RE: Where do they get the nickname “Sandy:” for AOC?

That was her nickname in high school.

Thanks for the link. Better to be called ‘Sandy’, I suppose, than to be known as ‘Coonman’.
She showed such promise in high school, winning a prize at an Intel Science Fair and having an asteroid named after her. It was the shift to economics at Boston University that was a big mistake, but the final nail in the coffin was Interning at Ted Kennedy’s Immigration Office...pure poison for the mind.
