Editing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

'''Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez''', frequently referred to by her acronym, '''AOC''', is a representative in the [[United States of America|US]] House of Representatives.

She is closely aligned with the congressional clique called [[The Squad (United States Congress)|The Squad]], which claims itself to be a progressive voting bloc, but has since disappointed voters repeatedly by showing their opportunism and ineffectiveness. Her record in congress has been a disappointment.<ref>{{News citation|author=Abigail Tracy|newspaper=Vanity Fair|title=“THIS BEACON OF HOPE IS BEING CORRUPTED BY THE SYSTEM”: THE BATTLE FOR ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ’S PROGRESSIVE SOUL|date=2019-06-10|url=https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/06/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-progressives-congress}}</ref><ref>{{News citation|newspaper=[[Hard Lens Media]]|title=Independent Media Calling Out The Hypocrisy Of AOC|date=2022-06-27|url=https://youtu.be/Az5irQSUItQ}}</ref>
