Just a humble congresswoman from the Bronx! AOC describes her fame as a 'phenomenon' - but insists she hasn't lost touch with her constituents (has no plan, lost the internal craving)

**SNIP**

Even in her hometown of New York City, a candidate she backed for mayor was defeated by the more moderate Eric Adams.

The two have developed a fraught relationship, sparring over everything from the city budget and policing to his choice of words when describing some workers as 'low skill.'

And the woke congresswoman has also come under fire in the past for wearing a dress to the celebrity-packed Met Gala with the words 'Tax the Rich' scrawled across the back, with some saying it was hypocritical to wear the dress while attending the ultra-exclusive event full of the wealthy and connected.

Now, AOC finds herself at a crossroads as she struggles to appeal to both liberals in New York City and more moderate voters upstate.

And with Democrats facing an uphill battle to maintain control of the House after this year's midterms, the woke congresswoman is poised to find herself in the minority for the first time.

She is often mentioned as a potential Senate - or even presidential - contender. But she has opted against opportunities to seek higher office, including this year when there was speculation that she might challenge Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat and Senate majority leader, in a primary.

Now, AOC says she doesn't have a clear plan for what comes next for her.

'It´s a common question that I get and it´s not even an intention to be cagey or dismissive. It´s just - I really don´t know,' she said. 'I really do try to assess the landscape and see how I can best serve.'

'Personally - this is - I´m already like way beyond anything that I ever thought was possible for my life,' she added. 'And so, I do not have this internal craving.'

She'll soon be religated to the minority where she'll be told to sit down and shaddap, if it hasn't happened already. She did predict the end of the planet (only 8.54 years left) so she's got that going for her. She can always go back to bartending and leave the rest of us alone.

I read something the other day that she’s now worth $29 million. Not bad for a penniless bartender who has been in Congress for only 3 1/2 years.

Having most of the world think you’re a fool isn’t fame.

“Her constituents”.. as if.. she beat out a deadbeat looser with minimal vote turnout. Then the media played her like a flogging stick. She’s just a dim whit bar tender with a Tesla she thinks runs on unicorn farts.

Yet, she still refuses to pay down the note on her student debt.

Typical chick. She’s probably asking her soft and pasty skinny fat white boy “roommate” to pay it

No; she wants YOU to pay it.

She balled Cenk Uygar and he liked it so much, he promoted her as a political intellect.

The egotistical little bitch ate it up (pun intended) and the rest is her story.

AOC, like ALL of the democrat party, is a sham and a fabrication

She’ll be first in line to get it cancelled

I wonder if Vinnie and Louie and the rest of the guys back on the block still call her Sandy Cortez when she does a driveby through her district.

Hardly.

She rose to prominence in the D party in mere months and started influencing party policy in her first year. Remember she is the one who rejuvenated the “green new deal” idea which is now a centerpiece of the Democrat agenda and in one term has become a party leader, despite not having the formal role. Ridicule her all you want but these are impressive political accomplishments.

We should be learning from her to come up with ways of creating more new young conservative leaders for our side. Instead we get flash-in-the-pan Tea Party losers who either quit or got beat in a term or two and unreliable squishes like Cawthorn and Eyepatch.

only in America could this bird brain pull any of this off....she’d have a hard time taking care of gold fish, yet she pulls down almost 200 grand in the U.S. Congress....

No, she didn’t. Look at her track record in office. According to her own House web page, she has introduced 49 bills since her first day in office … and not a single one has passed in the House.

If you don’t watch TV and stay off Twitter, you’d never know this dingbat even existed.
