After a video showing ‘Squad’ member AOC employing a ‘accent’ while speaking to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and appealing to her audience surfaced, she received criticism.
At a seminar hosted by the Rev. Al Sharpton in 2019, Ocasio-Cortez famously declared, with a humorous intonation, “I’m proud to be a bartender.” Nothing is wrong with that,
There is a new video of the incident that was edited with a more recent film of her speaking about Donald Trump without a strong accent. AOC is a total fraud. This is her accent before and after,’ read the caption to the video, uploaded to the Twitter account End Wokeness.

Squad Member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez SLAMMED After Video Re-Emerges Of Her Using A Fake ‘Accent’
Up to the age of five, Ocasio-Cortez lived in the Bronx with her family before they bought a house in Yorktown Heights in upstate Westchester County.
After graduating from Boston University in 2011, she went back to the Bronx. Other conservative opponents ridiculed Ocasio-Cortez for her new accent on Twitter.
Ocasio-Cortez is seen in another video recording donning an accent while being heckled at a town hall in Queens last October, according to a recent Fox News report showcasing the video from Al Sharpton’s event.
AOC has been called out for a number of things over the years, some fair, others more ridiculous. Though, it is strange that she changes her tone and voice depending on who she is speaking to.
It is very similar to how Vice President Kamala Harris speaks to people like they’re 5-year-olds or too stupid to comprehend language. There is no in-between.
This one feels like a little bit of a stretch but I think there is definitely a change between her normal speaking voice and when she is trying to pander. Though, I think there are bigger things that she could be called out for.
What do you think? Is she really pandering to different crowds by faking her voice and accent and do you think this is just something politicians do or is AOC acutely guilty of this? Let us know in the comments below.
