Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims the media is targeting people in her personal life, something she suggests has been unfairly reserved for her family.
The New York socialist’s point of contention was an article in The Hill, which featured excerpts from an interview her mother had conducted with the Daily Mail.
The article focused on comments Blanca Ocasio-Cortez made expressing her desire for the freshman congresswoman to get married.
This comes on the heels of initial reports from that interview with the Daily Mail, in which her mother embarrassed the deep blue state of New York and their tax rates saying it was a no-brainer to move to Florida and pay exponentially less.
“You know, when I got to DC I was told that it’s considered ‘off-limits’ to report on a member’s family, love life, etc.,” the younger Ocasio-Cortez objected to the coverage. “Unsure why that consideration is suspended for me.”
You know, when I got to DC I was told that it’s considered “off-limits” to report on a member’s family, love life, etc.
Unsure why that consideration is suspended for me.

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 5, 2019
The unspoken implication here is, of course, that it must be due to systemic misogyny in the media.
Always the victim, in her own mind.
Why Her Whining Is Absurd
Two counterpoints here:
One, her mother agreed to do the interview with the Daily Mail. If Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t want her family to be reported on, then perhaps she should notify her family.
Second – The notion that any decorum when it comes to family coverage has been suspended for the congresswoman alone is off the charts absurd.
How were the Bush twins treated throughout his presidency? Has Barron Trump been off limits since 2016?
Granted, she mentioned ‘members’ specifically, but we can even locate examples in that regard as well.
Does anyone recall the Washington Post editorial cartoon that depicted Ted Cruz’s daughters as dancing monkeys? Even more recently, Rep. Paul Gosar saw the media spread campaign videos for his opposition which featured attacks from his own siblings saying he was unfit for office.
Should Probably Worry More About Her Boyfriend
Perhaps Ocasio-Cortez should worry about slightly more pressing matters involving her family and love life.
Specifically, payments made to Riley Roberts, the boyfriend of Ocasio-Cortez, have spurred an FEC complaint filing from a Republican group, along with reports that he was issued a congressional email account which violates House ethics rules.
She and her chief of staff have also been accused of illegally funneling nearly $1 million in campaign contributions to privately owned companies.
Mom seems to be the least of her concerns.
And????
Marjorie posting: AOC wants to be in politics. It comes with the territory. Get use to it.
If she doesn’t like the attention she should resign from office. There is nobody making her stay. Hasn’t she embarrassed herself enough by displaying her complete lack of knowledge when it comes to real issues.
AOC came on as a George Soros who is a communist. She is low life human. Stupid. Voted in by stupid people. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????
She needs to be removed from college and jailed So this is she????????????????????????????????????????
Hillary got hundreds of millions through illicit means. Alexandria is only a piddling thief by comparison, not even worth the money to try her in some liberal NY court where she knows she would walk free.
Welcome to life as a public servant. Infuses on “Public”. Your life of privacy is a thing of the past.
Is President Trump and his extended family to be treated the same by you?
You know Alex the more you draw attention to your self the more reporters start digging an old saying better to keep your mouth shut and thought stupid ,than to open it and remove all doubt
Thank you for your continued coverage of AOC. This poor woman just isn’t getting enough attention these days.
“You know, when I got to DC I was told that it’s considered “off-limits” to report on a member’s family, love life, etc.”
Somebody LIED to you sweetheart. Get used to it. Welcome to the REAL World of Politics. You should have gotten the clue from all the people who came before you that there’s no such thing as a PRIVATE life in Politics.
the whole mess with her is absurd. She is absurd. she just thinks she has it tough–go live in Venezuela or other countries and see “tough”. just go away-this country has enough left lunatics as it is.
wife of RET/DAV/USA
Poor widdle deluded lying anti American Marxist baby
Shep you are wrong you contradict your self by your description of her .She is the perfect Democrap ! Lying crazy to the max Powder puff describes them all
This woman stays on the cusp of insanity. Not only is she a *proven* liar, but she is also a proven ‘crazy-to-the-max’ powerpuff. Send her home. She is both mentally and morally unfit to serve in Congress.
CAN’T TAKE THE HEAT B*TCH RESIGN
Wake up Cortez and put on you big girl pants. You have arrived in DC and shoot your mouth off everyday. So you must expect the consequences associated with all the attention you are seeking. You have to take the good with the bad. If President Trump has to endure personal attacks, so should you, especially since you have called for said attacks against our president. If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Your campaign finances and your manager and your boyfriend are all up for grabs. Get used to it.
Let’s see, it’s fine for you DEMONazis to destroy Justice Kavanaugh, re: a high school yearbook from 30 years ago. It’s all right for you DEMONazis to destroy OUR PRESIDENT for business and family dealings going back decades. However, you’re the victim because your mother was interviewed about your upbringing. Holy Cow!!!
Oh how I pray she and her boyfriend both go to prison forever!!!??
Buckle up buttercup, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Oh say it isn’t so! Not her! She thinks along with her group of idiots, that is is OK to harass, and get personal with our President, and his family, but, she is exempt from the same treatment! Wake up kid, and smell the coffee!
SHE WANTED TO HOG THE SPOTLIGHT, SO SHUT UP AND COP IT. TRY SWAPPING PLACES WITH MRS. TRUMP?????????
I forgot….She is soooooo SPECIAL……ONLY in her mind, though…..!!!!!
The QUEEN of MEAN is having a HEART ATTACK over “something SMALL” like this…???? What’s she gonna DO when the SHERIFF comes KNOCKING to ARREST her BABY BUTT….Play POSSUM or fall over DEAD instantly for REAL…..?????
Well, I believe she knows that the view from the inside of a prison cell is coming .
SHE, herself is ATTACKING not just the President but his Administration as a whole just about DAILY, thinks that is sooooooooooooo COOL, now she is getting some PAYBACK and she CRACKS, is just about in TEARS over NOTHING right away….WOW, WOW, WOW….THIN skinned, what else is NEW about these SNOWFLAKES…..????!!!!
“You know, when I got to DC I was told that it’s considered “off-limits” to report on a member’s family, love life, etc.” —-This tells everyone how well she pays attention. They do this to Trump practically everyday. Talk about being totally clueless.
Oh, what a BABY she is…..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That’s the amazing thing about AOC; every time she demonstrates how stupid she is, or how ignorant she is, she seems completely un-phazed by it. She feels no shame or embarrassment; instead she reflexively postures as a victim and blames others. I wonder whether she has enough intellect to recognize how incompetent and hopeless she is.
I feel sorry for the twit, in that when she finally realizes her idiocy is showing, she will implode and become a casualty of her own making/
You must have forgotten about Barron Trump being verbally assaulted time and time again.
If she would just learn to shut her stupid mouth she will be better off.
The family thing was for MINOR children, not consenting adults
She really believed her family and personal life was off-limits? Hmm………………….not surprised she was dumb enough to buy that line. So funny when the annoying, barking dog occasionally gets bit.
I am really interested in how her MaMa thinks this woman can get married. Who in the hell wants to listen to her 24/7? By the way where did boyfriend hide his chestnuts?
THIS IS TO FUNNY shes out there shouting her huge mouth off about every one else but cant deal with her own dizzy crap welcome to the big leagues hope to see under real pressure lol
Did she REALLY think that she would not be criticized, scrutinized, and otherwise lose a lot of her “privacy”. The only way she could have avoided that was to keep her mouth shut. But once you look at some of the many pictures of her you can’t help but notice that her mouth is more often open than not. As my children would say — get over it.
I would advise Occasionally-Coherent that if she can’t take the heat….get the hell out of DC….she stands little to no chance of winning reelection so why not do the people a favor and resign and save herself all the ridicule, jokes, parodies, and heartache…she won’t be able to say she accomplished anything in Congress if she does….but the end result will be the same if she stays…Nothing of any consequence, and a whole lot of ridicule, put downs, and failures.
[“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims the media is targeting people in her personal life, something she suggests has been unfairly reserved for her family.”]
What??? AOC doesn’t like what she, the liberal biased mainstream media, and all the Democrats have been doing to President Trump and his family, when it is done to her and her family??? Ahhh, damn, what a shame, when you dish it out, you’re most likely to get it in return, because what goes around, also comes around.
But you have worst trouble than this knocking on your door, like prison time for campaign funds fraud and embezzlement, as you should remember what happened to Dinesh D’Souza, will probably also happen to you and your “Chief of Staff”, for $885,000 of the people’s donated campaign funds is a ‘hell-of-a-lot’ more than Dinesh D’Souza’s own personal $12,000, that he didn’t embezzle, but instead donated to a college friend’s campaign who was running for a political office, and Obama had him sent to prison for it. Guess who is next!
With all the demoncraps attacking anybody even remotely connected to President Trump, why should she expect a pass on the same kind of treatment?
‘ I was told that was off limits”. guess what snowflake – you was told wrong. What the hell does this moron think they have been doing to President Trump for the past 2 years? What did they do to Brett Kavanaugh – Alessandra? You enjoy the cameras and the fame when you feel like it don’t you? Guess what when yiou get famous YOU HAVE NO PRIVACY – everything you do is under the microscope. You wanted to play in the big leagues? You got it. Now deal with it!!! You should see things the way the rest of the world sees you. Then you would have good reason to cry! You’ll probably cry harder and louder than Michael Cohen did when he was sentenced when you are sentenced. Ignorance is NOT a get out of jail free card!
Seems she opened the door, complaining about how much it cost for an apartment, plus all her other BS remarks. Most of 1st year members of either house are seldom heard of, as they are too busy “learning the ropes” and some serve years w/o names getting into print or on the air, she and her 2 cohorts have broken some records.
You know, when you’re grown up you don’t let what others say about you affect or bother you. You ARE a public figure and therefore people will pick at whether you like it or not. You don’t like it? Resign and fade off in to the distance.
When running for political office, it is a given that the personal life is no longer off limits, just the way it is. As far as her getting married, the best course of action would be to QUIT TALKING, most men know stupid when they hear it and do not want to reduce the intelligence of the gene pool.
“Piglosi really needs to pull in the reins on that one.”
She can’t. She’s about to fall off the horse as it is.
Then STFU. Every time I open any web site, there is the bdb (brain dead bartender), teeth extended and her bug eyes screaming about something regardless if she knows what she is talking about. Piglosi really needs to pull in the reins on that one.
Bahahahahahaha Welcome to Mr. President world. It’s called welcome to politic
UH? whatcha think you dems have been doing to our duly elected president??
you got in with a few thousand votes .. he got in with millions of votes..
Not even children are off limits now – – Baron Trump is supposed to be autistic and Lord knows what else. Come on, AOC, tell your mamma to decline interview (or did she get an “honorarium”? Actually you could use your love life to even get more publicity so go for it.
Welcome to politics. Children are considered hands off. Not your mother. Your lack of knowledge is continuing to be one big joke.
