If people haven’t figured out that AOC is a political hack, I am not sure what will change their minds. Maybe this video? Channeling her inner Hillary Clinton circa 2007, AOC got in front of a black audience at a recent speaking appearance for Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and went full preacher mode, replete with the drawl, twang, and unmistakable cadence of someone decidedly not New York Puertorican.
There are no words. Just watch:
I’m proud to be a bartender. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. There’s nothing wrong with working retail folding clothes for other people to buy. There is nothing wrong with preparing the food that your neighbors will eat. There is nothing wrong with driving the buses that take your family to work. There is nothing wrong with being a working person in the United States of America. And there is everything dignified about it.
Amazingly, after suffering through thirty seconds of this drivel it’s hard to tell what’s worse: Her horrible impression of a black baptist minister or the ideas she presented. Who ever said working retail or bartending or preparing food was beneath someone’s station?

And as mentioned, this episode harkens all to easily to the outlandish performance by perennial presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2007, who was competing for the black vote against Barack Obama in the Democrat primaries. That led to this moment:
