AOC : Cortez is Someone Else
Timothy Birdnow
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez aka Ally McSteal, aka the (A)OC, aka Occluded or Occasional Cortex, has flipped her horsehair wig over criticisms of her name.
Specifically, she is hissing at Laura Ingraham, whose guest Joe diGenova said the AOC "does that Latina thing" in the way she says her name.
From the U.K. Daily Mail:
America's sweet-tart got her panties in a bunch:
Well nobody referred to George Bush Sr. As George Herbett Walker-Bush, darling. Hyphenated names are unwieldy, and can become ridiculous.
I suspect the freshman Congreswoman doesn't want to use Cortez because,well, he's a despised old white guy who bested the natives in Mexico, and she doesn't want to be associated with an oppressor (to whom she may well be related.) And she wants to adopt a latino custom, even though she she was born in the United States (although she despises her own country as bad as any Soviet spy back during the Cold War.) Oh, and if she's hyphenating, why is she not hyphenating in the American fashion with her mother's maiden name first? This woman has a serious chip on her shoulder.
AOC's Wikipedia page shows no hyphen in her father's name.
I conclude with a quote from Emerson "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". Her insistence on rigid adherence to how she says her name is indeed quite small.

From the U.K. Daily Mail:
Ingraham was speaking to conservative lawyer Joe diGenova on her Fox News program on Tuesday night when they started mocking the freshman Congresswoman for saying her name with an accent.
The host of 'The Ingraham Angle' had asked her guest if he'd noticed that Ocasio-Cortez takes on an accent when she introduces herself.
The conservative lawyer went on to mispronounce Ocasio-Cortez's first name as he used an exaggerated accent.

Ocasio-Cortez fired back on Wednesday night in a series of tweets slamming Ingraham.
'If by 'the Latina thing,' she means I actually do the work instead of just talk about it, then yeah, I'm doing 'the Latina thing.' Unless of course she's talking about being multilingual, which we know isn't a 'Latina thing.' It's a '21st century' thing,' Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
[...]
'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'.
'My last name is Ocasio-Cortez. Full stop. That's my name. No, you can't say 'Cortez.' I've never used that in my life. 'Cortez' is referring to someone else. Even if they're trying to be rude + wrong, my dad's last name was Ocasio anyway. (His name was hyphenated too, though.)
