The politician made the accusation after the anchor suggested she is not a “woman of color”
Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) added another chapter to their long-running feud on Friday, this time engaging in verbal fisticuffs over whether the progressive lawmaker is a person of color — and culminating in her accusing him of sexual harassment.
The latest bout was prompted by the conservative host’s comments on his ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ show where he took issue with the congresswoman referring to herself as a “woman of color”When giving a make-up tutorial, brand her as “a…” “rich entitled white lady” instead.
Terming Ocasio-Cortez’s self-description as “hilariously absurd,”Carlson protested that “no one ever dares to challenge”This is the concept. “There is no place on Earth outside of American colleges and newsrooms where Sandy Cortez would be recognized as a ‘woman of color,’ because she’s not,”He added that he was referring to her nickname from high school.
Ocasio-Cortez responded, her mother being from Puerto Rico. tweetedThis was “the type of stuff you say when your name starts with a P and ends with dejo” — an apparent reference to the derogatory Spanish term ‘pendejo’, which means ‘a*****e’ or ‘idiot’.
