AOC Is MAAAAD That A Republican “Tried To Mansplain Her Own Childhood”

As Hannah mentioned a few days back, AOC tweeted what miiiiight be the most cringe-worthy tweet OF ALL TIME:

🎶 Don’t be fooled by the plaques that we got, I’m still / I’m still Alex from the Bronx 🎶 pic.twitter.com/eO68AGxn2z

Giiiiirl. Really? We all know you’re not from the Bronx at this point. This isn’t doing you ANY favors.

But I suppose “I’m still/ I’m still Alex from Westchester’ doesn’t really work, does it?

The average household wealth of the town in which you grew up is $1.2 million. https://t.co/4sLCLWfnCb

Yiiiiikes.

Yep. As everyone knows, I grew up between two worlds + experienced 1st hand how a child’s zip code can shape their destiny.

It was scrubbing those households’ toilets w/ my mother that I saw and breathed income inequality.

I decided to make a difference.
You decide to do this. https://t.co/kMtbGQo8o8

Ok, darling. You “experienced 1st hand how a child’s zip code can shape their destiny.” Your zip code was one of the most affluent in the country. So yes. You’re literally admitting you are PRIVILEGED without realizing it, huh?

So your mother worked hard. Yes, many mothers do. She worked hard to keep you in amazing schools that probably gave you the opportunities you have today. (Though seemingly you didn’t learn much from them, huh?) CLEANING TOILETS DOES NOT MAKE YOU FROM THE BRONX.

You didn’t grow up b/w 2 worlds. You grew up in Westchester then lied abt it then changed your bio when the lie was exposed. I grew up in the (⬇️affluent ⬆️diverse) neighboring town, spent many wknds in the Bronx. The difference: I don’t lie abt my upbringing to feign victimhood. https://t.co/uitqPocXU8

He’s still/ He’s still Michael from the Bronx?

When we came to the United States is 2002, my family moved to an affluent suburb of Indianapolis: Zionsville, Indiana. While we did not have the money many of the other Zionsville residents had, I benefited from the safe environment and absolutely incredible schools.

I also took a job when I was 13 cleaning and answering phones for a realtor’s office. I scrubbed their toilets every Sunday. Am I still/ I still Ashley from Naptown? Does this mean I “lived between two worlds?”

NO. I AM ASHLEY FROM ZIONSVILLE. WHETHER OR NOT MY PARENTS DROVE A BENZ. (They didn’t.) How is this difficult?

Right, but @Ocasio2018 didn’t grow up in a city. She grew up in a small, homogenous, affluent suburb, where she attended excellent schools before pretending she grew up in the Bronx. https://t.co/rLaUCLp3R8

In which a Republican literally tries to mansplaining *my own childhood* and life to me.

And in true mansplaining form, he’s doing it wrong with an great degree of confidence.

It begs the question: is the GOP really “sending us their best?” 🤔 https://t.co/GNr9NACGoC

Sweetheart, he’s doing it with a “great degree of confidence” because he’s right.

.@Ocasio2018 every word he wrote is accurate.

You grew up in an affluent Westchester suburb, not the Bronx. You flat out lied.

I spent more time on the streets of the south Bronx than you, so please slow your roll Congresswoman. https://t.co/6zmnmVm2RE

F’real.

She’s obviously t*cked:

You’re the dude whose immediate reaction to winning my primary was posting a photo of my mom’s house.

Going to public school in Yorktown has *always* been how I told the story of income inequality.

You didn’t even know who I was 7 months ago. You’re not gonna “birther” me now. https://t.co/0MFKVX0eI0

Lastly, to all these corny Republicans trying to take the Bronx away from me: where on earth do you think these clapback Twitter hands came from??

Only one place 🙅🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️

…wut?

My mamá taught me how to deal with bullies. When I moved to a new town at a young age, I stuck out for all sorts of reasons: I looked different, I spoke Spanish, my clothes weren’t as nice.

Bullies don’t bother me, but this parent’s account touched my heart. People are watching. https://t.co/JKqo3ZaXOz

When I moved to Zionsville, Indiana I had ACTUALLY moved from Mexico, I spoke Spanish, and my clothes weren’t as nice.

I did juuuust fine.

Kind of funny that AOC wants us to pity her for this, while simultaneously believing she’s “tough” for having “survived” it.

She “survived” Westchester, y’all! Everybody clap!
