evidence: In one of the few interviews she’s ever done about her daughter, Blanca Ocasio-Cortez told the Daily Mail about how her daughter got her name. It had been her husband’s suggestion they call her Alexandria. "I thought about it for a while and I said, ‘Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,’ " she recalled. " ‘That sounds very powerful. That’ll be her name.’ " [...] None of that is to say that the political establishment has become any more fair or her existence in Washington any more fun. In July 2020, Republican Representative Ted Yoho passed the congresswoman on the Capitol steps and reportedly told her she was "disgusting" while later referring to her as a "fucking bitch." (Yoho apologised but denied that he ever said the "offensive name-calling words.") In May 2021, Ocasio-Cortez was confronted outside of the House Chamber by Marjorie Taylor Greene, a far-right member of the Republican caucus, who ran up to her and demanded she explain why she supports "terrorist groups" like Black Lives Matter and insisted Ocasio-Cortez debate her "radical socialist beliefs" with her, according to two Washington Post reporters who were present. Last November, Arizona Republican Paul Gosar posted an online anime video that depicted him using swords to kill Ocasio-Cortez.
