| Girl from Bronx |
| 2018-07-01 |
| h/t Instapundit [Breitbart] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Party’s rising socialist star, describes herself as "a girl from the Bronx" to project a working-class image. However, this claim is only half true ‐ to borrow a phrase from the left-wing website PolitiFact. "Well, you know, the president is from Queens, and with all due respect ‐ half of my district is from Queens ‐ I don’t think he knows how to deal with a girl from the Bronx," Ocasio-Cortez said this week on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. 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." The congressional candidate, who pulled off an upset win against high-ranking establishment Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY), was indeed born in New York City’s Bronx borough. She currently lives there, too. 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. Around the age of five, Alexandria’s architect father Sergio Ocasio moved the family from the "planned community" of Parkchester in the Bronx to a home in Yorktown Heights, a wealthy suburb in Westchester County. The New York Times describes her childhood home as "a modest two-bedroom house on a quiet street." In a 1999 profile of the area, when Ocasio-Cortez would have been ten years old, the Times lauded Yorktown Heights’ "diversity of housing in a scenic setting" ‐ complete with two golf courses. |

| #6 You have to wonder if she actually live there now or only uses the address. I would guess she already has a dacha or two around someplace. |
