Ocasio-Cortez Shreds Conservative TV Host For Sharing Picture Of Her Childhood Home

New York Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tore into a conservative TV host who tweeted a picture of her childhood home in an attempt to discredit her.
John Cardillo, a host of Newsmax's America Talks Live, shared a picture of Ocasio-Cortez's childhood home in Yorktown Heights, claiming she lived there until she went to attend Brown University.This is the Yorktown Heights (very nice area) home @Ocasio2018 grew up in before going off to Ivy League Brown University.

Ocasio-Cortez actually went to Boston University. She lived in the Bronx's Parkchester apartments before moving to Yorktown Heights at age 5 to attend a better public school than what was available in the Bronx at that time, according to her campaign website.
The self-proclaimed democratic socialist is running as a Democrat in New York's 14th Congressional District, which encompasses the Bronx and Queens, after defeating incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley (D) in a stunning primary earlier this month.
Ocasio-Cortez fired back at Cardillo Sunday afternoon, saying she did not attend Brown University or any other Ivy League school.Hey John,

1. I didn’t go to Brown or the Ivy League. I went to BU. Try Google.
2. It is nice. Growing up, it was a good town for working people. My mom scrubbed toilets so I could live here & I grew up seeing how the zip code one is born in determines much of their opportunity.
She also tore in Cardillo's attempt to discredit her.3. Your attempt to strip me of my family, my story, my home, and my identity is exemplary of how scared you are of the power of all four of those things.

Cardillo later tweeted a clarification after noting he had misidentified her alma mater.Earlier version of this story misidentified your alma mater as Brown @Ocasio2018.

I stand corrected.
That said, you’re not a “girl from the Bronx.”https://t.co/6H5VR9G3P0 https://t.co/NCIg4ildzF
"The 40 minute drive represented a vastly different quality of available schooling, economic opportunity, and health outcomes," her website states.
Ocasio-Cortez returned to the Bronx after graduating from college.
Shortly after the exchange, Cardillo invited Ocasio-Cortez to appear on his show.
"I'd love to have @Ocasio2018 as a guest on my show and debate her. Respectful debate. No cutting her off. I'm genuinely curious," he tweeted. "Alexandria, will you accept?"
I kinda hope she does accept just to put this conservative clown in his place. He didn't read the information about her so he assumes that she lived in Yorktown Heights until she went to "Ivy League Brown University." Dude, read your information. She is a graduation of Boston University (and may I add, this is the same university that graduated WWE's Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon... but that's another story for another time). How in the world did you get Brown University? I hope she does accept your offer for a debate, because I feel, she will shred you in person, just like she shredded you in these tweets.
Just saying.
