In a humiliating public display of her tone-deafness, leftist politico AOC reportedly pretended to have an accent for dramatic effect while speaking at a recent rally, drawing comparisons to Kamala Harris during her 2024 campaign and leaving conservatives scratching their heads.
For context, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) held a rally alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in Nampa, Idaho on April 16, 2025, reportedly drawing a crowd of over 12,000 people to the latest stop on a “Fighting Oligarchy” campaign, which targets Tesla and DOGE leader Elon Musk and the Trump Administration with emotionally charged rhetoric.
In a now-viral video filmed at the rally, AOC can be seen ranting about President Trump, with her tone getting progressively more exaggerated as she goes on. She told the crowd, “Donald Trump is a criminal who was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, liable for sexual abuse, of course, he’s lying, abusing, and manipulating the stock market too.”
Continuing, AOC attempted to tarnish President Trump’s reputation by making more personal attacks, saying, “When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror,” a statement that was met with uproarious cheers from the crowd of thousands in attendance, which one X user described as “all white people,” and noted there being “no diversity at all.”
Reacting in confusion to AOC’s strange new “accent,” conservatives sounded off on X (formerly Twitter), expressing their incredulity at this bizarre move from Ocasio-Cortez. Conservative commentator Benny Johnson wrote, “Kamala Harris just introduced yet another new accent. Sike, this is AOC. Seems to be using Kamala’s playbook. I guess she didn’t pay attention during the 2024 election.”
Similarly, the Townhall.com X account posted a clip of AOC at the Idaho rally, also noting the similarities between the congresswoman’s behavior and that of Kamala Harris. They wrote, “
AOC is pretending to have some sort of strange accent. This is exactly what Kamala Harris did on the campaign trail. Why do they do this?”
In response to Townhall.com, many more conservatives weighed in in the comments section, with the user Commonsense Conservative chiming in, “Authenticity is easy. Going back to Hillary’s insulting ‘put y’all back in chains’ moment, Democrats are just charlatans pretending to care about the American people.”

More X users made humorous observations about AOC’s antics, with one commenter adding, “That’s a Hillary accent,” and another writing, “@AOC hilarious. A true blue jackass magnet.” In one of the post’s most hilarious comments, a user simply posted a screenshot from the rally where someone in the crowd threw up a middle finger, captioning the photo “the true pic.”
