—
Several critics blasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for using what was deemed as a “fake accent” during her speech at the Democratic National Convention Monday (August 19) night.
Conservative commenter Steve Cortes, who had previously worked on former President Donald Trump’s 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, claimed that Ocasio-Cortez, a native New Yorker, “developed a new phony accent in the middle of delivering” her speech, sharing a clip in which she specifically took aim at Trump.
