(Chicago, IL) - New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is accused of putting on a fake new accent during her raucous Democratic National Convention speech.
AOC, 34, lit up social media after her rousing address to delegates in Chicago on Monday night left many asking: “What accent is AOC using here?”
Her dramatic oration was delivered in an apparent Southern drawl as she shouted at the audience. “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.”
DNC attendees chanted “AOC” as she walked out on stage and during portions of her speech she was drowned out by huge applause and cheers.
“AOC speech was cringe. The fake accent was way too much for me. Back snapped. I called it. DNC is cringe as all get out,” one user posted on X.
Another critic added: “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez developed a new phony accent in the middle of delivering her very painful speech.”
