Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced blowback from conservatives on social media this week after they accused her of putting on a fake accent at a rally.
The progressive New York congresswoman held a rally in Nampa, Idaho, with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who caucuses with Democrats, on Monday where she reportedly drew over 12,000 people and caught the attention of conservatives with one particular clip where she was accused of deliberately changing her tone of voice.
“Oh look, AOC is doing the interchangeable accents to fit the demographic she’s in front of,” conservative influencer account Gunther Eagleman wrote on X. “Did she take notes from Kamala?”
“Kamala Harris just introduced yet another new accent,” conservative influencer Benny Johnson posted on X. “Sike, this is AOC. Seems to be using Kamala’s playbook. I guess she didn’t pay attention during the 2024 election.”
“AOC is pretending to have some sort of strange accent,” Townhall.com posted on X. “This is exactly what Kamala Harris did on the campaign trail. Why do they do this?”
“WATCH: AOC debuts new accent ahead of reported Presidential run,” Breaking 911 posted on X. “It’s worse than Kamala’s or Hillary.”
Fox News Digital reached out to AOC’s office for comment.
The comparisons to Harris originate from the presidential campaign trail last year when Harris was often criticized for using different accents while speaking to different crowds.

I doubt she was a very good bartender. Probably couldn’t tell the difference between a Marini and a Manhattan. Probably just poured beer and watered down shots. But I bet she bent down a lot and showed as much cleavage as possible and winked and wet her lips and got great tips from all the drunks.
Jeeez. MARTINI not marini. - 10 sp.
BTTT
Bring back the Minnie Mouse voice!
After two, they become Marinis!
Right. And then there’s this one: “ Hello offisher. Drink? How many? Dunno, I think I’ve had tweemany martoonies”.
Sike
What?! Pretty sure that should be “psych.” Idiots writing these days.....
Her crowd is as ok with this as watching a senator using taxpayer money to go to El Salvador to retrieve an illegal alien gang leader
Non story
For AOC, the ends justifies the means. The war is to alienate MAGA.
LOL - we’re smart enough to figure it out.....
Seems contagious, Hillary, Kamala, AOC, …..
Fake accents and pandering are the sincerest form of politician.
So she adopted an Idaho accent? I don’t know what that would be.
I hat to miz pell wrds.
No surprise - Washington DC is Hollywood for people who can’t make it in Hollywood.
As an accurately preconceived notion, anyone listening to her should keep it mind that she can’t afford to be honest about anything.
