Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Responds To Cody Rhodes’ Comments About Diversity In AEW

Earlier this year All Elite Wrestling was officially announced, and right away the company made it clear that AEW is for everyone.

All Elite Wrestling is a company that celebrates diversity, and after Double or Nothing Cody Rhodes spoke to the media about being in an interracial marriage.

Rhodes told the press that diversity will be a way of life in AEW, and not a publicity stunt.

He also shared a story about a moment he shared with his wife, Brandi Rhodes, when he said, “I told Brandi one time that I don’t see color and she said ‘well, then you don’t see my experience.’”

The comments caught the attention of congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who responded with the following:

“This exchange is a promising peek into what growth looks like in our national discourse on race. Thanks for sharing your experience in this powerful moment, @CodyRhodes.”
