BoycottABC trends after network plays ad showing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez photo on fire during Democratic debate
The hashtag #BoycottABC was trending on Twitter after the network aired a political advert featuring a burning photo of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during the Democratic debate on Thursday night. Many Twitter users were outraged by the advert.
"Does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez know the horror of socialism? My father was minutes from death in Cambodia before a forced marriage saved his life. That's socialism: Forced obedience, starvation," Heng says, showing images of life under the communist regime. Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described democratic socialist, hit back on Twitter after the ad ran."Republicans are running TV ads setting pictures of me on fire to convince people they aren't racist. Life is weird!" she tweeted.
Heng responded:"Not Republicans. Me. Are you really calling me a racist @aoc? I'm calling all Democrats out for supporting an evil ideology. Or are you just in Congress to hang out with celebrities and tweet out ridiculous ideas like the green new deal?"
