Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez' claims that she's unable to afford an apartment in Washington, D.C., until she begins collecting her congressional salary crumble under scrutiny, with records showing the 29-year-old has collected more than $6,000 from her campaign and reported having a minimum of $15,000 in savings.

After months of fostering an image as a working-class Democrat, Ocasio-Cortez told the New York Times shortly after her Nov. 6 general election...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Alexandra-Beto 2024? – It could happen, because this is just how ridiculous your Democrat Party has become. Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio Cortez spent her Friday evening doing a livestream Q&A with her fans on her Instragram account while she whipped up a box of Kraft Mac ‘n Cheese for supper – which, not coincidentally, is also the favorite dinner for my 5 and 8 year-old granddaughters. Hashtag, irony. I swear I don’t make this stuff up. Anyways, one of her fan girl callers was all, like, ‘so, when ya gonna run for, like,...

It reveals what they actually think about us," she tweeted....

Full title: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Picks And Chooses Which Parts of Her Life to Highlight – But Here's What She Left Out Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Congressional candidate from New York, hit the scene a few months ago and quickly became the face of the future of the Democratic Party. Her socialist positions made her popular with Bernie Sanders and other of the like. After all, she is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

...."Yet, there have been allegations that she hasn’t been straightforward with her upbringing. What appears to have been the selling line was that she’s Jewish, working class, and immigrated here when she was a baby from Colombia. Well, it looks like she was from a well-to-do family, born in Miami, and was a pro-life, pro-Israel supporter who appeared on Glenn Beck’s program representing Christians United for Israel. Oh yeah, and her family is Catholic. Multiple outlets, left and right leaning, have reported on this woman that has made a local New York State Senate race somewhat interesting. Tablet made light...

In June 2018, young 28-year-old "Socialist Democrat" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeated 10-term Democrat Joe Crowley in what was considered a major upset. Crowley – a tried-and-true Democratic congressman with 20 years of loyal party service, proved no match for Ocasio-Cortez and her embodiment of the new brand of über-liberal progressivism. In the new paradigm of Democratic Party politics, there is no such thing as social policies that are too liberal, no education, healthcare, or assistance initiatives that are too generous with government-funded payouts, no position on illegal immigration or gender identity that is too lenient or accommodating. Now in Massachusetts, it...

Viola Davis has one person in mind when it comes to improving race relations in the country -- and she's a new, young face in politics who could soon be in congress. We got the 'How to Get Away with Murder' star Sunday at LAX and asked who she thought might be the next champion of our time, especially when it comes to easing racial tensions ... which seem to be at a bit of a boiling point lately. She nominates Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who just won the Democratic primary in New York and earned a spot on the midterm election...

Oh, Alexandria. Ever since she won a stunning upset victory over her democrat primary rival, incumbent New York Representative Joe Crowley, self-described “democratic socialist” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has become the far left’s new “it” girl, appearing in a nauseating number of puff media appearances, showing up in hyper-liberal candidate fundraising appeals, and generally just being everywhere. Including Maine. But I’ll get to that in a minute. Of course, her rising media star hasn’t actually been a good thing for her. The candidates she has endorsed have been almost universally trounced. She made an abject fool out of herself when trying to...

The Washington Post fact-checks Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's comments on the campaign trail.

On Monday, CRTV host Allie Stuckey released a hilarious video showing her “interviewing” socialist congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Although the quality of the video is very high, it’s obviously satirical and not meant to be taken as a real interview. It involves Stuckey asking simple questions to Ocasio-Cortez, who appears totally bewildered throughout the staged video. The satirical “interview”—which looks like something you might see on a late-night talk show—quickly went viral, garnering more than 1 million views in its first day and drawing the ire of the left-wing media, which by Wednesday had mobilized a campaign to discredit Stuckey and...

Our children’s lives are on the line. Not a single elected official, Democrat OR Republican, should accept money from fossil fuel corporations. Americans are dying because of a government too coward to save the planet. It’s wrong. And we will need a Green New Deal to survive.

That’s 40% of this country.”Skip to 4:45 in this video to hear her say those words:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUmIdCClbTEI certainly would not expect her or anyone else to know the exact number. If she or anyone else had said that the U.S. population was 325 million or 330 million, that would be perfectly reasonable.But 500 million?
