Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has a new interview with GQ —and oh boy.
According to a report from The Daily Wire, AOC’s latest profile in GQ Magazine has some strange revelations from the Democratic Socialist, including that she’s “terrified Trump supporters could kill her this month, [she] worries about marrying a white man, and [she] feels mistreated by fellow Democrats.”
“I hold two contradictory things at the same time,” Ocasio-Cortez says in the interview. “One is just the relentless belief that anything is possible. But at the same time, my experience here has given me a front-row seat to how deeply and unconsciously, as well as consciously, so many people in this country hate women. And they hate women of color.”

The New York congresswoman also worries whether or not she’ll be alive by the end of the month.
“People ask me questions about the future,” she said. “And realistically, I can’t even tell you if I’m going to be alive in September. And that weighs very heavily on me. And it’s not just the right wing. Misogyny transcends political ideology: left, right, center.”
AOC and her fellow “Squad” members have called to defund the police while simultaneously paying for private security details with taxpayer money. If she doesn’t feel safe, it may be due to her own policy positions.
The congresswoman is also concerned about her multi-racial relationship and her fellow Democrats.
From The Daily Wire:
Ocasio-Cortez, who in April got engaged to Riley Roberts in April, discusses her concerns about spending her life with a white man, worrying about the difficulties of a multi-racial, multi-cultural relationship.
But of all her troubles with misogynists and Trump supporters, AOC claims her own political party’s treatment of her has been the most disappointing. After her election in 2018, Democrat House members gave her the cold shoulder, she said.
“It was open hostility, open hostility to my presence, my existence,” Ocasio-Cortez said.“Since I got here, literally day one, even before day one, I’ve experienced a lot of targeting diminishment from my party. And the pervasiveness of that diminishment, it was all-encompassing at times. I feel a little more steady on my own two feet now.”
AOC says she feels “despised” in her role.
“Imagine working a job and your bosses don’t like you and folks on your team are suspicious of you. And then the competing company is trying to kill you,” she said.
Former Trump aide Stephen Miller commented on the tweet about AOC’s GQ feature.
“Our nation’s cultural elite is a completely closed loop of extreme woke politics and radical left ideology.”
