Twitter shames Ocasio-Cortez’s boyfriend into getting a haircut
NY Post ^ | May 5, 2019 | Tamar Lapin

After her shaggy boyfriend was called a “bin raccoon,” New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to social media to tout his new haircut.

The freshman Democratic congresswoman from the Bronx posted a video showing off beau Riley Roberts’ fresh look after people ripped him to shreds over his appearance in the Netflix documentary “Knock Down the House.”

“The internet roasted Riley into getting a haircut/glow up after #KnockDownTheHouse,” Ocasio-Cortez, 29, captioned the video on her Instagram story.

In the footage, she can be heard fawning over Roberts, 29, telling him, “You look good! Ooooh, look at that shape-up!”

Roberts’ makeover was in response to critics of the overgrown locks and facial hair he sported in the doc about the 2018 primary campaigns of four Democratic women, starring Ocasio-Cortez.

“Wait a minute … AOC’s boyfriend looks like THIS?” tweeted one user.

Another person went as far as to brand Roberts a “bin raccoon” in a since-deleted tweet.

".... It's nice to see a political figure where we're discussing his beard...."

This idiot isn't a politician. He's a slacker, hanger-oner. A human pilot fish sucking up the crumbs from his girlfriend's 15 minutes of fame.

Politician, my ass.

Now he’s just the Bearded Beta. I’m guessing he really likes cheeseburgers, but OCD (a.k.a. “Donkey”) won’t allow it.

When I was in school, only middle-school girls cared obsessively about what their peers thought of their appearance. In 2019, we have a generation of males who've made it to their 30s but somehow aren't quite men. They obsess over social media and, like those middle school girls, they let the opinions of people who don't like them rule their lives.

If guys like this and women like his girlfriend are the future of America...well, we had a nice run.

This and Michelle Obama’s “fabulous toned arms” are headline news.

Liz, are you saying that individual citizens should demand these records about AOC’s staff from our Congressman?

How easy is that going to be? Can my Congressman demand these records — and will they be forthcoming?

Thanks.

Yes, a “beard.”

If she was a lesbian, she'd be shouting it from the rooftops.

Funny thing about AOC, she plays herself off as a streetwise "Alex from the 'hood" when she's really the whitest Puerto Rican in New York.

This is “public information”——paid for by our tax dollars........so reinforce that point.

If a Congressman can demand a president’s tax returns.....this should be a cinch.

Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan.......will relish this task.

I’m thinking she might be bisexual. That’s not much of a man she’s ordering around. The people in her district will be better off when she goes back to being a cocktail waitress.

Wow, so AOC likes her men big, manly and white. Who knew ????

Yeah, that's the first pic I've ever seen of him. I thought her boyfriend was that Indian guy... or is he her advisor or fundraiser?

What an ODD couple!

In some quarters, a "bin" is what others of us call a "dumpster". A "bin raccoon" is a member of the species Procyon lotor that hangs out in garbage dumpsters looking for food.

I kinda thought that, but have never heard the term. I suppose that means there are bin black bears too.
