Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) faced criticism after falsely claiming a large gathering in Puerto Rico was a rally against corruption and for the ‘Alianza movement.’ The event was actually a festival organized by anti-colonial parties, prompting accusations of misleading social media users and using the event for her own political agenda.
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez played Madden NFL on Twitch, using the platform to discuss political issues like Social Security and the treatment of working-class communities. Their reaction to a derogatory comment about Puerto Rico by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe highlighted the importance of engaging young male voters on platforms like Twitch.
