Rob Finnerty’s commentary on the Democrats’ fascination with accent trends brings a striking dose of humor and directness to a complex social issue. His observations focus on the media’s odd practice of adopting exaggerated Spanish accents when pronouncing names, a habit he argues lacks justification. During a recent segment on Newsmax, Finnerty reflected on an event featuring Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as she rallied for a mayoral candidate.

Accusations of hypocrisy often serve as a potent indicator of deeper issues at play within the political landscape. Recent events during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing highlight this dynamic vividly.

Knowles emphasized, “Senator Booker, I think, should practice what he preaches,”…
