IS AOC HOMELESS?

Some right-wing conspiracy guy has been doing background work on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and has discovered that she doesn't live at her registered address in the Bronx, which means she can't legally represent that district.  Her neighbors say they've never seen her there and the post office says mail literally sits for months without being retrieved. A report also says that when she filed paperwork to run for office, she mistakenly listed a neighboring district before correcting the error days later. 

She was at some event in Queens Saturday night and, when questioned about her residency, she ducked out a side door.  Suddenly on Sunday, she tweeted that she actually lived in the Bronx just a block and a half from the registered address.  She said she didn't want to reveal the new address because her life had been threatened. 

Since she's supposedly lived in the neighborhood for years, you'd think local store owners would know her.  But, a nearby pizzeria and a local grocery store told The Post she never patronized their businesses. A server at a nearby taqueria said Ocasio-Cortez only came in with news crews.  

If she did move, as she suggests, she would have to report her new address to the election folks to certify she was still within her district.  If that hasn't been done, or if it should turn out there is no rental agreement at her new place... well, one would be obliged to assume that she's homeless and living out of the back seat of a Uber.
