Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one step closer to beginning her new role as congresswoman. And she’s letting followers know that despite her political clout, she won’t forget where she came from.

The 29-year-old took to social media on Thursday to celebrate a new office plaque that includes her soon-to-be official title of representative. However, not everyone was ready to celebrate the moment with the representative-elect and her reference to J.Lo.

“Don’t be fooled by the plaques that we got, I’m still/I’m still Alex from the Bronx,” Ocasio-Cortez riffed on J.Lo’s lyrics from her song “Jenny From the Block.” But as for her claim that she was born in the New York City borough, many found reason to mock Ocasio-Cortez for exaggerating her roots in the Bronx, given that she moved to Yorktown in Westchester, N.Y., at the age of 5.

Some also criticized her Instagram post. “Must have been really strenuous to put that on the wall. I’m sure you will need some more time off to rest!!” one critic wrote referencing the fact that Ocasio-Cortez said recently she’d be taking a week off before starting work.

Wasn't me, although I wish it was.

The bug-eyed Bolshivik.

I have loathing and contempt for all communists. What an ugly deceitful lot.

Sorry but I’ve got to steal that

I’ve had enough of this girl already and she hasn’t served one day yet.

Very appropriate name for this one: Mind if I steal it too???

“The bug-eyed Bolshivik.” That is similar to Ovomit’s name,

“BAT-EARED BOLSHIVIK”. Both are dangerous and crazy.

I heard her called occasional cortex on the radio.

It shows the opportunity available in our country where one can go from being a know-nothing barrista to making $174,000 as an elected official within one year. Based on her leftwinger district she will almost assuredly be re-elected for many decades to come.

Dennis Kucinich used to say that all the time!.

[Badboo]

Oh, something more from the retard from the Bronx. She is a Congressman, and she is mentally retarded, but I repeat myself. (apologies to Mark Twain)

Don’t Trust Anyone Over 30, should be in quotes and attributed to Jack Weinberg. The way it is written makes it look like a term Ms. Cortez coined.

a personal hero of yours?

Jerry Rubin and others famously carried the same motto, mindset.

and all of them were dangerously close to 30 themselves and often had access to personal trust fund wealth.

The AOC drinking game.
Whenever she says something stupid, drink someone else’s beer!
