New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continued to defend herself against claims promoted by Donald Trump, Jr. and others that she changes her accent to pander to minority audiences.
The congresswoman, who has been praised and scorned for her use of social media to reach and inform voters, further suggested that failing to switch to secondary speech patterns could come at a cost to multi-lingual people. “As much as the right wants to distort and deflect, I am from the Bronx,” she wrote on Friday after the reports first began to pick up steam. “I act and 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.”

If you want to use a specific accent, use it consistently. Switching does not make you in tune with your audience: it makes you a poser, or a manipulator. I do not switch to a Welsh accent in everyday speech, or a surfer drawl, but Wales and the California beach are my roots.
