Ocasio-Cortez gets so many death threats that knocking on her office door makes staffers 'stiffen'
The youngest Congresswoman in the United States' history, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has been featured in Time magazine's latest cover, gets frequent death threats. Reports state that the democrat socialist has received so many death threats till now that her staff has been trained to evaluate visitors to her Capitol Hill Office. This also includes people who leave Post-It notes on the plaque in the hallway, according to reports.
The 29-year-old, who has become "the second-most-talked-about politician in the country right now" after Trump, told the magazine in a profile that she misses not being in a political bubble.
"I miss being able to go outside in sweats. I can’t go anywhere in public and just be a person without a lot of people watching everything I do," she told Time this month.
