AOC-backed Alaska Senate hopeful Mary Peltola accused of using n-word


Mary Peltola — the Alaska Democratic Senate hopeful famously championed by “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — is fighting allegations by former staffers she used the n-word.

Peltola, 53, is challenging incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) in a critical and controversial race that could determine the balance of power on Capitol Hill.

The incident allegedly occurred after an October 2024 dinner honoring nearly 4,000 black soldiers, when Peltola was a US Representative for Alaska.

Her campaign shelled out $8,000 on tables for the event, FEC records show, after Ed Wesley, a black Army veteran promoting the dinner, reportedly assured her the tables would be filled.

When that didn’t happen, Peltola allegedly exploded.

She said, “I can’t believe that n—-r,'” an unnamed former staffer told news outlet Alaska Landmine, adding Peltola repeatedly referred to Wesley, a former president of the Anchorage NAACP, as a “scammer.”

Peltola’s campaign flatly denied the allegation to The Post, calling it “part of a smear campaign driven by an unstable, disgruntled former staffer who was fired.”

“Mary would never use this word, which is a vile slur with a painful, hateful history,” a spokesperson said.

The n-word allegation comes after Peltola was already accused of being prone to angry outbursts and using other offensive terms like “retard” and “f—t” — and even shoved a male employee.
