"Girl From The Bronx" Ocasio-Cortez Called Out In Fact Check; Actually Grew Up In Wealthy Enclave

The Democratic Party's rising socialist icon - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has been on an intense media junket since her upset primary victory over establishment Democrat Joe Crowley this week - doing her darnedest to project her "girl from the Bronx" working-class image.

“Well, you know, the president is from Queens, and with all due respect — half of my district is from Queens — I don’t think he knows how to deal with a girl from the Bronx,” Ocasio-Cortez told Stephen Colbert during an appearance on The Late Show.

The socialist phenom also told the Washington Post "I wasn’t born to a wealthy or powerful family — mother from Puerto Rico, dad from the South Bronx. I was born in a place where your Zip code determines your destiny."

Except Ocasio-Cortez isn't quite the blue-collar champion she's branding herself as. Breitbart's Josh Caplan is out with a "fact check" on the Democratic Socialist's background - only to find she grew up in one of the richest counties in the United States.

It's always about the prog script and narrative.

Her folks moved for better schools and safer environment; that's laudable on their part. Their daughter was able to attend a private university in anther state; that's fine, too.

So how has she spent her time since grabbing a sheepskin?

Her college cost 70k a year. She paid ZERO on a minority scholarship. Her high school was 98 percent WHITE. Basically she is Bernie 2.0.

Of course she's lying. There isn't an honest democrat walking the face of the earth. They all lie constantly. Democrats are the lowest form of live. Animals are more civilized then democrats.
