A video of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) apparent change in accent has resurfaced on Twitter.
In the beginning of the video, it shows Ocasio-Cortez talking about former President Donald Trump.
“When Donald Trump tapped into this idea of Make America Great Again, there was times of economic opportunity,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
She added, “Wages rose until the 1970s.”
Another part of the video shows her delivering remarks in 2019 with what appears to be a different accent.
“I’m proud to be a bartender. Ain’t nothing wrong with that,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
She continued, “There’s nothing wrong with working retail, folding clothes for other people to buy. There is nothing wrong with preparing the food that your neighbors will eat.”
The End Wokeness account posted the video with the caption, “AOC is a total fraud. This is her accent before and after.”

Politicians are actors
Politics is theatre
Can she go away?

Seems like she took a page outta old Hill’s book of phony accents.

Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to address her accent in 2019.
“Folks talking about my voice can step right off. Women’s March and Kavanaugh speech, same. Any kid who grew up in a distinct linguistic culture and 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].” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
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.
