Adam Carolla Says Nobody Would Listen to AOC if She Was 'Fat and in Her Sixties'

A video clip of radio personality Adam Carolla claiming Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would not be listened to if she was fat and old has gone viral.

Carolla made these comments while speaking on Sean Hannity's show on Wednesday, and a clip of it has been viewed over 350,000 times on Twitter.

Carolla and host Hannity were discussing the latest controversy surrounding The View host Whoopi Goldberg, who was recently suspended from the show after she claimed the Holocaust was not about race.

AOC defended Goldberg while speaking to TMZ and said a suspension was not necessary, a sentiment Hannity agreed with, if the Jewish community had accepted Goldberg's apology.

Discussing these latest comments, Carolla said it was a hypercritical stance from AOC, however.

He said this was because she did not come to the defense of other talk show hosts who have faced backlash or suspensions for their comments.

He then went on to comment on Occasio-Cortez's appearance and the reason, he believes, she is given attention in the media.

"If AOC was fat and in her 60s, would anyone listen to another thing she ever said?" Carolla said.

Hannity responded by saying "oh boy, you are going to step in that one." He then asked Carolla to clarify what he meant by this.

"She is young, she is vibrant and she is beautiful and everyone is always putting a camera or a mic in her face," he replied.

"Her opinions are idiotic 95 percent of the time, and I don't think if she was a middle-aged, heavy-set woman, anyone would care what she had to say."

Hannity said he did not agree with Carolla's conclusion. He went on to say that it is fine to criticize her ideas as he does this all the time. But he also said AOC "has got the whole Democratic party following her."

He added: "In my opinion, she is way more powerful than Speaker Pelosi, if she and the squad decide Speaker Pelosi is out I think she could probably be Speaker."

Newsweek has contacted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's office for comment.

This comes after AOC accused Republicans of having a fixation on her and said they were sexually frustrated with not being able to date her.

This was in response to criticism she had received from former Donald Trump campaign adviser Steve Cortes for dining in Miami with her boyfriend.

On December 31, 2021, he tweeted a picture of Ocasio-Cortez and her boyfriend out in Miami.

"1) If Leftists like AOC actually thought mandates and masking worked, they wouldn't be frolicking in free FL. 2) Her guy is showing his gross pale male feet in public (not at a pool/beach) with hideous sandals. 0 for 2,"he captioned the tweet.

Ocasio-Cortez addressed the tweet and suggested those obsessing over her needed therapy.

If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet.

"If Republicans are mad they can't date me they can just say that, instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend's feet," she tweeted in response.

"It's starting to get old ignoring the very obvious, strange, and deranged sexual frustrations that underpin the Republican fixation on me, women, & LGBT+ people in general," she stated in another tweet.

"These people clearly need therapy, won't do it, and use politics as their outlet instead. It's really weird."
