Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) responded to rumors circulating about her being pregnant, after a Republican congressman asked her point-blank if she was expecting.
The exchange occurred last week on the floor of the House of Representatives, where Ocasio-Cortez says she was approached by the congressman who posed the unexpected question. In a response that quickly gained attention on social media, Ocasio-Cortez clarified the situation in a candid statement.
“A Republican came to me on the floor this week and asked me if I was pregnant. I’m not pregnant, guys,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a brief video posted to her social media accounts. “I had a lot of food at Thanksgiving. Okay. It happens.”
AOC: “I’m not pregnant guys”.

For now, Ocasio-Cortez has made it clear that her focus remains on her work in Congress, rather than responding to rumors or speculations about her private life.
