Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez draws Bronx cheer for misleading campaign bio
Fox News ^ | 7/07/18 | Bradford Betz

The Democratic Socialist candidate seeking to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District is facing backlash over her working class “Bronx girl” campaign narrative.

As the Journal News reported, the original online bio for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- the 28-year-old Bernie Sanders protégé who defeated longtime Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Joseph Crowley on June 26 -- seemed to suggest that she commuted to a school in the suburbs from her family's home in the Bronx borough of New York City.

But after critics noted that she and her family left the Bronx when she was 5 years old, the bio was changed to imply that the Bronx was home to her "extended family," the newspaper reported.

Still, no mention was made that her family moved to Yorktown, north of the Bronx, where records indicate Ocasio-Cortez lived with her mother and brother until their home was sold in 2016 for $355,500, according to the report.

So she lied what is new for the extremist left today.
From Warren being an Indian, to Blumenthal serving, to Clinton with her many lies, and then to mad Max, Pelosi , Sheila Jackson etc.
The Dem party are the party of the hat, intolerant, lying mad hatters.

Since Kant, the masses have been indoctrinated by leftards to accept irrational skepticism, and to believe that realty as it really is, is unknowable by reason. Long story short, the end result is that truth is subjective, and the narrative can be whatever one wants it to be, in order to further one's agenda.

IMHO the Democrat Party have been Democratic Socialists for years now. What this is should be called Vehicular Socialism, using Socialism as the vehicle to drive us down to Communism.

When Alexandria’s election chances crash and burn...

Does she have an opponent running against her? I think she's running unopposed in Nov(GOP asleep at the switch again).

Yes
Because if they tell the truth no one will like them or vote for them
Socialism itself is a lie A terrible horrible one
The lies continue
But now we have Venezuela as a shiny example of socialism destroying a country entirely
It’s so bad there only a military overthrow will end the Maduro regime

She has three opponets, a Republican, a reform and a conservative. Green pages shows they have filed registrations but no money raised. She is running under the democrat and Working Families parties. Votes for each line are combined for a total.

Joe Crowley had one Republican opponent in 2016 who he beat with 82% of the vote.

So... If this young skull full of mush REALLY believes in No Borders, how many illegal alien trespassers and invaders has she welcomed to live in her own home? Will she take the locks and doors off of her home? Locks and doors are, after all, symbols of borders. Since in her socialist, Communist Utopia no one owns anything, anyone should have an open invitation to ‘occupy’ her home.
