AOC tells New Yorkers to ‘pull up’ to Alabama during fiery rally speech
Fox News via NY Post ^ | 5/24/26 | Alexandra Koch

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is taking heat from southern conservatives after she delivered a fiery speech in Montgomery, Alabama, last week, demanding that northern progressives “pull up to the South.”

Speaking at the “All Roads Lead to The South” rally May 16, the prominent “Squad” member claimed the US was not a true democracy until the 1960s when the Voting Rights Act was passed, and took direct aim at the Supreme Court, accusing the high court under Chief Justice John Roberts of being “part of that long history of regression and repression in America.”

Ocasio-Cortez then issued a highly controversial call to action, demanding that “the North” travel to red states like Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi to fight what she described as political injustice.

She doubled down on social media following the event, writing, “If you’re not from these states, it’s time to pull up.”

Her rhetoric was quickly slammed by conservatives on social media, with many pointing out the irony of the congresswoman urging people to “pull up” while she stood heavily protected during her speech behind bulletproof glass.

Conservative podcaster Todd Spears went viral with a TikTok reaction video that racked up 1 million views, mocking Ocasio-Cortez’s security setup.

“[Pull up] and do what? Help us get the boat off the trailer, like cut the grass, track a deer in the woods?” Spears said.

“Roll up and do what exactly? Because you’re standing behind, like, pope glass in your own hometown. You come down here starting that s—, you better bring a tank. That’s not a good idea. You stay where you’re at.”

Spears also criticized the divisive nature of her remarks, writing in the video caption that “AOC talking about the North ‘rolling up’ on the South and Alabama, like this is still the 1860s...

AOC doesn't realize, outsiders come up into these hills, and then they make a Wrong Turn.

This dumb NYC bartender does not realize who she is threatening. The people of Alabama will have no patience for her brand of progressive nonsense. Go ahead and “pull up” to Alabama and watch what happens.

She won’t do anything but run her mouth. It is the weak minded useful idiots she is trying to activate that are of concern. They start popping off and causing a chain reaction is exactly what she is trying to incite.

Yeah? Well I demand Southerners “pull up to” the North. Southerners need to travel to states like Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire and others for denying Republican voters any representation at all in Congress. Massachusetts in particular has gerrymandered so hard that they haven’t elected a Republican to the US House in over 30 years. In a region where 40% of the electorate is Republican, denying them any representation at all is a gross injustice.

not a true democracy until the 1960s when the Voting Rights Act was passed,

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was opposed by the Democrat party, with Senator Al Gore Sr. fillibustering in an attempt to prevent its passage.

WTF is ‘pull up’ even mean? I thought “Pull Ups” were diapers. Is ‘pull up’ some sort of Bronx slang?

I have never heard that term before ...

Poor thing, obviously does not know that the Democrats created the KKK/Jim Crow society that ran the South for all of those years and a Republican like Ike began the enforcement of desegregation.

If right wing conservative values were afforded the same fake news speader factor as that the leftist idiocracy gets then maybe the stupid in this Country would be a little more concise in their misinformed visions.

"Because you’re standing behind, like, pope glass in your own hometown."

Either its:
1. An inflated sense of importance (like her comment that everyone wants to sleep with her)
2. Some of these Dems know they're stirring stuff up to the point that someone is going to "return the favor", having gotton fed up with the violence the Left's lackeys are engaging in

Or some combination thereof.

I guarantee you, loudmouths like AOC would be no where near the trouble they helped stir up. At heart they're cowards.

You are 100% on point. As a blessed resident of Alabama, all I can say is "bring it".

Unfortunately, Barbara Billingsley is no longer around to translate. It will be up to future anthropologists to decipher what she said.

I doubt she was a good bartender at that. Probably just poured beer and shots. Wouldn’t know the difference between a whiskey sour and mint julep. Dumber than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest.

We pray they see the light. We’re perfectly fine forgiving their trespassing. The “progressives “ threaten to go door to door on MAGA for retribution. I asked for clarification to ascertain the degree of the threat just to prepare. I’ll let you know the answer.
