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-Cortezs 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 shes 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 Yorks 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.

Not impressed. Looks like a dump.
I’m triggered that her campaign sign isn’t in Vietnamese, Lao, Korean, Portugese, Creole, Hmong, Russian, Gaelic and Esperanto.
But in Obama’s case, he took the party exactly where it wanted to go, even though it was a big lie and he drove the car off into the left side ditch as soon as he got control. This woman is left of the D party and will try to pull it after her - and it’s working to some extent already with “abolish ICE” nonsense.
The further to the left the D party goes the more moderates and D-leaning indies will support Trump, or just not vote.
They didn’t screw Bernie for no reason.
Boston University, she says. As if that makes a difference!

True BUT one sort of loses credibility when such an ‘important’ KNOWN fact is wrong.
Just think what we would doing if ‘they’ had miss ID’d something on an R...especially when trying to ‘slam’ them.
Sort of like if a report starts On Dec 7 1940 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, even though a probable typo or ‘honest mistake’, I am still skeptical of ANYTHING else that may be in the article...
I just watched CNN footage when Dana Bash tells Wolf Blitzer Hillary called Trump to concede.
Wolf was like, “Ok but CNN hasn’t called the race yet.”
Hillaryous.

From what I’ve read here and there, she got a BA degree in Economics and International Relations from Boston University, then tended bar for four years, and then ran for congress and won.
Haven’t seen a good, fairly comprehensive bio yet.

nuff said.
That's what I want my children to do with hundreds of thousands in college tuition.
However, if she can stick the House seat long-term, it'll all pay back.
Joseph Stalin "We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns?
‘...nor Brown University had any effect on her.’
especially since she didn’t go there...
Got that, thanks.
“I even vaguely remember a Quonset hut in the late 60s”
When I was born in the late ‘40s, my parents lived in a Quonset hut. It was the parsonage for Dad’s first church. I think had been military housing of some sort.
When I saw that graphic I thought it was both highly professionally done and that it had a very Hispanic look to it.
This wasn't done by an amateur.
This campaign image was designed by someone with extensive ethnic marketing skills.
There was big money behind this design.
‘are you seriously saying this havent almost if not already there Communist is a threat Nationally?’
hopefully no one is seriously saying anything like that...
Standing behind her at her victory speech.
The Greedy Jewish Landlord guy.
She is a communist and an anti-semite.
The chickens are coming home to roost.
Must have been World War II housing. The Navy was still using some in the 60s, because a roof’s a roof.
EXACTLY. Her dad was an architect, and BU is no slum school. Where I come from she was a spoiled child of privilege. Seriously.
It worked for Hillary and Bill AND Hussein.
