Freshman Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) laid into Fox News in a series of Twitter messages on March 20, criticizing the channel’s opinion hosts for not using her full name, but evidence surfaced later to challenge her claims.
Ocasio-Cortez accused Fox News opinion hosts Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Tucker Carlson of referring to her only as “Cortez” instead of “Ocasio-Cortez” and suggested that the hosts are intentionally stereotyping her.
