‘Listening to her makes me so grateful to have hearing loss’
By Joe Kovacs
With the New York City race for mayor reaching a fever pitch, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., went on what’s being called “an unhinged, screaming rant” Sunday while rallying for Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, who continues to lead against Independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
“This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Jews escaping the Holocaust …” AOC yelled, proffering a variety of accents.
“Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow. Latinos seeking a better life! Native peoples standing for themselves!”
Her screams into the microphone became so loud, they actually overmodulated and distorted the audio as she concluded: “Asian-Americans coming together in Queens! In Brooklyn! In the Bronx! In Manhattan! In Staten Island! In this country, in a vision to build the freest, toughest, and greatest city on earth!”

AOC added: “We must remember in a time such as this, we are not the crazy ones, New York City. We are not the outlandish ones, New York City. They want us to think we are crazy. We are sane!”
Journalist Benny Johnson reacted to AOC, saying: “New York is cooked.”
Cristina Laila at the Gateway Pundit noted “AOC’s meltdown was reminiscent of Howard Dean’s ‘Dean Scream Speech’ that ended his career during the 2004 Iowa caucuses.”
Others commented:
“BREAKING: AOC Mistakes Campaign Rally for Exorcism; Audience Unsure Who’s Possessed.”
“She sounds like a Disney villain losing her mind screaming like that.”
“Listening to her makes me so grateful to have hearing loss.”
“It may sound funny, but I don’t think we should underestimate AOC. She is dumber than a box of Q-tips, but she has a charisma that gets certain people fired up.”
“New York is about to get what the majority of New Yorkers deserve. Sane New Yorkers need to either move away or invest in barrels of personal lubricant.”
