AOC now insists she grew up ‘between’ Bronx, suburbs but locals near her childhood home are still confused: ‘You’re from here’ (only 5.57 years left)

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded to ridicule over calling herself a “Bronx girl” by claiming she grew up “between” the city and the leafy suburbs — but locals near her childhood home are still confused.

People from Yorktown — many of whom grew up in the Bronx themselves — chimed in on the liberal firebrand’s narrative about her youth after her yearbook photos recirculated on social media and AOC fundraised off the criticisms but still avoided saying she lived in upper Westchester County.

“You can tell right out of the gate she isn’t from the Bronx. Listen to her!” insisted retired FDNY firefighter Billy, a 47-year-old with a Bronx accent who now lives in the nearby town of Valhalla.

“Listen to us!” said Billy, who was golfing with a fellow Boogie Down native at Mohansic Golf Course in Yorktown one recent morning. “We’ve been out of the Bronx for years but we still sound like idiots! It doesn’t just go away. She doesn’t have that in the way she talks.”

Ocasio-Cortez raised eyebrows and drew heat when she again labeled herself a “Bronx girl” during a spat with President Trump, a Queens native, late last month.

While she was born in the Bronx, she moved up to Yorktown as a tot with her family, attending Yorktown public schools through high school. She was listed as a resident of her parents’ home in the suburb when her childhood home was sold for $355,000 in 2016 — two years before her election to Congress, according to land records cited by lohud.com.

Maybe she’ll come around to admitting to only having played outside in the direction of the poor neighborhoods?

Richard Kennedy, who works at the Uncle Giuseppe’s supermarket in town, said he thinks the 35-year-old lawmaker’s short stay in the city before moving to Yorktown “doesn’t even qualify” her as a Bronx girl.


I was born in the Bronx and moved to Yorktown (not Yorktown hts) when i was 5YO....presently live in the next town....if you’re in Yorktown Hts visit Uncle Guiseppe’s- the place is great!!!

Pocahontas was smarter than ‘ol horseface.

She saw how deep the hole was and stopped digging.

Where she lived is only one lie in that statement.

She never grew up.

New York City is a strange place, different accents in different neighborhoods. Very weird. I went there once back in 1976, had a hard time understanding the accented fast talking, but not as difficult to understand as someone from Alice Springs, Australia.

Well, Sandy blinked so expect cleavage exposing blouses and dresses in the near future.

She'll need to show her assets off.

Demonrats always have trouble keeping their lies straight, that’s why they hire the Marxist State Media to pimp for them.

I don’t really care where she’s from, she’s crazy and needs to be kept away from important political office. If the people who live around there want to be represented by her, that speaks to a general lack of intelligence in the voter base, Bronx or not (and frankly I don’t see how it matters, I was trying to visualize how little I would care if Doug Ford was ‘exposed’ for saying he was from Etobicoke and actually he was from Weston.

It’s what lawyers call a difference without a distinction.

Like a true dem she “identifies as being from the Bronx”.

Similar to her “identifying as being competent”
