Fact Check: ‘Girl from the Bronx’ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Grew Up in One of Richest U.S. Counties
Breitbart ^ | June 29, 2018 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 06/30/2018 6:36:44 PM PDT by mcenedo

So what’s the issue? Ocasio-Cortez omits that for most of her formative years, she was actually raised in one of the United States’ wealthiest counties.

Why am I not surprised?

The real question...is she an illegal alien?

She similarly told the Washington Post: “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.”

It didn't seem to be an impediment to running for Congress.

She ran for office in New York.

She had to have rich backers.

Yes, she is one pack of lies, which is already unraveling.

Unfortunately, if she does visit Cuba and Venezuela she will only be allowed to visit the ‘approved’ areas where all the good little rich socialist, Communist Creepozoids will state that Utopia has been achieved, and the troubles on the television screen are the conservative lies of Trump, Bush, Halliburton, et al.

Yes, and her ZIP Code was in Westchester, neighbors to the Clintons.

It’s not just her family wealth or station, which is pretty middle class, not wealthy ... it’s HOW she was raised ... she didn’t grow up on the tough streets of the Bronx any more than Obama grew up on the tough streets of the south side of Chicago ... it’s a life experience those who grew up with middle and upper middle class comforts really don’t know, and never will.

I can’t figure out why she hasn’t celebrated her father’s getting an education, becoming an architect, moving up to the middle class .. what a wonderful message !! But, no, she (like Obama) has to buy into a struggle they really don’t, and can’t, know.

They are holding tight on personal details. I found mention that she was born in the Bronx to parents, at least one, from Puerto Rico. She’s more American that Obama’s. Both have ties to Democratic Socialists of America.

She was a Bernie volunteer, was until recently a bartender, went to school in Boston but no mention of degree or graduating.

Sounds like the idiot stepson of my former boss. He wanted to be a rapper. Problem was he was white. His father owned a furrier store. Real rich kid. We called him Skittles. The rich white Eminem’s.

Wealthy twits falling for socialism these days after being indoctrinated in college is something of a thing.

“”””On the other hand if the town has “Heights” in the name it’s probably, with few exceptions, a pretty nice place - I’m thinking Shaker Heights, Arlington Heights, Brooklyn Heights, etc. “””””

Columbia Heights. Mpls area. Not so nice. Avoid if possible.

Good the see the Real Americans out trying to get Los Campesinos to Bota por them.

Just think, if you can get enough Mexicans into the country and get the stupid gringos to accept their illegitimate vote, you too can take control of the US military arsenal without ever having to think it, build it, or even pay for it!

Cool, huh?

The Spaniard upper class has finally figured out how to take what they couldn’t make.

“median household income is $96,413”

This will get you a 2 bedroom apartment with 3 other people with the same income anywhere in the boroughs.

But it says household. Believe me, you can’t live too well on that in the city.

Shaker Heights is going downhill. Just get into the side streets off Shaker Heights Blvd and Van Aken, just not at night!

With "Crazy EyesTM" like that, she isn't even qualified to be a girlfriend.
