AOC Bronx girl persona disassmbled by fellow New Yorker

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez found herself in a "New York off" with a local politician, who blew some serious holes in her "Bronx girl" narrative.

A New York State Republican lawmaker shattered AOC's persona when he exposed her yearbook photo from a top-tier high-performing school, as The Daily Mail reported.

After liberal progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demanded Trump's impeachment for authorizing attacks on Iran without congressional authorization, State Assemblyman Matt Slater joined the Twitter feud between Trump and Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday.

In the heated argument that ensued after the online clash, AOC leaned hard on her Bronx heritage, which she used to criticize Trump.

The Twitter War

"Also, I'm a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully," AOC wrote to X concerning the president's Queens upbringing.

Slater, however, stoked the fires of controversy by releasing a high school yearbook photo of AOC from her freshman year in the posh Yorktown neighborhood of Westchester County, which is forty minutes away from the Bronx.

"If you're a BX girl then why are you in my Yorktown yearbook?" Slater wrote on X along with a black and white photo of a young AOC, smiling in a 2004 yearbook from Yorktown High School. "Give it up already."

The Reactions

He called the "AOC-Bronx mythology" "laughable" in an interview with The New York Post, going on to say that the 36,000 people who live in the Westchester neighborhood find the claim to be equally ridiculous.

"The truth is AOC is Sandy Cortez who went to Yorktown High School and lived at the corner of Friends Road and Longvue Street," Slater told the outlet.

"She may think it makes her look tough or like some kind of champion for the radical left who voted for Zohran Mamdani, but she really needs to come clean and drop the act," he added.

Tiff With Trump

AOC, who represents portions of both the Bronx and Queens, called for Trump's impeachment shortly after his order to deploy a dozen 30,000-pound "bunker buster" bombs that reportedly "obliterated" Iran's three largest nuclear facilities. The Twitter war came shortly thereafter.

"The president's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers," she said on Saturday. "He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."

To which Trump immediately responded by saying, "Go ahead and try impeaching me, again.

"Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the 'dumbest' people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before."
