In a shocking turn of events, GOP assemblyman Bob Smith has come forward with what he claims to be damning evidence of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “suburban roots.” After a heated Twitter spat with President Trump, Smith dug deep into AOC’s past and unearthed her high school yearbook, which he proudly displayed during a press conference.
“Here we have incontrovertible proof that AOC is not the working-class hero she claims to be,” Smith proclaimed, holding up the yearbook for all to see. “Look at this picture of her posing in front of a picket fence – clearly a symbol of her privileged suburban upbringing.”
When asked for his thoughts on the matter, President Trump chimed in with his trademark wit, saying, “I’ve always said AOC is nothing but a fake socialist. She’s probably never even had to wait in line for the latest iPhone release.”
AOC, for her part, seemed unfazed by the accusations, responding with a witty retort of her own. “Oh, so now I’m being criticized for being too suburban? I guess next they’ll say I’m too good at math or too good-looking. Bring it on, GOP – I can take whatever you throw at me.”
Meanwhile, comedian John Oliver couldn’t resist poking fun at the whole situation on his show. “Ah, yes, the classic ‘suburban roots’ argument. Because as we all know, growing up in the suburbs is the surefire way to become a ruthless socialist hellbent on destroying capitalism,” Oliver joked, as the audience erupted in laughter.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear – AOC’s suburban roots may be the latest ammunition in the GOP’s arsenal, but the congresswoman shows no signs of backing down. And with her quick wit and sharp tongue, she’s sure to keep the laughs coming in this never-ending political circus.
