Fox News host Sean Hannity labeled 'misogynist' after he claims AOC is 'pissed' over Joe Biden's border wall decision
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: President Joe Biden made the headlines on Thursday after he defended his administration’s decision to waive 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow for the construction of roughly 20 miles of additional border wall, as reported by AP News.
The report also stated that Biden said, “He had no choice but to use the Trump-era funding for the barrier to stop illegal migration from Mexico.”
Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, more popularly known as AOC, responded to the entire situation and urged the Biden administration to “reserve decision on border wall” in an official statement.
Fox News anchor Sean Hannity also reported on Ocasio-Cortez’s statement, claiming she was “pissed” over Biden’s decision.

“Sean doesn’t like AOC because she’s a strong independent woman who’s not a blonde like his coworkers at Fox. And let’s remember- he’s not a journalist due to him dropping out of college after a year. So who’s the lying non-qualified person? Not her,” wrote one user.
