AOC rallies for Tennessee Congressional Candidate Justin Pearson

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sent people scratching their heads when she spoke in Ebonics at a rally for black Tennessee Congressional Candidate Justin Pearson. 

Many were quick to point out AOC’s strange accent.

AOC is Hispanic and Puerto Rican, but instead of staying in her own lane and leaning into her actual cultural roots, she embraced trans ideology and turned herself into a black woman for the rally in the South.

Isn’t that called cultural appropriation?

During the speech, she referenced a rally she attended in Montgomery, Alabama, earlier this year with Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), whom she called “Sista Presley,” telling New Yorkers to “pull up” to the South to help fight Republicans.

Notably, during her May speech in Montgomery, AOC did not appear to have this same accent. Perhaps she’s been working on it.

WATCH:

AOC: Brothers and sisters, we cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind. We cannot afford to leave Kentucky behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, Georgia behind, South Carolina behind! There is no country when we are split apart. About a month or two ago, we’re in Montgomery, Alabama.

Sista 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. It is long past time that we help our brothers and sisters wake up too. We saw this when Justin demanded action on gun violence, and the Republicans responded by expelling him from office.

This isn’t the first time. Back in April 2025, AOC used a similar Kamala Harris-like accent while speaking at a “Fighting Oligarchy” rally with Sen. Bernie Sanders in Nampa, Idaho.
