Summary
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told TMZ outside Capitol Hill she would “probably not” date a conservative after her reported split from longtime fiancé Riley Roberts.
Asked why, the New York Democrat said politics is tied to values for her and that being aligned on those values is “tremendously important.”
Ocasio-Cortez added there was “no foul” toward people who can separate politics from romance, while her office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the reported breakup.
The exchange lands in a more polarized dating climate, contrasting with older cross-party pairings such as Democratic strategist James Carville and former GOP consultant Mary Matalin, who have been married for more than 30 years.
