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.

Her is her childhood home:
This bitch is all we are going to hear about for the next 10 years. She is everything the left wants to us to conform to on future leadership: not white, not male, socialist. I don’t know what her sexual orientation is, but I assume she is lesbian. The makings of a perfect political star.
She has to appear to be down for the struggle.
Not exactly the projects....
This is crazy.
Stating facts, such as this is where she grew up, is now going to be challenged as demeaning or insulting? Simple facts such as, this is where she lived?????
What a crazy works this is.
Socialists are Soooooo Fake
Not exactly the palace at Versailles. To be fair.
Didn’t she open herself to this by claiming to be a girl from the hood? Seems to me she asked for it.
Sorry, i think trying to diminish her credibility this way is a losing battle and looks petty. It didnt work against Obama. Better to relentlessly attack her crazy ideas and platform.
If I correctly understand her complaint, the fact that she lived in an apartment until she was 5 is supposed to establish her as Ghetto For Life. Neither the little house with nice trees nor Brown University had any effect on her.
Plus she stole restaurant tips. Heh heh.
Reminds me of all the rappers who talk about growing up “in da hood”, when most of them really grew up in nice, middle-class communities.
Yes, it’s very Marxist. They’re all trying to establish their proletariat bonafides. They claim they respect their parents, while insisting that everything their parents did to give them better opportunities was wrong.
Boston University, she says. As if that makes a difference!
Plus she stole restaurant tips. Heh heh.
Socialist ,it’s all mine
You can bet on it.
She’s probably being groomed to be the next 0bama, a fraud in every sense of the word with no brains whatsoever.
Just the kind of useful idiot the left like to have in the WH.
She won a Democrat primary where only 13% of registered Democrats voted and won by a mere 4,000 votes.
And that’s the groundswell of voter enthusiasm that the FAKE MEDIA is marketing as the “Blue Wave” which will sweep their Democrat party back into control of Congress.
