AOC Screams Racism, Falsely Claims Fox News Hosts Are Calling Her Cortez
Another day, another cry of victimhood from the perpetually aggrieved Rep. Ocasio-Cortez. I mean, nothing says oppression like a vapid bartender becoming a Congressional member overnight. This country is awful, right?
The latest comes from her Twitter feed, because where else?
By the way: Fox News likes to say my name (incorrectly) as “Cortez,” which I can only imagine is bc that sounds more ‘stereotypically’ Hispanic + probably incites more ‘anxiety’ for them.
Pro Tip:
My last name is not “Cortez,” just as theirs isn’t “Ingra” or “Carl” or “Hann.”— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 21, 2019
She provides no examples of Hannity, Ingraham, or Carlson doing this. So is it true? Of course, it’s not.
Tom Elliot did a word search of the transcripts and gives us the facts.
Just checked @seanhannity, whom she also accuses of this ostensible hate crime. Like Laura, Hannity did not refer to @AOC as “Cortez” once in the month of March (I checked every show). She’s mentioned 20x in one episode, but every time correctly.

Not once.
The only example is a single guest who wasn’t even trying to use her name in a proper form. The Fox News primetime hosts may be partisans, but they aren’t racists. What likely happened here is that AOC saw this claim from some random poster and she ran with it because she knows her fans will eat it up.
In reality, there is only one person who’s obsessed with AOC’s race.
The only person I’ve noticed who obsesses over AOC being Hispanic is AOC herself. It’s a constant topic. Conservative media generally focus on her overzealous Green New Deal, her sketchy campaign finance issues, and her frequent hypocrisy.

Objectively, nothing about Ocasio-Cortez’s race has held her back. In fact, if she weren’t Latino and a mildly attractive female, there’s no chance she’d have won her primary against the sitting incumbent given the circumstances. She also would not be garnering the constant media coverage she gets and benefits from.
Victimhood culture in 2019 is an odd phenomenon. When you are literally having to make up instances of oppression, perhaps you aren’t quite the victim you think you are. More and more, these instances resemble spoiled partisans complaining of first world problems instead of actual cases of prejudice.
There’s also the fact that the name Ocasio is equally Hispanic, so none of this makes any sense anyway.
Cortez: ‘stereotypically’ Hispanic
Ocasio: Basically the Mayflower https://t.co/mFFM9C9lwo— Michael Malice (@michaelmalice) March 21, 2019
