.AOC shares how her father 'made me believe that I had true power in this world'
A new documentary following Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's political rise sees the then-candidate reflect on what life was like before she became the youngest woman to join Congress in the November elections last year.
In one particularly moving moment in the documentary, the now-representative for New York's 14th congressional district, opens up about the close bond she shared with her father, who passed away when she was in college. Following her election victory, critics tried to shame Ocasio-Cortez, who has long touted her Bronx roots, over her upbringing in suburban Yorktown in northern Westchester County.
