The 'Girl From the Bronx' Grew Up in the Suburbs

[HereIStand]

Democrat Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28 year old darling of the establishment, was raised in wealthy New York suburb. This is in contrast to her Horatio Alger image of the girl from the Bronx.

"Claims she made a 40-minute commute from the Bronx for better school as kid"

Well at a minimum she has "creative" writing skills to make a 40-minute move look like a 40-minute daily commute.

She is hyper progressive, not establishment at all, she worked for Bernie Sanders campaign. She beat out the establishment Democrat.

Her family helped film her campaign ads, and she said she would not take 'corporate cash' - paining Crowley as the creature of the establishment and making his 18 times larger budget less of an advantage.

"I was raised in the Bronx" is a better story than "I was raised in an upper-middle-class suburb".

The Right must be terrified of her to start the smear campaign so soon...

She did beat the establishment candidate. But she is receiving fawning reviews from the New York Times and Washington Post.

And why not? They like her and her platform.

It's a rare thing these days when a candidate actually runs on issues, isn't it?

Credit to her for winning. No, her popularity isn't a surprise.

No, we'd only be afraid of her if she was from the Bronx as she claimed- she herself said that Trump, being from Queens, doesn't have the skills to deal with someone from where she wasn't actually raised herself.

So you meant she is the darling of the NY news media. Maybe so. She's from a working class family, immigrate mom, well educated, minority, attractive, and seems to be on target with the progressive platform. What's there for them not to like?

 

[Humble me Lord]

Oh look, another dishonest politician.

LOL

Yup, she definitely made that sound like something that it wasn't, she didn't grow up in the Bronx and go to school in Yorktown Heights.

 

[TuxAme]

Oh look, another dishonest politician.

It must be our birthday.

 

[Humble me Lord]

Maybe she is related to Vanilla Ice?

You must be terrified, OP. A brown woman who is a (gasp) SOCIALIST!

Good.

No fear here. Credit to her for winning.

It always makes me smile to see the reaction from many Americans when the word ‘socialist’ is uttered....even when it’s only part of a broader description....

Much of the non-conservative side of politics in the Western world is made up of Democratic Socialists, or Social Democrats. You have to look elsewhere for the radical left...
