Ocasio-Cortez shreds conservative TV host for sharing picture of her childhood home

New York Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tore into a conservative TV host who tweeted a picture of her childhood home in an attempt to discredit her.

John Cardillo, a host of Newmax's "America Talks Live," shared a picture of Ocasio-Cortez’s childhood home in Yorktown Heights, falsely claiming she lived there until she went to attend Brown University.

“This is the Yorktown Heights (very nice area) home @Ocasio2018 grew up in before going off to Ivy League Brown University,” Cardillo tweeted. “A far cry from the Bronx hood upbringing she’s selling.”

Ocasio-Cortez lived in the Bronx's Parkchester apartments before moving to Yorktown Heights at age 5 to attend a better public school then what was available in the Bronx at that time, according to her campaign website. She later attended Boston University.

The self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist is running as a Democrat in New York’s 14th congressional district, which encompasses the Bronx and Queens after defeating incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley (D) in a stunning primary earlier this month.

Ocasio-Cortez fired back at Cardillo Sunday afternoon, saying she did not attend Brown University or any other Ivy League school.

“I went to BU (Boston University),” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Try Google.”

“My mom scrubbed toilets so I could live here and I grew up seeing how the zip code one is born in determine much of their opportunity,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote, noting that she grew up partially in a working-class neighborhood.

I would have thought it would be worth more. A house like that in liberal infested Fairfax County, Virginia would probably be worth twice that.

Which is half true -- she did grow up living in that house from age 5, but she went to Boston University. The author of the half-assed exposé is himself Latino. Thanks yesthatjallen.

It's a two bedroom house that's 60 miles from NYC. That distance pulls down the price.

A shooting star? Not in that CD. That seat is hers for as long as she wants it.

Someone needs to look into who is funding her campaign.

When I saw that graphic I thought it was both highly professionally done and that it had a very Hispanic look to it.

That graphic isn't hers. It was created to mock her. It uses her portrait and campaign logo combined with the Soviet flag and Uncle Joe. It appears to have originated here (note the URL and look closely at the credit in the lower right).

That's not to say that her campaign materials have not elicited praise. See this critique, for example.

More background on the development of her campaign artwork.
