Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Representative from New York, is making headlines yet again. This time it has nothing to do with her views on Socialism or her ambitious Green New Deal. Instead, the controversy surrounds her latest "brain fart" which appears to have confused her on the difference between right and left-handedness.
While speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Ocasio-Cortez accidently said that right-handed people should use their left hand to demonstrate the fallacy of a conservative viewpoint that she was trying to dispute. After a long pause and an awkward silence, the congresswoman quickly corrected herself, but the mistake has already sent social media into a frenzy. Her constituents have been quick to come to her defense, citing that everyone is entitled to moments of confusion. It seems, however, she will never be able to get away from another moment of embarrassment.
