Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made headlines twice over the weekend after she refused to denounce the overtly radical communist streamer Hasan Piker and then rounded out her day by...freezing her eggs on social media.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has announced she is freezing her eggs and has posted a video of her injecting herself with medication.

“This is just not something that men deal with,” she said before injecting herself.

As the relationship between Piker and the terror-tied Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed continues to flourish, Ocasio-Cortez says that she refuses to turn on communism’s biggest social media star.
“Many of the same consultants that are wringing their hands today were the same ones talking about how we need to go on Joe Rogan and we need to be not so willing to engage in cancel culture,” Ocasio-Cortez told ABC. “Democrats have a responsibility to build a winning coalition, and young people are engaging in mediums and conversations that we have a responsibility to attend to and be responsive to.”
Hasan has become a focal point of the El-Sayed campaign for his blatantly anti-American comments and beliefs. El-Sayed has refused to distance himself from Piker, and claims that Piker’s comments about America deserving 9/11 are “out of context.”
El-Sayed on Hasan Piker: To sit here and play gotcha politics with a dumb thing somebody said out of context…I want to be held accountable for what I say and what I do rather than this idea that we're so stuck in cancel culture that all of us agreed was a bad idea back in 2020… pic.twitter.com/88OUSzIQLM

Shortly after she launched a defense of Democrats allying themselves with Piker, Ocasio-Cortez announced that she was beginning the process of freezing her eggs while injecting medication in a social media vlog.
“This is a choice that I am making to feel more in control of my life,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “And if people want to make assumptions about my decision, let them make those assumptions. I feel empowered to make this choice.”
The “empowered” Ocasio-Cortez is 36 years old and has been engaged to her long-time fiance since 2022, after the couple had been dating for a number of years. The choice comes amid speculation that Ocasio-Cortez will launch a bid for the presidency in 2028.
