[quote]WASHINGTON, D.C.—Despite scrutiny from critics, incoming congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continues to claim she grew up on the hard-knock streets of Mos Eisley, the thriving hub of the seedy underworld of the desert planet Tatooine.
"I'm still Alex from the most wretched hive of scum and villainy," she tweeted along with a picture of her new congressional office. "You can take me out of the dangerous, crime-ridden spaceport, but you can't take the dangerous, crime-ridden spaceport out of me."
She also added that growing up in a place full of criminals should help her adjust to Washington, D.C. life quickly.
Critics were quick to point out that Mos Eisley is a fictional spaceport from the Star Wars universe, but Ocasio-Cortez hit them with the perfect clapback, accusing her critics of "mansplaining" and "catcalling" her. "Just because Mos Eisley is fictional, doesn't mean it's not real," she said.
At publishing time, Ocasio-Cortez had admitted she actually grew up on the upper levels of Coruscant, but it was "close enough" to qualify as living in the streets of Mos Eisley.[/quote]

[quote]Okay, Mos Eisley was not the underworld hub of Tatooine. It was an incredibly small black-market desert town, and while one of the worse places to be in the galaxy, certainly wasn't at the center of the black-market underworld.[/quote] ^Wyoming

Edited by CAD1420Z: 1/10/2019 6:51:34 PMIf she's from Mos Eisley or Coruscant, where the hell is our affordable space travel damnit? I want to go on adventures in space and get some cool blasters and armor. Because let's face it, who WOULDN'T want a set of Mandalorian or Phase 2 Clone Trooper armor?

Edited by Mandalorian16_1: 1/10/2019 5:21:14 PMNice satire. Now, I've been to Coruscant, it's only the lower levels that can compare to Anchorhead, the upper levels are regularly patrolled and are avioded by most of the underworld as much as possible. [spoiler]For the Mandalor![/spoiler]
