Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, has sparked a lot of buzz with her new “accent,” which she has displayed on her “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont.
Taking a page out of the playbooks of Democrat heavy hitters like Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, it appears that AOC has developed a new accent while on the road with Sanders. During her speech raging against President Donald Trump, X users couldn’t help but notice the weird thing she was doing with her voice.
Watch:
Oh look, AOC is doing the interchangeable accents to fit the demographic she’s in front of.

Many users questioned where AOC’s new affect had come from, while others drew parallels between her speech and other “code-switching” Democrats:
Code switching. Her and her pal Jasmine are guilty of the same thing.

Sort of a Obama-Shapiro-Crockett mash. I do miss the days when she hip hopped with the alarm puller.
