Well now you did it, you guys. While AOC was sitting there innocently trying to take over the entire country to ban your hamberders and airplane travel so we could live in low-emission shanty-towns, some mean people on twitter hurt her feelings.
But before she cried crocodile tears over her hurt feelins’, she went on the attack:
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.

There’s that “Bronx toughness” everyone loves, that toughness she cultivated in… private school in the suburbs. Anyway after that she started crying, because everyone loves a little manic hysteria in our public officials:
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.

STEP right the eff off because you’re hurting my feelings!! OK then. I think maybe the criticism might have been a little too on the mark. IN any case, I don’t think it’s worthwhile to exaggerate this too much – the people at NAN, where she was speaking, seemed to love her little commie speech. And there’s a reason Dems get 95% of the vote, so I’m not sure this is the best GOTV strategy for the right. But it sure is funny, anyway.

OK, fine. One more, here, enjoy.
