On Friday, Carlson (52) discussed a book about Ocasio-Cortez (32), written by journalist Lisa Miller at New York Magazine, on his program «Tucker Carlson Tonight»writes The Guardian.
Carlson thinks it is “fun” to hear Ocasio-Cortez refer to himself as “a woman of color”.
– She does it often. No one dares to challenge that description, but any honest person knows that it is ridiculously absurd. There is no place on earth, other than American colleges and newsrooms, that “Sandy Cortez” (Carson’s nickname for Ocasio-Cortez journ.anm.) Will be recognized as such. Because she is not, he says.
Carlson believes Ocasio-Cortez is a “rich, legitimate, white woman.”
DON’T FAN: Tucker Carlson, one of America’s foremost right-wing media voices, is the host of Fox News. He is obviously not a fan of the “AOC”, which describes itself as a democratic socialist. Photo: AP Photo / Richard Drew / NTB

Attack by colleague: – Abuse
Strikes back
Ocasio-Cortez rages against Carlson on Twitter.
– These are the kind of things you say when your name starts with a P and ends with dejo.
She refers to the Spanish word pendejo, meaning idiot.
“AOC”, who is of Latin American descent, was born and raised in the Bronx. Mother Blanca was born and raised in Puerto Rico, while father Sergio was born in the Bronx, New York.
Ocasio-Cortez is a graduate of prestigious Boston University, but worked as a bartender when she managed to oust one of the most powerful Democrats in the House of Representatives, Joe Crowley, during the 2018 primary.
Now she is a very famous and much talked about democrat, with millions of followers on social media.

Admits: – I’m lying
Accused of harassment
The Democrat also accuses the Fox News profile of sexual harassment, calling him “disgusting.”
Ocasio-Cortez openly asks on Twitter why Carlson is allowed – and paid for – “to engage in targeted, defamatory harassment that puts people at risk and causes so many violent threats that people have to raise money for their own safety.”
– Once again, the fact that a wife or daughters exist does not mean that a man is good. And this is a “basura”, she says.
So she calls Carlson rubbish.
“AOC” believes Carlson’s comments are not within the scope of political comments.
