Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to run for President.
But Ocasio-Cortez has a major problem on her hands.
And Sean Hannity saw one damning video that is doomsday for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Ocasio-Cortez is trying ot burnish her political brand and collect chits ahead of an expected 2028 Presidential campaign by stumping for Democrats running for Congress across the country.
But instead, Ocasio-Cortez turned herself into a punchline when a video of her in Memphis went viral for all the wrong reasons when it showed her adopting a phony southern twang.
“We cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind,” Ocasio-Cortez ranted. “We cannot afford to leave Kentucky behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, Georgia behind, South Carolina behind.”

Podcaster Benny Johnson discussed the video with Sean Hannity on Hannity’s Fox News show and said Ocasio-Cortez was just copying the routine made famous by Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Kamala Harris, where they adopt this fake black southern accent when they campaign below the Mason-Dixon line.
“You know, I’m surprised AOC is not trying to speak in an Arabic dialect when she is in Michigan,” Johnson stated. “This is a theater kid-occupied government, Sean. We have been warning about this for a long time. It’s called live action role playing, LARPing. These people don’t know who they are or where they are; they will change their accents. It’s this change of your accent I can’t get over. Barack Obama does this; Hillary Clinton famously does this.
Johnson claimed Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez pull this routine because they don’t believe in anything.
“The fundamental difference is these people don’t believe anything,” Johnson contended. “They don’t know who they are, they don’t know where they are from, and they don’t know what they stand for. People that know who they are, they don’t have to pander. You don’t use a Chinese accent when you go to a Chinese restaurant because you know who you are and where you’re from.”
Johnson then maintained that conservatives take a different tact when campaigning.
“Conservatives have a fundamental bedrock of who we are as people, an ego, an ethos. We are Christian, we are American, we don’t have to pander, we are proud of where we are from, we are not ashamed of it. These people have to change their tune everywhere they go because they actually don’t believe in anything other than power, and power is the fundamental goal. To get power, you want to try to bring those audiences to your side, so you change your accent, and you change your affect to do that. It is very cringe,” Johnson continued.
Many conservatives disagree with Johnson’s assessment of the left, as they would argue Ocasio-Cortez, Obama, Clinton, and other Democrats who speak in these fake accents believe deeply in their socialist agenda and don these fake personas to try and come across as relatable so voters ignore the agenda they are selling.
