Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., had a highly scrutinized moment during Wednesday night’s CNN town hall with Bernie Sanders, when the congresswoman addressed why she believes Republicans are more successful in gaining support among young men.
“They are capable of radicalizing, targeting and exploiting a generation of young men, in particular, away from a healthy masculinity and toward an insecure masculinity that requires the dominance of others, who are poorer, darker, darker or of a different gender than them,” Ocasio-Cortez responded, sparking violent reactions on social media.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Alabama, an SEC championship-winning football coach who coached at the high school and college level for 40 years, responded to Pak Gazette Digital when asked for his reaction to Ocasio-Cortez’s statement.

“When I was a coach, I taught my players that this is the best country in the world and that if you work hard, the sky is the limit of what you can achieve, no matter what you look like. Unfortunately, woke Democrats have spent the last 20 years telling young men that they are ‘racist,’ ‘sexist’ and ‘toxic’ simply for being men,” Tuberville said.
“But it didn’t stop there: Democrats tried to prevent men from getting jobs just because of the color of their skin, and they also tried to baselessly cancel them during the ‘Me Too’ movement. No wonder more than half of the young people in this country voted for President Trump in the 2024 election. If Democrats don’t stop demonizing men, they may never win an election again.”
Tuberville, considered a male leader during his coaching career, helped guide several successful college football and NFL players. Those players include quarterback Jason Campbell, running backs Carnell Williams and Ronnie Brown, and cornerback Carlos Rodgers.
DEMOCRATIC PARTY STRUGGLES TO FIX IMAGE WHILE MEMBERS RECOGNIZE THAT THE PARTY HAS LOST CREDIBILITY
A September report from Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) found that multiple indicators “point to substantial Republican gains among Generation Z,” noting particularly that Democratic registration among young men dropped significantly compared to young women. The report found that Democratic registration among young whites, historically around 49%, fell to 29%.
A Pak Gazette voter analysis for the 2024 election found that 55% of men voted for President Donald Trump, and 53% of men ages 18 to 44 voted for Trump, while 57% of men over 44 also voted for Trump.
The Associated Press found that more than half of male voters under age 30 voted for Trump over former Vice President Kamala Harris (including about six in 10 white male voters who supported Trump); About a third of black male voters supported Trump, as did about 50% of young Latino male voters. Trump’s support among young Black and Latino voters increased about 20% compared to his support in 2020, the AP reported.
democrats are spending $20 million on a study examining how to talk to “American men” after losing ground with the demographic during the 2024 election cycle, The New York Times revealed in May.
The project, titled “American Men: A Strategic Plan,” will “study the syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces” from male voters.
