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...

Ok in the current liingo what does “pull up” mean?

I think she means, pull up your pants and look a little more respectable if travel from NY to the South.

AOC is an idiot but wants to sit in the White House along with her gang of rabble-rousers.

IF she makes it to the White House. America is finished.

If you or I did that, we’d be under immediate FBI surveillance for plotting and inciting cross-borders insurrections....

Sounds like she is calling out to mobile voters from other states to pull up to Alabama.

That is just such a totally really really excellent idea.

Now let AOC show all the other yankees how it's done.

Alternate words to “Dixie”

Southern men, the thunders mutter.
Northern flags in South winds flutter.
To arms! To arms! To arms! In Dixie!”

Just to pick a nit (and because that’s one of my all time favorite movies), the quote is “I speak JIVE”.

My Great-grandfather’s brother died fighting with the 14th New York Volunteer Calvary Regiment. If he had foreseen AOC he would have changed sides, along with his brother who served in the same Regiment.

“To ‘pull up’ on Urban Dictionary means to arrive at a location. It is often an invitation to come over or show up to a social gathering. Depending on the context, it can also mean to show up for a confrontation”

I’m looking into moving from Californicated Colorado to Huntsville, due to obvious state infection from those who failed economics, civics, math, and logic. When I get there, I will treat ‘damn leftists’ as they thoroughly deserve.

Bring it, bitch.

In our area of TN, there are two parallel roads, with homes and people who are what I’d call “normal”.

They’re about one mile apart. There are roads along the way that connect them that is Deliverance territory. Before we got TN license plates on the cars, we wouldn’t drive those roads. In fact, we still won’t. We respect the situation. But I sure would buy tickets to see what might happen if AOC were to “pull up” to those areas.

I really don’t know what that means, but in the south that is a good way to possibly get shot.
