Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was accused of putting on an accent during a Memphis rally last week, with critics on social media comparing her to former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Ocasio-Cortez was speaking at a campaign rally in Memphis on Friday for progressive U.S. House candidate Justin Pearson, who currently serves as a Tennessee state representative.
"We cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind," she said. "We cannot afford to leave Kentucky behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, Georgia behind, South Carolina behind. There is no country where we are split apart."
"About a month or two ago, we were in Montgomery, Alabama — Sister [Rep. Ayanna] Pressley and I were in Montgomery, Alabama, and one of the things that we said was that it is time for the North to roll up to the South," Ocasio-Cortez continued.
Critics online singled out this part of her speech, saying she put on a "fake accent."
"AOC, from the ‘Bronx’ sounding like a southern Baptist preacher while in Memphis," actor Michael Rapaport, who has said he’ll run for the New York City mayor’s office in 2029, posted on social media.
"Hillary Clinton developed an accent. Kamala Harris developed an accent. AOC is developing an accent. It’s all patronizing," conservative communications strategist Steve Guest posted on social media.
"Rep. AOC just got busted putting on a FAKE ACCENT for a predominantly black audience. She's seriously going full Kamala for 2028," another user wrote, referencing a potential presidential bid.
Harris was repeatedly accused of altering her accent depending on the group of people she's speaking to.
In 2024, Harris was slammed for using what critics called a fake Southern accent while speaking at a rally in Atlanta in July 2024, and again during a Labor Day rally in Detroit that year.

The donkey on the farm goes hee-haw, hee-haw.
Maybe the same persona coach.
It just shows how little respect they have for the people of the US - particularly those who are citizens.
Speaking of behinds, AOC, yours was rode hard and put away wet. Oh, wait, that is a horse comment. My bad.
It tires me that a US House Rep (any party) from an out of state district goes to other states to campaign for someone. Same for senators from another state telling people in other states how to vote. Also raising money for them. It is not your state or district. Borderlines on unethical if not illegal in my opinion.
Is this Drug addict going to confronted by the GOP
about her Ketamine issue ?
Is the Tip stealer very Mentally Ill .
Ketamine is used for serious mental illness.
That person should not be in Congress.
Where is the weasel GOP Head demanding answers ?
Is the GOP demand the Lefty wing Media to investigate it .
Has Man Face at CNN with her 9 M Nantucket home asked her a single QUESTION about this serious matter?
I can only imagine the ethnicity of her speech writer, and what YouTube video clips they watched to practice the accent.
"Well, I could've been an actress, but I wound up here..."
I’d like to hear her Indian accent when she’s in Silicon Valley!!
These commies dont have a rational thought in their head, they also stand for NOTHING so they have to invent personas for themselves since they are empty shells
Lawdee!
“pResident Jackass”
I should have said “Sistah.”
Dems are such artificial shills.
She’ll “do the needful.”
