, am tired of hearing about how a two-bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every single day to lift working people from under the boots of greed, trampling on our way of life,” the progressive rep raged.
Conservative comedian Tim Young posted a video of the Democrat Socialist screeching, and wrote, “AOC busted out her fake accent tonight…This is just… bizarre.”

AOC also wildly claimed that “Donald Trump would sell this country for $1 if it meant lining his own pockets and greasing the palms about his Wall Street friends.”
@CryptidPolitics wrote, “Aside from AOC discovering a new accent, it’s hilarious hearing her claim Donald Trump only fights for “the wealthy & big business”. The Democrat Party is literally the party of wealthy elites, Hollywood stars, pro athletes, and woke mega-corporations.”

I’m starting to think AOC yelling in her new southern accent was the highlight https://t.co/Fmqi5X4x8s
