AOC
Ocasio-Cortez attended Yorktown High School, graduating in 2007, where she won second prize in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with a microbiology research project on the effect of antioxidants on C. elegans’ lifespan. As a result, the International Astronomical Union named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez
She graduated from Boston University with a cum laud bachelors in economics and international relations. While in Massachusetts she interned at Senator Ted Kennedy’s office.
She worked on Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign learning the basics for her 2018 run for Congress.
She and and Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan [who became famous for referring to Trump as the ‘motherf*cker’] have both been appointed to the Financial Services committee and the Oversight committee of the House. This is not good news for Wall Street, the banks, or the Trump administration.
Ocasio-Cortez has displayed knowledge of science, technology, economics, and foreign relations. It should be obvious why Republicans are afraid of her.
