A New York state lawmaker called out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., over her upbringing after she referred to herself as a tough “Bronx girl” during an internet spat in which she traded jabs with President Donald Trump.

State Assemblyman Matt Slater, a Republican, called out the progressive firebrand, who represents portions of the Bronx and Queens, shared an image of her during her freshman year in suburban Yorktown High School, almost an hour north of the Bronx.

“If you’re a BX girl then why are you in my Yorktown yearbook? Give it up already,” Tweeted Slater, who was a senior at the same school when Ocasio-Cortez was a freshman.

Slater’s move came after Ocasio-Cortez got into a social media spat with Trump after she called for his impeachment for ordering strikes over the weekend that targeted Iranian nuclear sites.

“When I saw the tweet making her out to be this tough Bronx girl, I’d just had enough,” Slater told Fox News Digital. “I literally just reached behind me and grabbed my yearbook, clicked the photos and said: ‘Listen, enough is enough.’”

“You’re from Yorktown,” he said. “Let’s end this charade and come clean.”

Prior to Slater’s post, Ocasio-Cortez traded barbs with Trump via social media.

In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump criticized the congresswoman, calling her “stupid” and “one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress.”
