Ocasio-Cortez just whipped out her Hillary Clinton impression while speaking to a crowd at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network.
Except it wasn’t an impression. She literally changed her accent in front of the mostly black crowd just like Hillary did in the past:
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

Not to mention she suddenly sounds like a capitalist! This continues her remarks past where Saavedra cut them off:
.@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

Here’s a few responses, the first of which is LOL given recent events:
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

This might be my favorite response:
In case you’re wondering, this is what blackface sounds like. https://t.co/oQVynsDxpc

What in the f*ck!?
Miss, you need to go on a spiritual journey and figure out who you are in life. This accent is too much. Get help immediately, I’m concerned, and a bit scared. @AOC https://t.co/90bAl4nAf7

Not sure where the accent came from but I’m all about her argument for capitalism and the dignity of work. https://t.co/DVspBf3cWU

Is this cultural appropriation? 🤔 https://t.co/DLQZvqiHCT

“If I could work in a restaurant and become a member of the United States Congress, so can you.”
She legitimately defeats half of her own taking points in that sentence. https://t.co/u3v0iZwPid
