Fred Trump made sure of that
AOC did it all on her own
She lied that she came from poverty? Odd.

She came up on her own
Trump had Daddy Warbucks
Oh is that right? I guess that makes sense if you ignore that her father was a well-off architect and CEO of Kirschenbaum & Ocasio-Roman Architects, PC. The "financial struggles" she often cited during her campaign didn't start until her father died intestate while she was in college--note:
she back-peddled and changed her bio after these lies were exposed.
She was raised in the suburb of Yorktown Heights in Westchester County, "
one of the most wealthy counties in the United States; [] where former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton reside."
"According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly three-quarters of the county's 980,000 people are white, the average home price is more than a half million dollars, the median household income is nearly $90,000 and just 10 percent of the county lives in poverty. CNBC even ranked the county as the 8th richest county in the U.S. when considering wealth concentration of the area's richest 1 percent."

She claimed to be from Parkchester in the Bronx, which was shown to be a lie once it was revealed that her family moved from Parkchester to Yorktown Heights in Westchester when she was only 5 years old. To that end:
The median annual income in the [Yorktown Heights] area is $116,741, compared to the median annual income of $48,315 in Parkchester's zip code, according to the latest Census data.

Yes, that's nearly
double the
U.S. median annual income of $63,179 for the same year. Translation, she grew up quite wealthy, and fooled a bunch of dupes into believing she was just "Jenny From the Bronx." Sadly, you people either still don't know the truth, or don't care.
So, nice try, but fail. Please try again.
