Two appearances by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez this week have reignited criticism from conservatives as speculation continues over whether the New York Democrat could eventually seek the White House.
The back-to-back moments quickly spread across social media, with critics questioning both her campaign style and her response to a question about the U.S. Senate.
Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., first drew attention while campaigning in Tennessee for Democratic state Rep. Justin Pearson, who is running for Congress in the state’s 9th District.
Speaking at a get-out-the-vote event, Ocasio-Cortez urged supporters not to overlook traditionally Republican states.
“We can’t afford to leave Tennessee behind, Kentucky behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, Georgia behind, South Carolina behind,” she said.
The speech immediately drew criticism online, with many conservatives arguing that Ocasio-Cortez appeared to adopt a Southern accent that differed from her usual speaking voice.
Commentators compared the moment to past criticism directed at former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, both of whom have faced accusations that they change their speaking style depending on the audience.

Likely mixed with a potent marijuana mixture... Drug addicts really should stay home when they partake in their addiction.
She ain’t in no ways tarrrd. But the evidence is to the contrary.
The pro-illegal alien squawd chief tried to sound like Davy Crockett or Buddy Ebsen. A Puerto Rican anchor baby hero of the Alamo.
Put her down the garbage disposal...
Where are the lefty media stories about her drug addiction ?
Where is the GOP run Congress investigating her DRUG Addiction?
That House leader is a real Moron for not bring this up weekly .
Has she been taking lessons from Jasmine Crockett?
If she really wants to let it rip, she should watch Foghorn Leghorn cartoons to get some dialect tips.
The Dem’s have condescending and patronizing speech and behavior down to a science. What a bunch of cringey phony baloneys.

😊👍🇺🇸. Being a U.S. citizen doesn’t make you an American.
Can you substantiate that in any way?
Did she say, “Well, doggie! That’s was plumb tirin’!”

The complaint has been filed to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC), as well as the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC).
Four separate expenditures by Ocasio-Cortez's campaign sent to Dr. Boyle were designated as 'leadership training and consulting,' per FEC records.
The complaint alleges that the funds were 'expended instead for personal psychiatric services provided to AOC or members of her campaign staff.'
And on that basis, tens of millions of rural and Southern voters swung to supporting her. /S
I’m from Alabama. We know better.
Yeah, I saw the sarcasm tag. Just want to make an official statement!
