Geraldo Rivera Claps Back at Tucker Carlson's Claim AOC Isn't a Woman of Color: 'Mere Provocation'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Geraldo Rivera blasted fellow Fox News host Tucker Carlson for stating that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not a woman of color last week in an episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

“To be clear Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is a proud woman of color,” the former TV host and political commentator tweeted on Tuesday morning. “To claim otherwise is mere provocation.”

Carlson attacked the Democratic congresswoman, who he has nicknamed “Sandy Cortez,” in a long segment Friday revolving around the release of the upcoming book “Take Up Space: The Unprecedented AOC.”

He then aired a clip from her Instagram in which she gives followers a makeup tutorial. At one point, she refers to herself as a woman of color (Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx to a Puerto Rican family), prompting Carlson to claim otherwise.
