NY state assemblyman shares yearbook photo showing Ocasio-Cortez attended suburban high school nearly an hour from the Bronx
A New York state lawmaker called out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., over her upbringing after she referred to herself as a tough "Bronx girl" during an internet spat in which she traded jabs with President Donald Trump.
State Assemblyman Matt Slater, a Republican, called out the progressive firebrand, who represents portions of the Bronx and Queens, shared an image of her during her freshman year in suburban Yorktown High School, almost an hour north of the Bronx.
"If you’re a BX girl then why are you in my Yorktown yearbook? Give it up already," Tweeted Slater, who was a senior at the same school when Ocasio-Cortez was a freshman.
