Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), often in the spotlight for her far-left policies and agenda, found herself the center of attention again this week for a different reason this time—addressing circulating pregnancy rumors on social media.
“[People] keep asking me if I’m pregnant,” Ocasio-Cortez shared. “Actually, a member—a Republican—came to me on the floor this week and asked me if I was pregnant.”
“I’m not pregnant, guys. I just had a lot of food at Thanksgiving. Okay? It happens,” she noted further with a shrug.
Last week, in a vote by the House Democrats’ Steering and Policy Committee, centrist Democrat Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia defeated socialist AOC of New York in her attempt to become the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee.
