To be fair, she didn’t represent it until she moved there. She grew up in Westchester County, not the Bronx. Not that it’s a prerequisite for being Congresswoman, but that’s what it is. Then again, neither did Mitt Romney.
She was born in the Bronx, and then moved back there after college. Isn't Westchester right next to the Bronx anyway? Whatever though.
The county is one of the richest. The home she lived in was decidedly not rich. She got a college education by working very hard and having poor parents make sacrifices for her.
Please. She grew up in Yorktown Heights and her father owned an architectural firm. That doesn’t mean her family didn’t work for their money and bust their ass, but she’s not just a hard-scrabble chick from the Bronx. Fun fact about Yorktown Heights, it has an enormous park called Donald Trump State Park.
Can I say that I do not care about Cortez? The media only cared about her because she won a surprising upset against a long-tenured Congressman, and then the conservative media latched onto her as someone to hate now that Hillary Clinton is finished. She'll be an ineffective one term representative and that will be that.
Above all others, this is the reason why it is a moral imperative to vote against the GOP at all times: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/07/climate/ipcc-climate-report-2040.html
She’s also being touted by prominent Democrats, front groups, and the base as the future of where the party needs to go. She can be ineffective legislatively but still grandstand about the topics and blame whatever ism she want for holding the platform back. Plus this is Congress she can fail forward like any of them. How much actual legislation did Obama get through in his two odd years in the senate? He was just ahead of the curve on fundraising really.
Just saw an article a few days ago about business men picking up her travel tabs. Probably something to do with that.
Trump says 'no one more competent in the world' than daughter Ivanka to replace Nikki Haley as UN ambassador This is one of those things where he's clearly joking, and and the same time clearly not joking.
Ivanka has come out and said she's not going to be taking the appointment. I don't know why the fuck Trump would even bring something like that up, but yeah... I'm not sure if there was a scandal with Haley. It seems like Trump hope she comes back, and he should because she is one of the very few people in the administration that is actually well liked. It could easily just be that she has her head screwed on too straight for this administration and needed to call it quits after a couple years to maintain her sanity.
Shes 46 and isnt wealthy. She can probably rake in some serious cash in the private sector now. I would do it. Being the US ambassador to the UN must be a terrible job, given how retarded the UN is.
