AOC Shoots Down Idea of Dating a Republican

Ocasio-Cortez said shared values matter in a partner as Fox News hosts mocked her comments and recent breakup.

  • Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told TMZ reporter Charlie Cotton she 'probably' would not date a Republican, citing the importance of shared values as she addressed the question outside the Capitol.
  • Ocasio-Cortez recently ended her engagement to Riley Roberts and has spent the last month documenting her egg-freezing process on social media, potentially positioning herself for a 2028 presidential run.
  • 'I think a lot of politics sometimes, at least for me, is about values,' Ocasio-Cortez said, insisting she wasn't calling 'foul' on cross-party romance despite her preference for aligned values.
  • On Tuesday, Fox News host Julie Banderas criticized the lawmaker on Jesse Watters Primetime, claiming 'no conservative' would want to date Ocasio-Cortez and only a 'brave soul' would father her future children.
  • Ocasio-Cortez is considered a potential 2028 White House candidate or contender for the Senate seat held by Sen Chuck Schumer, 75, who has not confirmed whether he will seek a sixth term.
