The other day, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attempted to mock a Fox News reporter for listening to a border agent’s safety precautions and putting on a bullet proof vest while reporting at the southern border.

Does “live from the border” mean Party City?
Fox is really out here doing the most on a budget to make the border look more dangerous than it is 😂

Easy. The agent standing right in front of me RIGHT NOW said, “when you’re with me I’m responsible for your safety. So you’re putting on a vest.” https://t.co/hHbxZc5EML

As we’ve said before, there is a crisis on the border. It’s time to stop playing politics, but AOC is clearly incapable of doing that.
Hold on to that thought.
AOC has been facing a ton of backlash for putting on a horrific “blaccent” during a speech at an Al Sharpton event.
Ocasio-Cortez speaks in an accent that she never uses while telling a room of predominately black people that there is nothing wrong with them folding clothes, cooking, and driving other people around on a bus for a living. pic.twitter.com/FIbIAPokt0

.@AOC: "I'm proud to be a bartender. Ain't nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with working retail, folding clothes for other people to buy. There is nothing wrong with preparing the food that your neighbors will eat." pic.twitter.com/4uveYJNqVj

OMG. I’m embarrassed for her. What is she thinking?!?!?
Her excuse is almost more cringeworthy than her accent.
Folks talking about my voice can step right off. Women’s March & Kavanaugh speech, same.
Any kid who grew up in a distinct linguistic culture & had to learn to navigate class enviros at school/work knows what’s up.
My Spanish is the same way.
These conspiracy mills are 🚮. https://t.co/8li33Jd6DL

So basically you have to pretend to have a different accent depending on what group of people you’re around? Yeah, no. Normal people don’t do that.
As much as the right wants to distort & deflect, I am from the Bronx. I act & talk like it, *especially* when I’m fired up and especially when I’m home.
It is so hurtful to see how every aspect of my life is weaponized against me, yet somehow asserted as false at the same time.

PUH-LEESE. You pulled a Hillary.
Cue Lawrence Jones. He got her good.
Hey, @AOC I wore the vest because CBP told me to but, what’s your excuse for talking like this?! #WedontTalkLikeThat https://t.co/4i5qQLNbNZ

LOLOLOL!
I have literally never heard her adopt that accent before

What the hell accent is this

I guess we’ll never know.
AOC: 0
Lawrence: All the points.
