New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is the latest Democrat to debut an awkward new dramatic southern accent when giving her speech during the first day of the Democratic National Convention.

“I, for one, am tired of hearing about how a two-bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every single day to lift working people from under the botts of greed, trampling on our way of life,” AOC proclaimed, as she wagged her finger for added dramatic effect.
The fake southern accent came over Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) during her seven minute speech at the DNC which drew backlash on social media, as people commented on Ocasio-Cortez’s performance.
“AOC busted out her fake accent tonight… This is just… bizarre,” one user wrote on X.
“AOC uses the ‘fake’ Hillary Clinton & Kamala Harris southern Black accent!” another user commented.
The southern accent has been conjured up by many Democrats in the past in an attempt to pander to southern voters.
Recently on the campaign trail, Vice President Kamala Harris has also adopted a southern accent for a speech in Atlanta.
“And you all helped us win in 2020, and we gon’ win in 2024,” Harris stated in a southern drawl.
AOC’s speech was one of many which helped kick off the first day of the four day DNC event. It is set to include speeches from former President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
