Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,Watch What Every Frenchwoman Wants Online the 28-year-old who recently won a huge upset in the New York Democratic primary, has no time for people trying to discredit her hard work.
On Sunday, conservative John Cardillo — a host of Newsmax's "America Talks Live" — posted a photograph of Ocasio-Cortez's childhood home in Yorktown Heights on Twitter.
He shared the image because he felt the house showed a far different from the struggle-filled childhood in the Bronx Ocasio-Cortez claims to have had, but believe it or not the tweet didn't wind up working in his favor.

She further explains on her website that while she was born in the Bronx, her parents worked hard to move her family to Yorktown Heights when she was five so she could attend a better public school.
Despite all this information, readily available online, Cardillo tweeted, "This is the Yorktown Heights (very nice area) home Ocasio-Cortez grew up in before going off to Ivy League Brown University. A far cry from the Bronx hood upbringing she's selling."

In response to the tweet, Ocasio-Cortez first corrected Cardillo, explaining she went to Boston University, not Brown, and then said that her parents worked incredibly hard for the family to be able to live in the small house.
"My mom scrubbed toilets so I could live here & I grew up seeing how the zip code one is born in determines much of their opportunity," she tweeted, adding, "Your attempt to strip me of my family, my story, my home, and my identity is exemplary of how scared you are of the power of all four of those things."

Regardless of where Ocasio-Cortez lived for the majority of her childhood, what Twitter users reallycouldn't get over was the fact that the 28-year-old had the absolute nerve to grow up in A HOUSE!
Via GiphyCardillo was quickly trolled by supporters of Ocasio-Cortez who joked that their view of the candidate completely changed after learning she once lived in a small house in a nice neighborhood. And, I mean, no one who lives in a house could possibly be hard working or struggling to make ends meet, right? So all trust in the candidate must certainly be lost now.
