Fake nudes: Ocasio-Cortez slams right wing ‘frothing’ after naked picture hoax
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has slammed “disgusting” Conservative media for publishing a fake naked image of her in a stinging rebuke of Republican efforts to smear her. She also took aim at the Daily Mail.
The Daily Caller, owned by Fox News host Tucker Carlson, published what it said was being described as a “nude selfie” of the Democratic congresswoman on Monday.

Ocasio-Cortez responded to the false photo story on Twitter, accusing Republicans of “losing their mind + frothing at the mouth all week,” and said the naked picture hoax was “just a matter of time.”
GOP have been losing their mind + frothing at the mouth all week, so this was just a matter of time.There is also a Daily Mail reporter (Ruth Styles) going to my boyfriend’s relative’s homes+offering them cash for “stories.”Women in leadership face more scrutiny. Period. https://t.co/KuHJ75sdMg

The New York congresswoman also called out Daily Mail reporter Ruth Styles for visiting her boyfriend’s family and offering “cash for ‘stories.’”
For those out of the loop, Republicans began to circulate a fake nude photo of me. The @DailyCaller reposted it (!) and refused to indicate it was fake in the title as well.Completely disgusting behavior from Conservative outlets.No wonder they defended Kavanaugh so fiercely.

The nude ‘selfie’ is the latest effort to undermine “America’s favourite commie” Ocasio-Cortez, whose identification as a democratic socialist alarms elements of the Republican party.
A video of her dancing in college, shared in an apparent bid to embarrass her, backfired spectacularly when she became an instant meme and was instead celebrated for being relatable.
