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 talked about why she believed Republicans were having more success winning support among young men.
“They are able to radicalize and target and exploit a generation of young boys, especially away from healthy masculinity, and into an insecure masculinity that requires the dominance of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them,” Ocasio-Cortez responded, drawing backlash on social media.
Late. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., an SEC championship-winning football coach who coached at the high school and collegiate level for 40 years, responded on Pakinomist Digital when asked about his reaction to Ocasio-Cortez’s statement.

“When I coached, I taught my players that this is the greatest country in the world and if you work hard, the sky’s the limit to what you can achieve – no matter what you look like. Unfortunately, vigilante Democrats have spent the last 20 years telling young men that they are ‘racist’, ‘sexist’ and ‘toxic’ simply for being men,” said Tuberville.
“But it didn’t stop there – the Democrats tried to prevent men from getting jobs just because of the color of their skin and also tried to void them for no reason during the ‘Me Too’ movement. It’s no wonder that more than half of the young men in this country voted for President Trump in the 2024 election. If the Democrats don’t stop demonizing men, they may never win another election.”
Considered a leader of men during his coaching career, Tuberville 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.

A September report from Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) found that several indicators “point to significant Republican gains among Gen Z,” noting in particular that Democratic registration among young men fell significantly compared to young women. The report found that Democratic registration among young white men, historically around 49%, fell to 29%.
A Pakinomist voter analysis for the 2024 election found that 55% of men voted for President Donald Trump, and 53% of men aged 18-44 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 the age of 30 voted for Trump over former Vice President Kamala Harris — including about six in 10 white male voters who support 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 male voters increased by about 20% compared to his support in 2020, the AP reported.
democrats is spending $20 million on a study examining how to speak 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” with male voters.
