On Friday, a newly surfaced poll indicated growing unfavorability among both Democrats and Republicans in regards to Democrat-Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Ocasio-Cortez, who appeared to be in denial over the results, attempted to shift blame on Fox News for why her favorability is dropping.
AOC retweeted information from the poll that was shared by a Twitter user who claimed that Republicans haven’t heard enough about AOC to form an opinion.
Ocasio-Cortez said in a reply, “It’s almost as though there is a directed + concerted far-right propaganda machine with a whole cable news channel, and a dark-money internet operation propped up by the Mercers et al dedicated to maligning me & stoking nat’l division, reported on by @JaneMayerNYer or something.”

Sean Hannity took a moment to address the tweet by Ocasio-Cortez during his Friday night program.
Hannity flashed AOC’s tweet on the screen and initially replied that she’s right that Fox doesn’t tout and defend her ‘radical socialist views’ unlike other networks who praise her 24/7.
Instead, Hannity says Ocasio-Cortez is spending time blaming Fox for her unfavorability because they expose her views and what all is constituted in her endorsed Green New Deal.
He said, “You know abolishing oil, gas, fossil fuels. Let’s see…oh, and the combustion engine. And getting rid of planes and cows. You know, destroy the economy, basically.” Video Below
