Ocasio-Cortez Says She'd Probably Not Date a Conservative After Reported Split From Fiancé

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 2

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.
