“Well, you know, the president is from Queens, and with all due respect — half of my district is from Queens — I don’t think he knows how to deal with a girl from the Bronx,” Ocasio-Cortez told Stephen Colbert during an appearance on The Late Show. The socialist phenom also told the Washington Post (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/29/fact-check-girl-from-the-bronx-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-grew-up-in-one-of-richest-u-s-counties/) "I wasn’t born to a wealthy or powerful family — mother from Puerto Rico, dad from the South Bronx. I was born in a place where your Zip code determines your destiny."

Well.....

Except Ocasio-Cortez isn't quite the blue-collar champion she's branding herself as. Breitbart's (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/29/fact-check-girl-from-the-bronx-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-grew-up-in-one-of-richest-u-s-counties/) Josh Caplan is out with a "fact check" on the Democratic Socialist's background - only to find she grew up in one of the richest counties in the United States.

It doesnt surprise me in the least she was elected, the bronx as XL well knows has a huge hispanic population. The south bronx has been hispanice for a long time.

At this point her socialism will go nowhere and she will be ineffective and just another anti everything trump and GOP vote.

The traditional Democrat Party has done the same thing the Traditional GOP has done, the gop got Trump and the democrats got Ocasio. The reason ? because they both sucked and didnt get a damn thing done

Exactly. I think she got like 16,000 votes. Also, how are her positions any different from any run of the mill liberal Democrat? Pffff, "phenom". What a joke.

I'm pleased that she won. It's funny to watch the Democrats implode from the inside and the old guard (Pelosi/Schumer, etc.) left wide eyed wondering how far left they can go to please the masses of dazed and confused Liberals.

They are ensuring the GOP will garner more support from Americans who actually like Democracy and care about our nation.

She's definitely closer to Sanders than she is to Clinton. Free healthcare, free college tuition, guaranteed jobs...no idea how to pay for it.

Chris she has no idea what shes talking about or how to do it, she was elected by an electorate who beleives all that should be given to them.

She wants ICE to be abolished but what does she want to replace it with? We want details! Medicare for all, does this eliminate the entire insurance industry from running it? How is this going to be financed without raising everyone's taxes? Housing is a Human right and higher education for all but how is this going to be financed?

I do agree with ending private prisons but what do we do with all those prisoners? Her agenda seems to be an utopia idea to many of her supporters but do they realize that everyone has to pay for it, nothing is free in society except to the illegals that are able to live here and live off of our system.

It's justice in a way. All that anti-white rhetoric has finally come back to haunt the white establishment of the Democratic Party.

She is nothing. Maxine Waters can be in the house and be an idiot so can this Jenny from the block wanna be

LGBTQIA+? Why did she disrespect the +'s? Aren't they relevant enough to mention?

Most of her positions are just far left wing clichés. She has no ideas as to what they mean.

It's also kind of funny that "coming out" in the South Bronx might be a little dangerous.

Lol.


Still what's after LGBTQIA? Come to think about it, what's the IA? Why don't we just use the entire alphabet?

I remember the good old days when it was just LGB.

Dont have too, she will win handily, if you knew the demographics of her district you would understand. She can win with a few hundred bucks and no ads

I don't know about that Common. This might be big screw up for Dems. I will tell you all the older Hispanic women there are going to hate her. Going to be more interesting than you might think. Remember she replaced a white guy so the district will vote that way if she comes off as spoil rich girl..which actually she is. Long shot I know.. but lets see...

Her opponent spent no money; he did no campaigning; he did a Hillary. That's all of it right there.

She will win easily. There are only 2 republicans and the drumk guy in the alley. The rest are democrats to the core.
