Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s tough Bronx image is facing new criticism as an old childhood nickname from her suburban upbringing raises questions about her portrayed persona. Her recent clash with President Trump over the Iran situation has prompted her to assert her identity as a “Bronx girl” on X, highlighting her background while calling for his impeachment.
