New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has painted a picture of herself as a tough woman from the Bronx but it appears to be a façade.
It has been alleged before that she was raised in the affluent Westchester region of New York and was a fraud. She has strongly denied those accusations and insisted she was raised in the Bronx and Westchester.
But now that she is a Congresswoman she insists that she resides full time in the Bronx and her brand is built on that premise.
That is when she is not living in her luxury apartment in Washington D.C. that has no units for the poor people she says she represents.
Now a new story in The New York Post casts serious doubts on that assertion.
She may be Americas most famous freshman congresswoman, but in New York, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a virtual ghost.
She has no district office and no local phone number, unlike the states three other freshman members.

Can she be booted from office?
But after 20 minutes of waiting he found that she had snuck out the back door and left in a limousine.
The reporter spoke to neighbors of Ocasio-Cortez and found out some oddities in her Bronx story.
Her next door neighbor told The Post that she has never met the 29-year-old Congresswoman.
A postal worker said that in 10 years of delivering mail to the apartment he has only seen her occasionally and that her mail piles up for months.
Just because their names are on the box doesnt mean they live there, he told The Post.
Constituents come here and leave notes on the door, he said. But its a waste of time.

So? It’s typical of what (D)’s do ... lie.
This gal talks the talk but she'll never walk the walk.
To her, socialism is for the peons. She just wants to be one of the elites who are exempt from the suffering socialism brings.
The only redistribution of wealth she would participate in would be that from the taxpayers into her own pocket.
This must re-told and re-posted until people get it.
btt
The left love frauds.
The biggest fraud in history is their hero, Zero.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THAT IS. --- OAC
(I think this must be a joke)
I dont think this stuff is all coming from the right. Theres a lot of interesting negative news coming out lately about this nut job. I think the Dems at building a case to get her out in the next election.
Being a fraud worked for obozo why not her?
The fact the Bronx condo is owned by the Ocasio-Crotez family and she receives mail there is sufficient for AOC to claim it as a residence for the purposes of running for office.
The folks suggesting otherwise are either really uninformed or willfully ignorant.
AOC will leave Congress when she wants to leave. The Democrats are stuck with her. Even if a grand jury indicted her, and a Democrat prosecutor tried her, the jury would cut her loose.
In the words of the late Mayor of Boston, Mumbles Menino, she’s an Alcatraz around their necks.

A plane is on its way to Washington DC, when Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in economy class, gets up and moves to the first class section and sits down.
The flight attendant watches her do this and asks to see her ticket.
She then tells the Congresswoman that she paid for economy class and that she will have to sit in the back.
Cortez replies, Im a Democrat, Im beautiful, Im socialist, Im going to DC and Im staying right here.
The flight attendant goes into the cockpit and tells the pilot and co-pilot that there is a Democrat sitting in first class that belongs in economy and wont move back to her seat.
The co-pilot goes back to Cortez and tries to explain that, because she only paid for economy, she will have to leave first class and return to economy.
Cortez replies, Im a Democrat, Im beautiful, Im socialist, Im going to DC and Im staying right here.
The co-pilot tells the pilot that he probably should have the police waiting when they land to arrest the Congresswoman who wont listen to reason.
The pilot says, You say she is a Democrat socialist? Ill handle this. Im married to a liberal. I speak socialist.
He goes back to the Democrat and whispers in her ear, and she says, Oh, Im sorry., then gets up and goes back to her seat in economy.
The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and asked him what he said to her to make her move without any fuss.
I told her, First class isnt going to D.C.!
US representatives only have to be residents of the state, not of the district.
Typical Sleaze Bag answer...The apt. Is a Prop, the neighbors know the deal....
