Deceptive leftist not really a person of the people, by Jim Hoft.

Congresswoman elect Democrat-Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez grew up and attended school in affluent Westchester, New York but likes to pretend like she grew up in the Bronx.

She put out a tweet recently with the “of-the-people” image she likes to portray. But truth upends her.

Alex is not from the Bronx and was quickly put in her place.

Here she is in a recent promo shoot (in a $3k outfit!):

This week an “anonymous classmate” reached out to The Gateway Pundit and sent us several photos of Alexandria Ocasio-Corez from high school.

The classmate went to and graduated from Yorktown high school in Westchester County, New York.

Ocasio-Cortez graduated in 2007 with honors. Yorktown Heights is a middle to upper middle class community located in northern Westchester County. … Lacrosse was our biggest sport. We were terrible at football, decent at soccer. …

There was very large theater, dance and band department. You were considered poor if your parents made $50,000 a year each. Everyone drove a car when they got their license, including Sandy. Some students received a BMW, Range Rover, or a similar brand when they turned 16.

And Alexandria went by “Sandy” at her affluent high school.

So when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells us she is just “Alex from the Bronx”, it’s intended to mislead, a calculated lie of omission. Not that the media will expose it.
