In August 2021, a video of Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez putting on a face mask on the steps of the US Capitol went viral. You might be surprised to hear that what was then such a common sight would draw much attention, but the problem was that Ocasio-Cortez had been filmed happily chatting to a large group of people without a mask on until it was time to pose for a picture. “Of course!” the conservative media outlet Breitbart tweeted, gleefully, along with the video.
2021年8月,一段民主党国会议员亚历山德里娅•奥卡西奥-科尔特斯(Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez)在美国国会大厦台阶上戴口罩的视频走红。你可能会惊讶于这样一个当时司空见惯的场景会引起如此多的关注,但问题在于,奥卡西奥-科尔特斯在拍照前一直在没有戴口罩的情况下愉快地与一大群人交谈。保守派媒体布赖特巴特(Breitbart)在推特上兴奋地写道:“当然!”,并附上了这段视频。
