Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has fired back at conservative critics who accused her of adopting a faux “Southern drawl” for her speech at Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention in New York on Friday.

Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that “folks talking about my voice can step right off.”

“Any kid who grew up in a distinct linguistic culture & had to learn to navigate class enviros at school/work knows what’s up,” she added. “My Spanish is the same way.”

“I’m proud to be a bartender. Ain’t nothing wrong with that,” she said.

She's a very accented bartender, Jim.

Somebody needs to do a video comparing her normal accent when using “Like” 100 times in her normal rants

Problem with that AOC is that you did NOT grow up in a diverse community. You grew up in an upper middle class white community. The lies continue.

Apparently her bartending experience did not enlighten her about people who miss represent themselves with faked accents. Unless of course, she was the one always faking it.

Alexandria communicates best with Interpretive Dance.

“What’s all that jumping and crouching she’s doing mean, Bob?”

“Well, she’s showing human suffering or she thinks she’s a chicken again.”

My question for those who monitor the Left over at Huffington Post is, Do most Huffies like AOC or are they embarrassed by her???

“”Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that “folks talking about my voice can step right off.””

This is a person who definitely has a lot to say or says a lot and nothing she says makes any sense. She’s as sick as that creepy gal who has made tons of money after her appearance on Dr. Phil who speaks words that no one but street hustlers understand: “cash me outside. how ‘bout dat?”

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=girl+from+dr.+phil+show+see+you+outside&view=detail&mid=828C15D3D9A185BE0D30828C15D3D9A185BE0D30&FORM=VIRE

Haven’t a clue what “step right off” means but it’s probably preferable to what we hear so much of today from people in the limelight. She’s an annoying fool and has a VOICE that matches.

What a condescending jerk. So she’s implying that she “picked up” this black accent because otherwise the black kids at her school wouldn’t understand her? Shows what she think of them.

Media claimed she was code switching..never heard of the term.... but aOC blew that excuse up when she claimed it’s her normal pattern.
