AOC Continues “Bronx Girl” BS
De Facto leader of “The Squad” and lefty firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spoke out on her suburban high school yearbook pic — but still continued to dodge her Westchester County upbringing.
“I’m proud of how I grew up and talk about it all the time,” AOC said on X Friday. “My mom cleaned houses, and I helped. We cleaned tutors’ homes in exchange for SAT prep.
“Growing up between the Bronx and Yorktown deeply shaped my views of inequality & it’s a big reason I believe the things I do today!”
The latest controversy started when AOC referred to herself as a “Bronx girl” in a recent spat with President Trump.
State Assemblyman Matt Slater (R-Yorktown) called out the social democrats and even shared a yearbook photo of Ocasio-Cortez showing her as a high school freshman in suburban Yorktown in northern Westchester County — an upscale suburban community about 40 minutes north of Bronx.
But this was not the first time that AOC’s “Bronx girl” claims have come under fire, with folks in the northern Westchester community remembering her as Sandy Cortez from Yorktown Heights.
“She’s embarrassing herself for doing everything possible to avoid saying she grew up in the suburbs instead of the Bronx,” state Assemblyman Matt Slater (R-Yorktown) said about her latest deflection of the truth.
“She has said she visited extended family, she has said she commuted,” Slater said. “Now she’s in between. It’s clearly desperate attempts to protect the lie that she is from the Bronx.”
Ocasio-Cortez, who represents part of the Bronx and Queens, traded online barbs with President Trump last week after she called for his impeachment for bypassing Congress on the Iranian airstrikes.
Trump called the liberal firebrand “one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress,” leading Ocasio-Cortez to rip into the commander-in-chief in a series of tweets.
“Also, I’m a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully,” Ocasio-Cortez said in reference to the President’s Queens childhood.
AOC was born in the Bronx, but her family moved to Yorktown when she was 5 years old, and she went on to graduate from Yorktown High School in 2007.
The left-wing darling, 35, has taken heat for her suburban roots since she pulled off an upset win in 2018 to burst onto the national stage.
On this one, she’s as much a “Bronx girl,” as Trump is a “Queens man,” or Kingsman for that matter. She’s from well-to-do Westchester and even if poor by their standards, it’s a place where even the poor get good scraps. If her Mom cleaned homes, it was a personal choice, there were better paying jobs in Westchester. He’s from Jamaica Estates, in Queens, not gated, but $1M starter prices and $5M not unusual for homes on their tree-lined parkway boulevards. He moved within JE once, I doubt they were moving down. Well, at least we don’t have to hear about Joe’s Dad, Kamalala’s Mom anymore……
Psssssst: politicians…….we have the internet, google, ai, and wiki ——- come clean, only Trump can lie with impunity.
This one goes full Laugh-In: “Interesting……..but stupid.”
Dunger I don’t care if she sold blow jobs in the back of the bar where she worked. She’s too far left for this country. But voter fraud being alive and well, don’t count her out. Or us patriots.
Harold Blankassshit, I don’t count you at all…… Spell my name: danger. Or not at all. A real gentleman does not hide behind schoolyard catcalls. A real patriot does not tear down fellow Americans.
Voter fraud —- beyond the penny-ante —–PROVE IT OR STFU. I am tired of your feckless tirade on the subject. All hat and no cow. Find us one Chinese fake driver’s license ID being used to vote fraudulently. You piss, you moan, you claim it’s true, but you ain’t got shit for proof. YET. So you bay at the moon like a rabid dog on a hot summer’s night.
I don’t count AOC out; while I am not a fan of the far left; that’s your misnomer about me that you cannot prove, I will say of the squad, she’s the only one that stands out, has learned, is getting better and perhaps a bit more moderate every day. Nice job at elevating her status and making her relevant. Keep up the good work.
FYI: you are no more patriot than I. I just don’t wear it on my sleeves like you like to do. I find those who boast usually can’t live up to their words. Just puffery.
Blankerthanshit: I spell my name: DANGER. But you can’t. A real patriot would be a gentleman and do so. You can’t.
A gentleman is a man who can work as a gynecologist and not get a hard on. You commiecrats hide the fraud. But we have found a lot of it out. Dunger.
