Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) played the victim card as she complained on Friday about the backlash she faced after she spoke to an audience of predominately black people in an accent — which sparked widespread accusations that her remarks were racist and patronizing.
Ocasio-Cortez — who often refers to Republicans as racists, white supremacists, and xenophobes — complained that is was “so hurtful” that people would call her out for the way she talked to black audience members.
“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. These conspiracy mills are [garbage emoji].”
“As much as the right wants to distort & deflect, I am from the Bronx,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “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.”
