Just last week, critics wanted to expose the US Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with the release of a dance video from her studies. That went awry, the video brought the Democrat many sympathies. Now, the conservative news site "Daily Caller" spreads a photo that allegedly shows the 29-year-old.
The shot shows the feet of a woman in a bathtub. Originally it was distributed via the community site Reddit. Meanwhile it became known whose feet the picture shows: that of the political activist Sydney Leathers, which has confirmed that on Twitter.
Hey @AOC, I'm sorry creeps are trying to pretend my pics are actually pics of you. Happy to clear that up. (& Tbh I'd take the blame for things https://t.co/f3HW0eUzPe

For those out of the loop, Republicans began to circulate a fake nude photo of me. The @DailyCaller reposted it (!) And refused to give it a fake in the title as well.
Completely disgusting behavior from conservative outlets.
No wonder they are defended Kavanaugh so fiercely.
She writes that the dissemination of the photo was only a matter of time, that the Conservatives had been foaming all week. "Completely disgusting behavior" of conservative media is that, states Ocasio-Cortez. "No wonder they defended Kavanaugh so fiercely." Brett Kavanaugh was appointed a judge on the US Supreme Court, even though three women accused him of sexual assault, in one case rape.
The MP also criticized the British tabloid Daily Mail. A reporter from the newspaper bothered the relatives of the friend of Ocasio-Cortez and offer them money for stories about the politician. The 29-year-old took the opportunity to draw attention to the unequal treatment of men and women: The view of women was much more critical.
