Matt Slater taunts AOC’s 'Bronx girl' tough talk with yearbook photo: 'End this charade and come clean'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: A New York state lawmaker has questioned Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s roots after she referred to herself as a “Bronx girl” during a spat with President Donald Trump on Tuesday, June 24.

State Assemblyman Matt Slater, a Republican, criticized the progressive firebrand by posting a photo of her from her freshman year at suburban Yorktown High School, located about 40 minutes from the Bronx, according to The New York Post.

Slater tweeted, “@AOC if you're a BX girl then why are you in my Yorktown yearbook? Give it up already.”

His jab came after the Democrat engaged in a social media spat with Trump.

The commander-in-chief called AOC “one of the dumbest people in Congress” after she demanded his impeachment over the Iran strike.

On his Truth Social page, he wrote, “Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the “dumbest” people in Congress, is now calling for my impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before.”

“The reason for her ‘rantings’ is all of the victories that the USA has had under the Trump Administration. The Democrats aren’t used to winning, and she can’t stand the concept of our Country being successful again,” he stated, before adding, “How dare ‘The Mouse’ tells us how to run the United States of America!”

But the 35-year-old politician hit back on X.

She posted, “Mr President, don’t take your anger out on me - I’m just a silly girl. Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war. It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made.”

In another post, she asserted, “Also, I’m a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully.”

Meanwhile, Slater spoke with Fox News Digital, where he said, “When I saw the tweet making her out to be this tough Bronx girl, I'd just had enough. I literally just reached behind me and grabbed my yearbook, clicked the photos and said: ‘Listen, enough is enough.'”

He even urged the congresswoman to “end this charade and come clean.”

“The fact that she continues this charade, I think, disrespects this town. I think that’s part of the problem these days—people just want real leaders, not manufactured, fake folks who feel like they have to hide their past or create a false narrative to score points, win votes, or get attention,” Slater added.

However, a spokesperson for Ocasio-Cortez defended her on June 25 by pointing to her official biography.

Her bio states: “Throughout her childhood, Representative Ocasio-Cortez traveled regularly to the Bronx to spend time with her extended family.”
