(snip) -- Ocasio-Cortez herself told a Post reporter that she would talk to him after an event on Saturday and had him wait for her downstairs.
But after 20 minutes of waiting he found that she had snuck out the back door and left in a limousine.
The reporter spoke to neighbors of Ocasio-Cortez and found out some oddities in her Bronx story.
Her next door neighbor told The Post that she has never met the 29-year-old Congresswoman.
A postal worker said that in 10 years of delivering mail to the apartment he has only seen her occasionally and that her mail piles up for months.
“Just because their names are on the box doesn’t mean they live there,” he told The Post.
“Constituents come here and leave notes on the door,” he said. “But it’s a waste of time.”

.... the beguiling post turtle
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has painted a picture of herself as a tough woman from the Bronx but it appears to be a façade.
It has been alleged before that she was raised in the affluent Westchester region of New York and was a fraud. She has strongly denied those accusations and insisted she was raised in the Bronx and Westchester.
But now that she is a Congresswoman she insists that she resides full time in the Bronx and her brand is built on that premise.
That is when she is not living in her luxury apartment in Washington D.C. that has no units for the poor people she says she represents.
Now a new story in The New York Post casts serious doubts on that assertion.
She may be America’s most famous freshman congresswoman, but in New York, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a virtual ghost.
She has no district office and no local phone number, unlike the state’s three other freshman members.
