Mother Jones reporter and MSNBC analyst David Corn showed me a photo of the “obscene” anti-Ocasio-Cortez graffiti he found in an airport bathroom this week and, honestly, it was pretty underwhelming.
Corn tweeted about the graffiti to his over-700,000 followers Tuesday but opted not to share the photo, sparking a flurry of responses from skeptical Twitter users who believed Corn was making up the story entirely or had written the graffiti himself.
The speculation about the alleged graffiti only intensified after some odd tweets from Phoenix Sky Harbor, the airport where Corn claimed to have found the message.
Corn shared the location of the graffiti with the airport, but the airport maintenance team was unable to find anything in the bathroom stalls. Corn suggested that the graffiti had been removed earlier in the day, noting that it was written in black marker that he was able to partially wipe off with his hand.
The exchange caught my attention in light of the recent hoaxed hate crime by “Empire” star Jussie Smollett, so I set out on a mission to see the photo of the Ocasio-Cortez graffiti myself.
I shot a message over to Corn on Wednesday, asking if he could send me the photo if I agreed not to publish it anywhere.
Corn replied that he did not trust me enough to share the photo with me online, an admission I found somewhat ironic considering a whole lot of people didn’t trust Corn enough to think the graffiti was real. Nonetheless, Corn offered to show me the photo in person if I dropped by his office the next day.
We ended up meeting at a coffee shop between our two offices on Thursday morning, and Corn requested I record our conversation, w.....

A graffiti hoax? Have we come to this?
Wasn’t there a leftist who hoaxed graffiti in a gas station bathroom?
Whatever happened to that phony hate crime. He had two graffiti on his Instagram, the hate hoax and a different one, both were in the same handwriting. I saved them off on my computer.
It’s not necessary to make up “obscene graffiti” against her.
She’s a walking, talking cartoon of stupidity.
Sure Corn, you’re not going to tweet a picture of it because it doesn’t exist.
Go to the bar where she worked and check the rest room walls, bet you will find lots of stuff about her.
That was Omar in Minnesota.
it was at a gas station between Minneaplistan and St Cloudastan..
(IE a route traveled by somalis a lot)
So it said: AOC is crap. And that got Corn to call in every janitor in Phoenix to find this stupid graffiti.
AOC, in itself, is graffiti.
These p-words have no idea what hate is. Folks do not hate AOC. They see her as a ding-bat, a flake and dismiss anything she says or stands for.
Why would anybody in the news expect not to be mentioned on bathroom walls?
For politicians, to find oneself the subject of bathroom graffiti is to know that one has finally arrived.
Pretty tame compared to much of the graffiti seen in men's room stalls.
AOC’s bar’s restroom walls were “sanitized” after the election.
Constant hoaxes. This is what happens when their demand for Hate is far greater than the supply
Corn could have just as easily posted her name with the rest blurred, but how much attention would that have gotten?
