‘Democratic’ challenger to Ocasio-Cortez lived in Trump Tower, moved to her district last year

Michelle Caruso-Cabrera is considered one of the more viable candidates running against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the primary for her Bronx-Queens district seat. Caruso-Cabrera has a lot of money behind her. She has a lot of money behind her because Caruso-Cabrera used to be a Republican who is now a pro-business small government “centrist” Democrat. That’s her selling point. She’s also a CNBC correspondent and anchor, so she’s been on television—you know, like Donald Trump.

One of Caruso-Cabrera’s political angles on Ocasio-Cortez is saying AOC is out of touch with her constituents. As Business Insider points out, Caruso-Cabrera has attacked AOC’s Bronx roots, in essence calling AOC a carpetbagger. Of course, Caruso-Cabrera forgets to mention that while AOC moved back to her birth borough after college, where she lived while she worked as a bartender, Caruso-Carbrera is from New Hampshire and lived in Trump Tower in Manhattan up until last year—when she moved to Queens.
