Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's mother knew her daughter would be someone 'powerful' even before her birth
Blanca Ocasio-Cortez said that AOC was given her political education when she was a teenager, and it generally happened at the dinner table.
The youngest Congresswoman in American history, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has maintained that it was her mother who inspired her to take up the fight for the "little guy," and now her mother, Blanca Ocasio-Cortez, in an interview, has said that she always knew her daughter would do something big.
The 56-year-old mother of the socialist Democrat, in an interview with the Daily Mail, said that she knew her daughter would be someone powerful even before her birth.
"Her dad and I were preparing for Alexandria's birth and still picking names," Blanca said. "And he came up with ''Alexandria.'' I thought about it for a while and I said: ''Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. That sounds very powerful. That'll be her name.'''
