Fox News hosts accused Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) of hypocrisy on Friday for complaining about a far-right troll sexually harassing her. The congresswoman engaged in a double standard because she supports abortion-rights protests against Supreme Court justices.
In attempting a gotcha moment with AOC, the Fox personalities downplayed the cat-calling that she was subjected to this week, describing it as merely “free speech” and protesting “with humor.”
Ocasio-Cortez shared a video on Wednesday of right-wing provocateur Alex Stein making derogatory comments about her on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Stein has recently made a name for himself in conservative circles thanks to his trollish behavior, joining with other extremists to accost “RINO” congressmen and attack drag events. In fact, his shameless antics have impressed Fox News star Tucker Carlson, who has repeatedly hosted Stein on his program.
