Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended using the word “Latinx” to describe Hispanic men and women over the weekend and slammed her Democratic colleagues who she said “rail against” it — despite polling data indicating most Hispanics don’t use the term or virulently object to it. “In the spirit of pride, I wanted to have a note on gender inclusivity in the Spanish language,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said in a video posted to her Instagram story. “People sometimes like to make a lot of drama over the term ‘Latinx.’ But even before ‘Latinx,’ people were trying to do this, like, use an at [@ symbol] to have the ‘A’ and the ‘O’ [in ‘Latino’ and ‘Latina’] together.”“Gender is fluid, language is fluid,” Ocasio-Cortez went on. “[You] don’t have to make drama over it.”
