Congresswoman elect Democrat-Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted out a photo of her congressional office this weekend. She made the mistake of adding that she’s just your average girl from the Bronx.

Oops.
Conservative Michael Knowles jumped on her tweet reminding the young socialist that she actually grew up in the elite neighborhood of Westchester miles from the Bronx.
Via Twitchy:
The average household wealth of the town in which you grew up is $1.2 million. https://t.co/4sLCLWfnCb

This set off the socialist princess!
Ocasio-Cortez doubled-down on her fudged bio.
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— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) December 28, 2018
Michael Knowles hit her again and called her out for her repeated lies.
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

As The Gateway Pundit reported back in July 2018 — Ocasio-Cortez was forced to change her campaign bio page after she was caught lying about living in two worlds when she grew up in Worchester. She left the Bronx when she was five-years-old.
And Knowles hit her again.
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

And that resulted in Ocasio-Cortez lashing out at Knowles for “mansplaining” — all because she was caught in a lie!
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

Ocasio-Cortez didn’t take being corrected very well.
VOTER POLL: Does Trump Have Your Vote In 2020?
John Cardillo jumped in the ring to set the record straight.
.@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
