Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Tuesday apologized for the lack of gender pronouns in her Instagram biography.
“Please add pronouns to your IG profile, thank you for all you do for ALL,” one of her followers wrote.
“Oh I’m sorry about that,” Ocasio-Cortez responded. “They used to be on there. Let me go in and check and see if I can add them.”
“Sorry about that. They used to be there. I guess they fell off, but I’ll put them on right now,” she added.
Ocasio-Cortez, 33, earlier in the day teamed up with the state’s Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, who is running against Republican Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y.
"We cannot afford an anti-choice person. Gov. Hochul has been so strong on supporting women's right to choose," Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said, according to the New York Post. "She came out here after Hurricane Ida and we worked together to make sure we could get the fastest disaster declaration to help families out here get bailed out."
