We need to talk about the horrifying reality of that viral Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez photo
A group of high school students pretended to choke a cardboard figure of the Congresswoman at a picnic for Republican senator Mitch McConnell. A spokesperson tried to pass the antics off as ‘friendly’ banter. But the reality is far more horrifying. ” and their harmless banter. Have you heard that line before? It’s one that is often doled out to women whenever they dare to raise their voice against the shrieking din of misogyny..
Ocasio-Cortez immediately sought out McConnell, tweeting him: “Hey, these young men look like they work for you. Just wanted to clarify: are you paying for young men to practice groping and choking members of Congress w/ your payroll, or is this just the standard culture of #TeamMitch?”to Ocasio-Cortez that the men in question were not campaign staff and they were merely “high schoolers”.
“It’s incredible that the national media has sought to once again paint a target on their backs rather than report real, and significant news in our country,” Golden said. . But imagery like this, of young men choking the image of a woman, isn’t harmless – it’s horrifying.
