Oh, the internet never sleeps, does it? This time, it’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) addressing pregnancy rumors with the kind of bluntness we’ve come to expect from her. In a video posted to social media, the Congresswoman cleared the air after a Republican colleague asked her if she was expecting. Her answer? No, she’s not pregnant—she just overindulged at Thanksgiving. Classic.
AOC Sets the Record Straight
For those who missed it, AOC said, “Everyone keeps asking me if I’m pregnant. A Republican came to me on the floor this week and asked me if I was pregnant. I’m not, guys. I just had a lot of food at Thanksgiving. Okay? It happens.” The video even had a cheeky “you’re glowing” caption, which probably only fanned the flames.
The rumors started swirling after photos and video clips of AOC sparked speculation on social media. Combine that with the fact she’s been engaged since 2022 to Riley Roberts, and suddenly everyone with a Wi-Fi connection decided to play armchair detective. But AOC has been quick to laugh it off, effectively saying, “Relax, people. I had seconds—and maybe thirds—of turkey, not a baby bump.”
Gossip vs Reality: The Social Media Circus
Of course, not everyone is buying her explanation. Social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), is full of skeptics who point to AOC’s “track record” of alleged evasiveness. Because why take someone at their word when you can spiral into conspiracy theories instead? For better or worse, this is par for the course when you’re a public figure in the digital age.
Now here’s the thing: whether you’re a fan of AOC or not, this kind of gossip is a bit ridiculous. She’s a sitting member of Congress—not some reality star chasing headlines! Maybe we could redirect our conversations toward more pressing issues like inflation or border security? But alas! Welcome to modern politics where discussions about someone’s midsection during Thanksgiving generate more buzz than actual policies that affect our lives.
