Video: Tomi Lahren Slams AOC Over Claim That 'Working Class' Is Code for White Men
'The Big Weekend Show' co-host takes on the New York congresswoman's argument that the term 'working class' is a euphemism for race and gender.
Tomi Lahren is taking aim at a claim by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about what "working class" really means.
This post summarizes a clip that runs 1 minute 45 seconds. We relied on Fox News's published title and description, not a transcript, so the details here are limited to what the network says about it.
According to Fox, "The Big Weekend Show" co-host Lahren slams AOC, D-N.Y., for claiming that the term "working class" is a euphemism for race and gender. The description does not include direct quotes from either woman, and we are not adding any.
For context, Fox's own news report from the same weekend covers Ocasio-Cortez appearing in an MS NOW special with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., where she said the gap between rich and working-class Americans is growing and that class has become a bigger factor in politics. Fox's separate video listing of AOC's comments says she "tries to redefine" the term. We have not seen the clip of what she said about race and gender, so we cannot judge how Lahren's summary matches it.
Two limits to note. First, this is a commentator's take, not a news report. Second, the network's description does not say whether Ocasio-Cortez or her office responded.
